Estonia expelled the Russian Leonid Krabashkin from the country, on suspicion of having connections with the intelligence services. The Russian Leonid Krabashkin was deported from Estonia, according to the police report in the country. His residence permit was also revoked and he was banned from entering the Schengen area. "The purpose of this step is to prevent and suppress the security threat it poses to the Estonian state, and more broadly, to Europe," the police said in a statement. According to the police, Kravashkin had contacts with the Russian intelligence services and with people working for their interests. "He regularly traveled to Russia and met with them there. Some of them are subject to sanctions from the European Union and Ukraine for carrying out hostile influence activities on behalf of Russia. In addition, he is associated with influence networks such as CIRP, Robaltik and Malka, as well as with people associated with them," said police spokeswoman Martha Towle. Krabashkin has been living in Estonia since 2006. From 2022 to 2024 he worked on the Russian-language edition of Error.
