A small but valuable lesson from Estonia about Russian influence operations that disrupt Western society. Whether Estonia, Germany, Britain, US or elsewhere, Russian interference does not reflect true social conflict but Russia’s attempt to create or magnify social tension to disrupt Western society and undermine legitimate government.
All Western democracies are susceptible to disruption because they support individual freedoms and tolerate differences of opinion. However, small disruptive acts such as those described by Russia in the article can escalate into social conflict. Western democracies must guard against malignant acts that are not true differences of opinion but are outside interference aimed at weakening the West.
