TALLINN - Tensions between Estonia and Russia show no signs of declining any time soon and the latest manifestation of ill-will concerns the spring ‘cyber attacks’ on Estonia which are widely believed to have emanated from Russia in the immediate aftermath of the ‘Bronze Soldier’ controversy.

Earlier this week, the Russian embassy in Tallinn said that it has not witheld assistance with regard to an ongoing Estonian probe in to the attacks, but didn’t help because the authorities’ request was not formulated properly.b

Quoting the impenetrable legalese of the Russian Prosecutor General's Office, the embassy said that the existing bilateral legal assistance agreement implies procedural actions prescribed by the laws of both parties and does not envision search actions aimed at establishing the whereabouts of individuals concerning the investigation.
