Moscow’s church spy network in Estonia | Eastern Express

Estonia says the Estonian Christian Orthodox Church may have changed its name, but not its loyalties. In this episode of Eastern Express, we examine how Tallinn views Moscow-linked religious institutions as part of Russia’s broader influence infrastructure across Europe.

Host Diana Skaya and her guest, Andrzej Szabaciuk, Assistant Professor of Political Theory and Eastern Studies at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, break down the growing confrontation between Estonian authorities, the Russian Orthodox Church, and the Kremlin’s hybrid warfare model.

The debate raises difficult questions about religious freedom, national security, and the limits of democratic tolerance during wartime. And it shows how modern geopolitical conflict increasingly reaches into institutions once considered outside politics altogether.
