Anton Weg, a Finnish-Russian dual citizen, purchased Sandvikin guest marina and camping area in Kökar, Åland Islands in May 2026. He denies any knowledge or connections to Russian entities or to previous Russian visitors to Kökar, opposing the war and rejecting claims linking him to Kremlin contacts. The ownership change involved only the company shares, with property remaining under the company. The board still includes Ålanders to preserve strict local residency rights. Previous Russian visitors in 2023 reportedly included Jevgeni Vasilev, an employee of the Russian CPAIS think tank with close Kremlin ties, who stayed at Kökar and maintained contact with Sandvikin board member Oskar Karlström. Vasilev and Karlström had multiple interactions since. The Russian group had travel difficulties near Åland and were assisted by Finnish Coast Guard. CPAIS is an organization led by Svyatoslav Andrianov, linked to high Kremlin officials. The article clarifies that the board member Oskar Karlström is a different person from a Turku University professor of the same name. Anton Weg's business activities include property investment companies in Finland and Germany, some previously marketing to Russians. The Finnish Defence Ministry permit was not required for the transaction since it involves a dual citizen.
