In spring 2026, Anton Weg (formerly Anton Kudryavtsev), a Finnish-Russian dual citizen, took ownership of Sandvik Gästhamn och Camping on Kökar, Åland. He became chairman of Sandvik Hällor AB on May 14, 2026. The company's board includes local resident Oskar Karlström, who has documented contacts with Evgeniy Vasilev, a Russian affiliated with CPAIS (Center for Political Analysis and Information Security), an organization assessed to have close Kremlin ties. Vasilev and CPAIS director Svyatoslav Andrianov have jointly traveled around the Baltic Sea region and Europe. Finnish legislation restricting Russian property acquisitions does not apply on Åland, and no new ownership or land acquisition permissions were sought by the Åland government as only company shares changed hands, not real estate. The Finnish Border Guard is aware of the ownership change but has no evidence of illegal activity. The case raises concerns due to the strategic location of the campground, the hybrid warfare context after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and ties of involved individuals to pro-Kremlin entities. Statements from involved parties are limited or evasive. Ålands Radio highlights these issues amid escalating security concerns in Europe regarding Russian hybrid operations.
