A Russian and Finnish dual citizen, Anton Weg (formerly Kudryavtsev), purchased the Sandvik Hällor guest marina company located on Kökar Island in Åland in May 2023. Weg is an entrepreneur involved in real estate and hospitality business in Helsinki and Berlin. He is now chairman of Sandvik Hällor AB's board. The board also includes Oskar Karlström, who reportedly has connections to Russian individuals linked to the Kremlin-affiliated think tank CPAIS. Evgeniy Vasilevi, a Russian national tied to CPAIS, has spent time on Kökar and is connected with CPAIS leadership. Finnish border control is aware of the transaction but has found no criminal suspicion, although maritime events are monitored. The purchase raises security concerns due to Åland's specific regional laws which create loopholes allowing such transactions despite Finnish tightened restrictions on Russian nationals' property acquisitions. The strategic location of Sandvik guest marina and camping area on Kökar adds to the security sensitivity. The matter should be reviewed carefully considering Åland's autonomous governance and possible hybrid threat implications from Russian interests.
