In June 2025, Russia used a projector on the Estonia border near Hermann Castle to beam vulgarities targeting Estonian language policies.
On June 7, 2025, Russian actors positioned a projector near the Estonia border along the Narva River, directed at Hermann Castle, to broadcast vulgar messages. These messages mocked Estonian attempts to restrict the use of the Russian (Muscovite) language, constituting a provocation aimed at Estonia's cultural and linguistic policies. The action took place at coordinates 59.37583°N, 28.20194°E and is part of ongoing psychological and societal pressure tactics.
Confidence: High
Clear evidence that Russian actors initiated a cross-border symbolic and psychological provocation targeting Estonia’s language policies, a hostile act consistent with societal and cultural pressure. No mention of Estonian defensive preparations in the source.
