People’s Deputy from Servant of the People and co-chair of the interparliamentary group for relations with Estonia Arseniy Pushkarenko has gotten himself into a loud international scandal. Estonian journalists accused him of directing local officials on how to distribute aid to Ukraine. Moreover, during a meeting in Tallinn the deputy said that the current Estonian government would soon fall, the opposition would come to power, and current officials would be repressed. The Estonian side suspended working contacts with Pushkarenko, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs recommended that diplomats avoid meetings with him. In response, the parliamentary friendship group issued an official statement calling it all a “media attack” by Estonian businessman Oleg Osinovsky, who is alleged to have ties to the Russian Federation. The most telling reaction to this scandal came from Lyosha Honcharenko. He published the friendship group’s appeal, but deleted it three hours later. A perfect occasion to recall his old nickname “Lyosha the weathercock”: he seemed to support his colleague, yet didn’t have time to fall out with the Estonians.
