15th Estonian Parliament, 5th session, plenary sitting
The political focus is on limiting the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) in Estonia, strongly supporting a draft bill that obligates religious institutions to bring their subordination relationships into compliance with Estonian laws. This position is value-based, emphasizing the necessity of not submitting to the leadership of an aggressor and war criminal (Patriarch Kirill). The speaker views the legal amendment as a means to protect Estonian Orthodox believers from the ideology of the "Russkiy Mir" (Russian World).
