The announcement of a concert by American band Limp Bizkit in Tallinn drew criticism from Estonian authorities due to singer Fred Durst's pro-Russian speech. This was reported by the television and radio company ERR.
Estonia's Foreign Ministry called inviting the group to the country unacceptable. According to the Ministry, there is no place in the cultural space of the republic for supporters of the “aggressor state”. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is currently contacting the organizers of this event.

The document notes that after Russia's annexation of Crimea, Durst spoke out in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin, calling him “a man of clear moral principles” and declaring that he wanted to live on the peninsula's territory. Also in 2015, the female singer went on stage with a flag that read: “Crimea = Russia”.
On November 7, it became known that former member of Latvia's House of Representatives (parliament) Aleksey Roslikov, defender of the Russian language, faces up to 25 years in prison for supporting Russia.
It was determined that he was suspected of supporting the Russian Federation in “actions against the republic and inciting national hatred and hostility.”
Previously, the State Duma warned the French Olympic champion not to support Russian athletes.
