Estonian feds now have showed up to my flat in Tallinn, complete with an official search warrant, reiterating the reasoning being having the black-star SACP flag on my balcony since January, me having taken a photo with it in the border city of Narva on Victory Day (with the flag subsequently seized for criminal evidence) and "possession of possible extremist paraphernalia". As expected, they found nothing in violation of the law if possessed in private, but documented the multitude of USSR and Palestinian memorabilia (Ushanka, Red Army officer overcoat, Lenin banner, USSR flag, rolled-up South African and Palestinian flags, Keffiyehs, a Palestine sash, EFF beret and a large collection of books), likely to be used as evidence for who-the-fuck-knows. Of course, yet another pat-down too.

Apparently also the police have received complaints of me having this flag on my balcony from residents of adjacent apartment buildings since early January, only choosing to respond in early May. They still call it a "Soviet/Russian Federation/pro-Putinist" flag with zero nuance or context. The police in Tallinn are also waiting for the police in Narva to ship the confiscated flag to continue criminal proceedings. Plenty of liberal drivel to also deal with such as "7 October this and Hamas that, Soviet occupation of Estonia, mass starvation and gulags, Putin's genocide, Kremlin apologia, etc.", your typical "R*edditor/uKKKraine flag in bio" slop, really. The only irony was that the officers had "forgotten" their "Slava uKKKraine" patches. One of the cops also even called me a "traitor to my country" and a terrorist.

So it is confirmed true that I'm the first person to be politically persecuted for expressing support for the South African Communist Party in 32 years since the end of Apartheid, while in a "country" that freely allows the display of Banderite/blood-and-soil and even Azov flags in demonstrations.

Do you have a lawyer or is this a situation where it wouldn't help you because you live in fascist hell

Probably both honestly. On one hand this is a fascist hell and even hopping to another EU country wouldn't help much since they all collaborate with the feds, even the based ones.

On the other hand, people in that one Palestine solidarity group "Palestonia" and the country's only leftist party "Vasakliit", which many in said group are members of, have had to deal with feds prior and are aiding me in seeking an attorney. Ideally one who is fluent in both Estonian and English.
