    it seems they have designed carve-outs for this purpose, although ymmv

    Exceptions to the rule include:

    • Russian embassy employees and their family members working in Estonia;
    • Employees directly involved in the transportation of goods and passengers;
    • Those who have the right to freedom of movement under EU law;
    • People visiting close relatives;
    • People entering for humanitarian reasons.

    personally i don’t see why you need to pass a law like this but, i suppose i’m not estonian

      Also I am not Estonian.

      Personally I can imagine different cases. There are Russians fleeing who strongly oppose Putin and his war. Even just normal people who would like to get away from sanctions, or can’t toerlate life in a country like Russia in general. I don’t have an issue with such people, but then there are possibly also wealthy/corrupt Russians who are good with Putin but just want to enjoy themselves in Europe while normal Russians suffer under sanctions. I would not want to let those people travel.
