Russian music critic Artemy Troitsky has bought the property in Tallinn. Estonian newspaper Eesti Paevaleht reported that he had applied for a residence permit, but Troitsky denied the rumors about running away from Russia, writes ee24.com.
The media indicated the reason for moving as "hysterical atmosphere of militarism and aggression" and "war propaganda" in Russia. Meanwhile, Artemy Troitsky has not confirmed this information. According to his words, he is not going to leave Russia, but due to his work as professor at Tallinn University he will be forced to visit Estonia more often.
