Who's really to blame for Tallinn's War Memorial riots?

I think that Nashi makes Russians look exceptionally dumb.
I mean Estonian President Toomas Hendrik Ilves was personally against moving the memorial.
And now they want him banned for supporting the removal?
That's doesn't make any sense. Can't Nashi even get these simple things straight?
This monument was moved long ago and much of the related tension has been vented off by both the local Russians and Estonians. However, this very monument stills seems to be an issue for Russian media, RT included. Please note that this is case is just about a monument being moved not removed or blown up, which happened to be the common practice with incoming Russian troops in the 1940s. Times change and monuments alike.
Estonia is such a small country on the world political map that Russia should be able to overlook the things that it does not particularly appreciate in the interest of the statehood and credibility among other great countries. The present foreign policy is that of a country that is big but not necessarily great.
