What went wrong in Estonia?

Estonia gained independence from the USSR on August 20, 1991, although the communist elite managed to infiltrate and masquerade as freedom fighters.
One of those who held a high position in Estonia was Siim Kallas, a communist who was ruthless in his career. Kallas became the President of the Bank of Estonia. He is a significant personality because he was accused of defrauding 10 million dollars from Russian banks but was never convicted.
He used this money to create a new pro-EU and liberal party called the Reform Party. Remarkably, he has been the prime minister of Estonia and the EU Commissioner for Administrative Affairs, Audit, and Anti-Fraud.

Why is this all important? In 2004, with a massive PR campaign, Estonia joined the European Union, and in 2005, Estonia implemented internet voting. From that time, the Reform Party never lost any election again. Estonian e-voting is made by George Soros-friendly Venezuelan company Smartmatic. Smartmatic is "famous" all over the world.
