Cold war mentality, America has it as well and you can see it in some of the politicians, the ex-soviet states will of course be the ones worse affected by it because they were the ones who got invaded by Stalin.

Italian ex-MEP arrested, kicked out of Estonia & called Russian ‘agent of influence’
http://rt.com/news/215339-chiesa-arrest-estonia-italy/
I watched TV interview with him. He made several interesting points:
1. Estonian authorities arrested him without charging him with anything or presenting him with any papers.
2. He was thrown into an isolated windowless cell with the light held constantly on.
3. He could count at least 10 European laws that Estonia violated, including human rights, freedom of speech, journalist's rights, judicial procedures. Estonia basically arrested him at a hotel, after he was cleared at border control, and threw him out of his home - Europe, by sending him to Russia. He is going to follow up on all those accounts in court.
4. When the interviewer asked him, if the treatment of him reminded of the Soviet Union's fight with dissent ("бopьбa c инaкoмыcлиeм"), he said yes, it did, in present-day Europe.
5. He said that EU is built upon cooperation and forgiveness (making Germany as an example), and that cooperation with Russia is needed for Europe. The fact that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland joined EU to pursue their own vengeful policies, makes them not European countries. (I read an analyst calling those countries for US' trojan horses in EU)
There were a couple of similar cases with Russian academics and human right activists that got turned at Latvian border control, even though they had Schengen visas... In those cases the banned participants still managed to hold their speeches at the conferences through telepresence.

Journalist and former European Parliament member, Giulietto Chiesa of Italy, was detained by the Tallinn police due to his pro-Russian views, which make him a threat to Estonia’s national security, the country’s Foreign Ministry told RT in an e-mail.
