Maybe she should speak Estonian natively.

  There are large portions of Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania where the mother tongue is Russian. Some folks over 45 may not even speak the local language, and may not need to. Most of the younger people would be bilingual (or more commonly tri), though. Lots of people in Moldova speak Russian bilingual too. Russian is commonly spoken in Kazakhstan - even Russian courses in the universities. Overall for many Russian is a decent choice to have a produce localized to or search for information in general. Like in your case - compare it to Estonian where the native speakers are fewer than 1.5 million (even, when you include all age groups) - a lot smaller market, harder to localize due to lack of translators, etc.
