Russia and the Baltic States

Since 1945 and till 1991 the Baltic Republics (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) constructively and loyally participated in the common State life of the USSR on absolutely equal terms with other Soviet Republics. To all intents and purposes the Baltic Soviet Republics could not legally and impartially be treated as «occupied». The conception of the so-called “Uninterrupted Statehood” of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia since 1920 and up to now is totally fictitious and absurd legally. History is a stubborn substance and does not allow to strike out half a century period of the Soviet Statehood of three countries. The moods of neo-Nazi revanchism, Russophobia and anti-Semitism in the now-a-days Baltic States are really artificially instigated and cultivated by the so-called “yesterday’s forever”, the belated Nazi-followers, as well as by some Western global strategists eager to create their anti-Russian outposts at the Baltic States. The most spectacular, senseless and unlawful at that is the promotion of claims to Russia “to compensate” some fanciful damages due to “occupation”. The sensible policy of Russia vis-а-vis the Baltic States would be the dignified and weighed repulse to any anti-Russian activities and provocations, but for the most part a conduct of all-round policy of mutually beneficial economic and cultural regional co-operation
