Quite shocking for some to believe, but sadly quite true.
Only as a tourist, I've visited both Estonia and Lithuania, and I was quite shocked by some of the things I saw there, particularly the holocaust museum in Vilnius, Lithuania.
One picture in particular burned into my memory was of the Nazi forces being received as liberators, almost identical to a scene from Paris with the Allied forces, with flowers being handed out etc. but for the swastika's.
Paint me naive, but it really had a profound impact on me.
In plain numbers, the Soviets deported/disappeared more people than the Nazis. This is not to say that the Nazi's did not carry out their own holocaust; I believe they put nearly the entire Estonian Jewish population in the gas chambers in the few years of occupation they were there. Nevertheless, it's less lives lost than the under the Soviets.
The British have offered a helping hand in Estonian independence on several occasions, and they should continue to be supported.
Russians living in the Baltic region will probably be a problem for some years/generations to come, but at the end of the day they have to accept what Soviet occupation meant for Estonia.
another country that officially havens and helps terrorists, no other country would allow such thing.
) I hope this claim is not true... Anyway there is no use denying the site is certainly biased and the information there cannot be called objective.
