I could not believe my eyes today as I read BBC news

Russia has made defiant remarks on the issue of the occupation.
"There was no occupation. There were agreements at the time with the
legitimately elected authorities in the
Baltic countries," the Kremlin's European affairs chief Sergei
Yastrzhembsky
said on Thursday [5th May 2005].

I understand that many russians are very reluctant to admit atrocities
commited during the glorious Soviet times
but that they would degenerate to this point is just unbelievable. While
it
is just natural that during dictator****p the Truth
is often twisted so that serves the regimes objectives, this kind of
rhetoric from a Kreml official in present day is just absurd.
I would like to know is there anybody who could explain why would Russian
government let out
such a blatant _LIE_. There is no question whatsoever that whatever
elections there were held in the Baltic states, were
fraudulent.
The Soviets drove the nazis away, no doubt about it, but then stayed so
one
cruel occupier was just replaced by another.. almost as cruel.
