Because i'm interested why intelligent person (gotta be intelligent if
you're high official in Kreml)
speaks out a lie like that. Does he really believe that himself or was it
meant to be somekind of provocation?
I'm not trying to point out every evil deed USSR did, but insted focusing
to
find out is that official and un-official truth in Russia
that Balts WANTED in free will join the Soviet Union?

I believe the reason for WW2 was because Britain and France humiliated and
robbed Germany in the Versailles treaty.
They actually blamed Germany for the WW1 which was of course total crap:
there was no single country guilty for that war.
I think the British and French are hypocrites while they are just as
guilty
for BOTH wars as the Germans.

Why do want to swallow everything in just one huge mouthful? You sound
like
a fanatic muslim with your black and white thinking.
Would you agree with this one:
"okay USSR did crush the nazis, which was good thing, and did take couple
of
little countries like the Baltics by force, which was a bad thing".?

Nope, West wants Russia to be strong and healthy. But what it wants even
more is Russia to ASSIMILATE. West wants you to become western.
West wants you all to have cars and fridges and electronic toothbrushes
and
mobile phones and you to eat at MacDonalds.
