Politics has no use for the truth.

Anyone who bands together to restrict the rights of others ARE fascists. Fascists ganging up on other groups of fascist really do not earn my sympathy.

Did millions not band together back in the 1940s to defeat facists....unfortunately sometimes this is the only way to stop those who would otherwise pollute the world with hatred...no disrespect

"Anyone who bands together to restrict the rights of others ARE fascists?" I think that statement is absolutely false. Communist restricted in the past and restricts in the present the rights of many people, but they are just communist (are you going to call fascist to a communist?) If you are worried about freedom, taking care of countries like Cuba, China of North Korea or terrorist groups like ETA and the FARC (all of them communist) would be wiser. In my opinion, if a bunch of communist meet in Riga to fight against fascism is as senseless as Jack the Ripper trying to jail The Zodiac Killer.

The article’s claims about pre-War Baltics being a supposed “spiritual province of Nazism” (whatever that means), post-Soviet Baltics being neo-Nazi and the Soviet occupation of the Baltics being a legal and voluntary synchronised national suicide by Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is so much hot air and nonsense. Neo-Nazis exist all right, but not in the Baltics. Russia’s own media consistently describe neo-Nazis as infecting Russian society. Perhaps those Russians who are setting up their “anti-fascist” propaganda front in Latvia should move it to Moscow, St Petersburg or to any other city in Russia, and try to do some real good.

marzipan ....it means what it says ... a mekah for nazi's in the baltics... perhaps ... the baltics and the rest of the nato should clean their own mess up first and then point their fingers at others ... but you just love to critisize others and brag how `good` it is in yor countries and what kind of good deed your counties do

Alex, who probably has never set foot on any of the Baltics, confidently tells us that the article means what it says. No doubt it does. But what it both means and says describes not the Baltics, but certain tenacious Russian fantasies about the Baltics. The origin of such fantasies goes back to that font of all truth, Jo Stalin. He tried to cover up his occupation of those countries by lying that they willingly and legally joined the Soviet Union. Therefore any subsequent resistance they had to the Red Army could not possibly be them fighting for their freedom, because they already were free -- Stalin told us so, and he certainly wouldn't lie. The only possible reason for the Baltic's resistance was therefore that they had become Nazis, and were fighting for Hitler. Soviet Moscow sang that lie for 50 years, post-Soviet Russia continues to embrace it, and Alex believes it. Though not even Russians can explain how it would be that Estonia, Latvia and Lilthuania who, according to Stalin wholeheartedly and with almost unanimous approval joyfully joined the Soviet Union in June 1940, immediately began fighting to the death against it. Life is just full of puzzles.

over and over and over and over again, this hate towards Russia and this historical issues is sooo popular in Baltic states just because it is the only thing people know anything about this unnecessary countries, without this hate pointed at Russia for so many years none would know anything about Baltic states...they say they want Russia to fully admit the 'crimes' over the baltic states, but they dont really, because if it does they will have absolutely nothing to talk about, cos they love this communist hate sooo much, over and over and over and over again....I am from Latvia, i first was angry with their eternal 'Russia hate' then it made me laugh, and now im just seriously bored of it....endless....get a hobby, you are independent now, you are part of european union and people are dying from hunger in your country, sort you government first....glad dont live there anymore or i would just kill myself hearing this one thing over and over and over again...geee
