re: #7 000G

I am thinking that some of this may also have to do with anticommunist resentment coupled with tough economic times; such nationalism usually lends itself more easily to nazism. Also Soviet occupation/annexation went on for a lot longer than German, so perhaps it overshadowed the popular memory a bit.

But yes, no matter how you spin it: It’s ugly.

All is true, this is a backlash. And that being backlash doesn’t excuse it. They’re rewriting history to say that USSR did “genocide” in the Baltics, although it did no such thing by the Convention definition (there was no provable intent to destroy in whole in part the Baltic ethnic groups). Then they use those “genocide” claims to offset the very real genocide perpetrated by the Nazis.
