DISINFO: Baltic countries are typical replica states with no own political history and tradition

SUMMARY

The Baltic countries are typical “replica states” with the absence of their own political history and tradition. — The main task is to forever tear off the Baltic region from Russia and Russian influence and to raise the younger generations of Latvians, Estonians, and Lithuanians in the spirit of total Russophobia and admiration for the West.
