Why do the Baltic States hate Russians?

This video explores the Soviet Union's occupation of the Baltic States in 1940, following the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The regime implemented policies to suppress national identity and imposed Soviet ideology, deporting and imprisoning thousands. Resistance movements emerged, but the Soviet Union maintained control until 1991. The occupation left a lasting impact on the region, but the Baltic States have since regained their independence and become members of the European Union and NATO. Join us to learn about this complex period in history.
