[quote=Anonymous]You are breathtakingly, exhaustingly uninformed. "I do consider the Baltic states within their sphere of influence"??????? Ok..lets give the Russian Bear back the CR, Slovakia, former Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania....
Are you blooming kidding me??????????
The Baltic states are small, but they were different kingdoms, different people, different ethnic groups, different languages (Lithuanian is one of the oldest indo European languages related to Sanskrit).
They were overrun by Nazis, then by the Soviets, subjugated, denied language rights, denied identity, hung on through fierce peaceful resistance and finally gained freedom.and self determination with the fall of the wall.
Somehow they have worked with, not slaughtered the Russians who moved there over fifty years and who had held the upper hand socially and politically for so long. somehow they rebuilt into vibrant little countries aligned with Europe because for fifty years all they dreamed of was what the best of democracy represents - freedom and self - determination. 
They not only have little in common with Russia, they have more in common with Scandinavia culturally and Europe ideologically. 
They are former animists/ currently Catholics...
