Russia ruled the Three Kingdoms for 200 years. Russia assimilated local people through immigration and other means, which was strongly resisted by the three countries. After World War I, the three countries used the Russian October Revolution to gain independence. Unexpectedly, the three countries were only independent for more than 20 years, and were once again occupied by the Soviet Union during World War II.
The Soviet Union forced the three Baltic countries to sign a bilateral mutual assistance treaty, allowing the Soviet Union to establish military bases on the land of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. After 1, the Soviet Union directly occupied these three countries, accused them of plotting against the Soviet Union, and then issued an ultimatum to them. Faced with the strong military pressure of the Soviet Union, the weak three countries had to yield and then allowed the Soviet Red Army to enter unimpeded.
During the Soviet occupation, thousands of Estonians were exiled, arrested and killed. It's cruel to think about such a picture. So how can the three countries not hate the Soviet Union?
The Soviet Union occupied Latvia and held illegal elections with only one party. The election results show that Latvia voluntarily joined the Soviet Union. Latvia officially became a part of the Soviet Union, and all Latvians became Soviet citizens. Later, thousands of Latvians were stuffed into stuffy tankers, sent to Siberia and put into death camps. In addition, Soviet occupation forces also arrested, searched and confiscated property in Latvia. This kind of hatred, this kind of resentment, everyone will remember it for a lifetime, and it is light to say hate.
