🇱🇻🇱🇹🇪🇪 In 2023, discrimination of Russian and Russian-speaking population in the Baltic States continued. Simultaneously, fascist collaborators and criminals were openly cherished and honoured.
#Latvia
Latvia pursues a policy of deliberate falsification of history, justifying former Waffen-SS legionnaires and Nazi collaborators who are elevated to the rank of participants in "national liberation movements".
The longstanding revanchist aspirations of the Latvian establishment culminated in Riga's efforts to rewrite history by passing legislation prohibiting the celebration of 9 May, the public display of symbols of victory over Nazism.
Since 2022, Latvia, riding a wave of ultra-nationalist enthusiasm, have intensified their efforts to destroy Soviet monuments.
Russian residents of Latvia are viewed by the Latvian leadership as an alien and destabilizing element.
#Lithuania
Vilnius explicitly pursues a policy of falsifying the history of WWII and equating Nazi collaborators with national heroes, which contradicts the conclusions of the Nuremberg Tribunal.
Following an impulse of historical revisionism, in 2022 the Lithuania set a course to demolish all the monuments to Soviet soldiers located at the burial sites of Red Army soldiers.
Since the beginning of the Russian special military operation Lithuania has taken its efforts to denigrate everything related to Russia to an unprecedented level.
#Estonia
Since 2022 the Estonia openly took the path of supporting Nazism and glorifying its accomplices.
Attempts to glorify Nazi accomplices, which have become an integral part of state policy, are directly related to the increased manifestations of anti-Semitism and the desecration of monuments to Soviet soldiers.
Along with this fight against Soviet monuments, the total censorship created in the country is primarily directed against Russian state and private media resources.
The infringement of the rights of national minorities in Estonia, primarily Russian-speaking, remains an acute problem.

⚡️ On the human rights situation in the Baltic states — Joint Report of Russia's and Belarus' MFAs
#Latvia
❌ Latvia is deliberately falsifying history and justification of former Waffen-SS legionnaires and Nazi collaborators.
The pinnacle of many years of revanchist aspirations of the Latvian leadership and the result of many years of efforts by Riga to rewrite history was the legislative enshrinement of bans on celebrating May 9, in fact, outlawing Victory Day.
Latvian authorities intensified their efforts to destroy memorials in honour of the Red Army soldiers, providing a legislative basis for their actions.
Along with this, a course has been taken to exclude all Russians from public life and to defeat the rights of the Russian-speaking inhabitants of this Baltic country.
#Lithuania
❌ The human rights situation in Lithuania continues to deteriorate. The country remains to be distinct in numerous restrictions to free opinions, discrimination of national minorities, primarily in the area of education, manifestations of xenophobia and antisemitism, persecution for policy and other reasons as well as glorification of Nasizm and rabid Russophobia.
Vilnius openly pursues a policy of falsifying the history of World War II and glorifies fascist collaborators, treating them as national heroes.
Lithuanian authorities have taken on unprecedented efforts to denigrate everything related to Russia. As a result, incidents of Russophobia and discrimination against people of Russian origin have become more frequent.
#Estonia
❌ The human rights situation in the Republic of Estonia remains extremely disturbing.
The current Estonian authorities continue pursuing a consistent policy of building a mono ethnic society, which has no place for national minorities, especially the Russian-speaking population.
Estonian authorities started suppressing any manifestations of Russian ethnic and cultural identity.
Estonia's efforts to suppress Russian activists struggling to preserve the memory of the heroic deeds of the Red Army soldiers who fought against Nazism, make it clear that the country has embarked on a campaign of supporting neo-Nazism and re-writing its history during the World War II and subsequent period.
Attempts to glorify Nazi accomplices, which have become an integral part of state policy, are directly related to the increased manifestations of anti-Semitism and cases of desecration of monuments to Soviet soldiers who perished on the territory of Estonia in battles with the Nazi invaders.
