    The USSR tortured and murdered Estonians and Latvians during it's half-century rule. Modern Estonia and Latvia have a large, aggressive, local power next door, with a recent history of massacre and genocide. And a longer history of imperialism towards it's neighbours. That's why Finland still has national service. Communism has a different meaning & history.

      These the Estonians and Latvians that collaborated with Nazi Germany? The ones that are being honoured by current day fascist governments in Latvia and Estonia who have outlawed Communist parties and pursued a racist policy toward ethnic Russians?

        The ones that were repressed by the Soviet invasion, then repressed by the Nazi invasion, then repressed again by the Soviets? Yeah them. Put down the political essays and pick up a history book.
