I think in general your description of poverty rates and low wages is a perfect description of Estonia ~10 years ago, but nowadays I think it's actually a bit different. Poverty rates have seriously decreased, wages have gone up quite quickly every year, and construction workers are making quite good money within Estonia, etc. (To be fair though, the inflation from the past year has hurt people a lot)
Are you Estonian by any chance?
I completely agree with you, especially regarding the "Baltics are Nazis" thing - I think it's completely messed up. At least in Estonia, there are three very distinct kinds of people that regularly get called Nazis by foreigners (mostly by Russian media):
Basically all Estonians belong to the third group (as discussed elsewhere in this thread), so it's actually scary when Russian media lumps these people in with literal Nazi sympathisers. I don't think Estonia can do anything to effectively combat this propaganda either - Russian media is fucking powerful.
