@Hans S No, it's different. What USSR had before was Stalin's power hungry "communism". Many ideas such as gulags and countless repressions weren't written in the manifesto, and rather, any blockage of freedom to communists was opposed. Problem was that it's simply wasn't achievable with peaceful ways. An ideology that on paper sounds amazing but in practice is basically impossible to achieve.

Pēteris Zvirgzdiņš They actually put up the biggest fight in Lithuania out of all Baltic States. They came close to freeing all of their country territory and wrote a pact of independence.
Much respect and love for the ladies and gentlemen who risked and gave their lives fighting the good fight. For those many who passed, may they rest in peace. You remain in our hearts. We will never forget you, Forest brothers and the sisters that provided much support to the cause of freedom.
Reaction to this from the Russians is funny because it shows how clearly schizophrenic they are: on the one side, they claim that they broke up with the Soviet legacy yet they clearly defend it fiercely, on the one side they claim Soviet Union was international and not just Russian, yet they take every criticism of the USSR VERY personaly. Also typical is that when you speak about Katyn or some Soviet occupation or massacres, Russians are always like "it was not us Russians, it was the SOVIETS, it was collective responsibility", but when its about Space programme, Soviet sports or victory in WW2, suddenly they claim EVERYTHING Soviet was in fact Russian.
Much like they desperately cling to their lies that the Soviet occupation was voluntary... They pretend they didn't invade and occupy, instead Putler has changed their history books to say these countries voted to 'join'
@@TheInfamousMrFox Where is the lie? I am sure there is a decision of the Supreme Soviets of the Baltic states to join the USSR somewhere. Lithuania even gained its capital city from Soviet conquests. They have nothing to moan about.
My grandad brother Stanislovas was a forest brother and died in 1953 near small lituanian city Meskuiciai. In this battle against soviet NKVD troops died 18 lithuanian patriots. Rest in peace, heroes.
@@user-rh3pe7um8d truth,,,but they never used gorrila warfare and latvian forests are close to jungle in some places .......we all know what happened in vietnam
Lithuania and Baltic countries NEVER wanted to be a part of the Soviet Union. The US never recognized occupation and never gave our gold to Soviets. Out terrain was unlucky to rage a war convenient to small the resistance of small populations.
Respect from Sweden! We haven't been involved in a war for a long time, but would stand alongside our neighbors to the east if the time comes! #Baltics #Nordics #BaltoScandia
Thank you! And Sweden was very helpful in other ways. Even though we have much respect from Finland - if you fled from USSR to Finland, you would be given back to USSR. That didn’t happen in Sweden and that’s why it was so important to get to Sweden.
As an Estonian this is very important, I believe more people should know about these heroes to their country, true patriots willing to fight til their dying breath.
Do the Baltic countries have a military alliance? Or do you consider that a detriment? Wishing you 1000 years of peace and independence, it's been paid for.
Didn't know about forrest brothers until now. We in Czechia (and Slovakia) know what it feels like to struggle with communist "liberators" (Prague spring 1968). Glory to forrest brothers.
My uncle was expelled from university because then was Prague spring he with other students protesting in Kaunas second largest city in Lithuania, he was taken by KGB. So in Lithuania we all so fight for your freedom, after he was expelled he must go to work in live in small village in collective farm (they broke his life) in village for city boy was a big punishment he was 51 years old then he died from cancer and everyone knows what it’s starts from protest
I was in Latvia three times, and i can say, Latvians are a stout and proud people , and they have every right to be proud, dealing with so much shit and still stand as a nation! I hope Latvia will be peosperous and free for a long time! Greetings from Holland!!!!
actually the last forest brothers were 12 men 3 from estonia 9 from lithuania they came out 1975 and ur lying bcz they couldnt fight so long it was impossible 1991 was the year we got our freedom

Fight them. The hungry Russians will not stop.

But Russians tell the story, that Baltics "joined" voluntarily with the USSR. one big BS story from communists.

Yes, because talking about anti-communist ideas would get you imprisoned, deported or killed under the soviet occupation.
