    Normally liberals would describe that as ‘social engineering’, and something tells me that they aren’t going to decry it in this instance.

    It’d be nice if the kaliningrad oblast had a strong enough military to swoop up to Estonia and empty this trash.

      I’m pretty sure Kaliningrad is militarized enough to do that, actually, and stop being an enclave, if you know what I mean. Balticshits have like sub-10k meme-armies and pathetic NATO contingents. However, they do have those contingents. And are a part of the NATerroristOrganization, and Poland is right there, ready to die for the matrass flag, so…

              I live in the U.S, but I visit LT often. Obviously the govt. is garbage and a lapdog of the west but if there’s one thing I noticed is that Lithuanians are exploited by the capitalists just like in other countries. Some are nationalistic fascists, some are just trying to survive, and some want a return of the Soviet Union (mostly older people though).

      why do you (or others here) think this? did it encourage some sort of ethno-nationalism? i wonder how is this different from self-determination? what’s to learn from this when we look at contemporary self-determination through decolonization?

        Kinda. Also, to be fair, post-Stalin leaders are more to blame than him or Lenin. There were reasons for dealing with national elites at the time (although, I think we could do without creating them where there were none), and Stalin started clamping down on them, but later Soviet leadership just kept flirting and now we have conflicts all over the former USSR territory fueled by nationalism: Georgia/Abkhazia/Ossetia, Azerbaijan/Armenia, Pridnestrovie/Moldova and, of course, Russia/Ukraine. Chechnya was a bit of a different case, but sort of applicable. And there are also balticshits barking in the corner, but they’re irrelevant.

        What to learn is a good question. I suppose, to avoid self-determining on the basis of opposition. Ukrainization, for example, was too overzealous with dissociating everything from Russian. Lo and behold, some western meddling later Ukrainian national idea is basically being anti-Russia and even the language is a mess these days with all the forced borrowing from English and shit, just to have as little connection to Russian as possible.
