Controlling the Baltics -- Politics in the Baltics -- Economics in the Baltics -- Daily life in the Baltics -- The challenges ahead.
Summary:
The Soviet Union occupied the Baltic nations for decades. This resulted in disasters such as catastrophic shortages of food; suppression of Baltic languages, religions, and customs; and the terrors of forced labor camps. With the Soviet Unions collapse, the Baltics gained independence and have become vibrant members of the European community. .
