ENIn May Moscow will celebrate seventieth anniversary of its victory in WW II. But for Baltic countries this meant that the collapse of one totalitarian regime has brought another one. Thus Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia commemorate another dates - those that are closer to their experiences. One of such dates is June 15 when theSoviet occupation began and was eventually followed by mass terror - killings, deportations, enforced emigration. As we all know Moscow broke bilateral agreements in those days and the feeling of insecurity lasted for decades, thus it is natural that recent actions of eastern neibhor strengthened the old fears and insecurities in the region.
