Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia ask the German media not to call them former Soviet republics

100
Lithuanian, Latvian and Estonian ambassadors asked the heads of the German media not to name the countries they represent as former Soviet (allied) republics. Such an appeal by the Baltic ambassadors decided to make after the publication in German "Zeit Online" of the material "The Legacy of the Soviet Union", which described the three Baltic states.

From the joint letter of the Baltic ambassadors:
The Baltic countries in the USSR turned out to be against their will. Occupation and annexation took place. Most Western countries, including Germany, did not recognize the occupation of the Baltic countries. The Baltic countries were not created from scratch after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but regained their independence, interrupted during the occupation.




Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia ask the German media not to call them former Soviet republics


From all this, the only statement that can be called objective is the statement that the Baltic countries were not created from scratch after the collapse of the USSR. Indeed, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have a huge amount of baggage, both economic and sociocultural, as an inheritance. After all, it was during the time when the three republics were part of the USSR, where they officially entered according to the decision of their own authorities (unlike, for example, Finland, which decided to resist), their economic, demographic, industrial and other potentials increased tenfold, turning territories from the real backwater to the showcase of a huge country. But after the end of the “Soviet occupation”, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, due to their Russophobic policy, again turn into a backwater - already in the outskirts of the European Union. A provincial population that is losing population and constantly requires loans for survival.

The representatives of the Baltic States are asking the media not to call their countries "former Soviet republics", against the background of their own stories Looks utterly absurd.

    And what will change if they don't call it that? The attitude as it was to the Baltic states in Europe below the plinth will remain. Or so with greater dignity are the toilets cleaned?

      The Balts have survived "occupation and annexation". After the collapse of the USSR, they immediately ran to another union, called the European one. Question: where is their pride and independence? In the USSR, they were the showcase of the country, in the EU, they were a backwater.

              A similar appeal of the ambassadors of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia to the German media, only says that the historical truth about the period of the allegedly “occupational” stay of these countries as part of the USSR hits the Baltic states in the “face”!

        In the USSR, they were full-fledged republics, and now they are returning to the agrarian past! Well then, this is their choice! Now there will be three farms!

        The Balts survived the "occupation and annexation" therefore, "joining" the EU, they were marked by the installation of a monument to the fallen girl. After all, they wanted to go to Europe, but Europe came to them, to get pleasure, that's an ambush ..

        No. Just the former. This reflects their present, and even brighter and more truly - the near future. Just a former tribaltic. Nobody in the whole world distinguishes them from each other. And when they go to look for happiness and work on the border (any), it is ridiculous to think that there they will speak their Estonian about their great culture, sing and read poetry. Their children already will not know and hear this language (at all) due to its uselessness in another world. We can assume that they ended there. Former, in a word.

      That's right, do not call them that! The Soviet republics, prosperous and industrially developing - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, cannot be compared with the bending, impoverished territories that are Europe's sloppy needy in its backyards, which, by some malicious intent, have the same names - Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia!

            Everything is really not bad for me, although I live, perhaps, in Tallinn for the second year already half in the position of a tourist. Tallinn has not only a center, I live in a Soviet-built residential area - outwardly it looks more well-groomed than any other micro-district that I have seen so far. Renovated building facades. Mowed lawns in the courtyards of simple Soviet high-rise buildings, cleared snow on the paths. In general, when I came here from Ukraine for the first time, I was very surprised at how unusually well-groomed everything here is. The local standard is 2 cars for a working, I emphasize, a working family. There are really not many people on the street, a lot of old people. Prices are certainly high but moderately high. There are Ukrainian "migrant workers" here.

            As for washing toilets and people of the second grade:
            Local diplomas are recognized throughout the EU. In addition, citizens have the opportunity to study at any European university (for example, in Germanni, and if I am not mistaken in Holland, there is a free higher education). Also, citizens have the opportunity to legally work in any country in Europe. Ukrainians, for example, very often work in unskilled jobs abroad illegally. Estimates at the beginning of 2000 indicated numbers from 4 to 7 million Ukrainians who were "in earnings". 7 million is by eye a third of the working population of Ukraine.

            + stable currency + banks giving loans at normal interest rates. Shopping centers at every turn ...

            It is clear that it is ridiculous to compare Estonia with Germany or, at least, Finland in terms of prosperity, but it looks very decent and comfortable compared to other post-Soviet republics. I doubt that comparing a non-capital Russian town with an Estonian one will turn out in favor of Russia.

                  in vain got into an argument. You don’t prove anything to anyone. Commentators on VO know how there, although no one was there, and even they don’t have friends there, but they will operate with numbers.
                  Regarding towns and cities in the Russian Federation, they have only just begun to approach the level of the Baltic states of the Soviet period in terms of convenience and cleanliness. So what else to plow and plow. and the level of Europe is not soon.
                  here they laugh at that. that people from the Baltic states are going to work in the EU, while in Russia, too, schools of small towns are going to work in Moscow, Peter and other large cities. and most commentators for the money that they pay in the EU themselves will go to wash the toilets and make pots.
                  services in relation to servicing people in Estonia are better than in Russia. father is a pensioner, so certificates from another state come to him faster than from the authorities of the Russian Federation and answer clearly and clearly.
                  Two cars for a family and in the Russian Federation is no longer an indicator, but in Estonia it is easier to do this because Europe with their used cars nearby, (I saw a classmate on a BMW, I was envious, and then I looked at the price of 12 oyro and calmed down, (before the crisis )
                  Regarding the interest on the loan, here it is necessary to write how much the apartment costs, for example, and from here draw conclusions. And on average, people in the ER that live in the Russian Federation the same way, although Estonia and Russia need to be able to compare this, because different weight categories.
                  By and large. there wasn’t anything left from the former industrial Estonia, which is not good, because if the transit is closed together with subsidies, it will be a conservation area or a nursing home.
                  Estonian salaries are not something unattainable for a Russian in Russia.

                  To argue, you need to say the rent, prices in maxim or rimini, at gas stations, so that our commentators can simply compare. and so people don’t know what the argument is about!

Do you see the difference? What you see has always been in Estonia both in the Union and before joining the EU.
                  I will tell you my opinion, neither Ukraine nor Moldova nor Georgia or Russia and Belarus nor other countries of the former USSR nor by any means. I do not care about their aspirations, I will only be glad if possible. but do not represent countries in the EU.

                    In general, I never had any doubts that no one was waiting for Ukraine in the EU, except that in the best years immediately after the Orange Revolution there were some hopes, but they were quickly dispelled. Europe, of course, is also very different, but nevertheless, an openly poor and problematic country there is no longer needed by anyone. I will be very surprised if they suddenly introduce at least a visa-free regime with Ukraine, which seems to be closer and more realistic now than ever, all my life I considered it a beautiful fairy tale, moreover, told by our own politicians.

                    At one time, under Yushchenko, a Ukraine-NATO partnership plan was adopted. It was presented as a huge victory, and huge discussions were conducted on whether this should be done. Here are just few people in the veil of propaganda in general asked what was required of Ukraine according to this plan. There were such things as diversification of energy supplies (this was a big problem in those years for Ukraine), stabilization of the financial situation of Naftogaz (it was already a problem then) and the Pension Fund, norms about the budget deficit, something about fighting corruption. No one in their right mind needs a partner in agony ...

                    As for Moldova and Belarus - here I am not sure. It seems to me that they have the most chances to become part of the European Union because of their size.

                    I remember little of the Soviet Union, I was 10 years old when it fell apart, but what parents tell, for example, about interethnic relations at that time and about the life they lived in, is very different from what is happening there now.

                    Dear Konstantin, where did you get the idea that people in VO have no acquaintances or even relatives there? I have close relatives "there" and they come to visit us in Russia every year. In addition to confectionery, which is not in the Baltics and will never be, they load a bunch of all kinds of light industry goods into their Lexus because they do not have it there, or these goods are very expensive. Plus, they enjoy eating local fruits and vegetables. they are much tastier than those brought from the EU. Plus, they go to St. Petersburg for treatment not for a better life, and now, most likely, they will bring more salt from Russia, yes, ordinary salt because they have it for our money 300r. per kilogram pack. But these are little things, the main thing is that they are in Europe. I agree about the cleanliness of streets in cities, I have been there more than once, unlike Russian cities, the difference is really noticeable. But these are big cities and the capital, in small towns and farms it was not possible to visit. Relatives, by the way, are citizens if anything, but they do not benefit from this for a penny, they work abroad at sea. In principle, with their salary, they would also not be bad living in Bangladesh.

                      Regarding what I took, that there are no friends there. read the comments!
                      Your relatives go to Russia to pack and get treated in St. Petersburg because the ruble exchange rate has dipped, and now it’s profitable, it reminds you when Belarusians and Kazakhs in the Russian Federation rushed to buy equipment. (According to my friend from Moscow, Europeans go to Moscow to treat their teeth, the prices are seriously lower and the quality is not inferior to European)
                      Residents of border regions in general in the Russian Federation refuel and buy cigarettes (such a kind of smuggler). I will not argue about fruits and vegetables and confectionery for taste and color. For example, I don’t like blood sausage in Russia, but someone like it, I would bring some kg from Estonia.
                      Regarding salt for 300 rubles, you still need to transfer the salary of your relatives to rubles, which is on average at the euro exchange rate from 50 to 85 thousand rubles (this is official data plus or minus) per person working. And your relatives are likely to be higher. You understand that with such a salary, prices like ours will not be, and it would be strange if they were like that. You would also cite the fare as an example, or the cost of housing, which if translated into Russian, has cosmic prices.
                      You make a mistake, project their prices and salaries onto Russian reality.
                      Your relatives, like all reasonable people, are trying to save money, which is why they buy in the Russian Federation, benefiting from the price difference .. I can also go to another region if it is profitable. and a family friend visits Kazakhstan every year and brings flour from there, because it’s cheaper there.

                        You dear Konstantin again turned everything upside down. To begin with, as I already said, they receive their salaries not in their own country but abroad, my uncle works at sea, as does the husband of his wife’s sister. The government of his country has nothing to do with this. His income is about 4 thousand euros, but this is personally his merit. Further. They go to St. Petersburg for treatment because there are no such specialists in the Baltic states and local doctors themselves advised to go to Russia. By the way, the result was not long in coming. As for the income of the local population, one shouldn’t hang noodles on their ears saying that those who work in the Baltic countries are much lower than Russian, plus an expensive communal utility that takes up almost 40% of income (for my information, the communal utility at the end of 2016 was about 8,5% from income). Once at one of the forums the same comrade as you tried to prove that everything is bad in the Russian Federation, they say that in America the railway driver receives much more than Russian. But the question is not who gets better, the question is how many nishtyaks he can buy for his salary. And here it turned out that the salary of the American machinist is enough for a more or less human condition (to maintain the pants), i.e. you won’t be able to accumulate something or get rich. And you are right about the taste and color - eating tasteless GMOs from geyrops doesn’t at all make it even better to eat not so beautiful but edible vegetables from your garden. 300 rub salt My question is - how is Norwegian salt different from Ukrainian or Russian? Nothing. It’s salt and salt in Africa. Why do not the government of the Baltic countries conclude an agreement on the supply of this product with the fascist and now such native Ukraine? Yes, no one will allow this as well as tomatoes from Uzbekistan. And how do you like the news about the legalization of the sale of expired products in Latvia? This, probably, from a high standard of living, gives the opportunity to Latvians to save even more and to get rich even more. Where do they get so much money? And housing prices, by the way, in the Russian Federation are much higher than in the Baltic states, at least in the capital regions, if we compare ..

                      I will answer you. I am glad that in St. Petersburg there is such medicine that is not in the EU. I also have a classmate from Estonia who goes to sea and travel to Europe. but we spoke with you about the inhabitants of the Baltic states. And now you give an example of a person who does not live there, I will tell you even more and in Russia there are people who earn not bad, even by European standards.
                      As for the local income, we have people from Estonia on our site and they can confirm what salaries are there, I can tell you that in Tallinn they are different from 400 (there are less) and 1500 oiro (there are higher), we exclude from consideration uncle, aunts, brothers sailors.
                      Regarding the rent, you have pleased me. Interest can express anything, 40% is how? that is, your uncle pays for the apartment, 1600 euros. And my friend receiving 1000 euros pays in winter and summer at 400 euros. Regarding your 8.5%, you get it if you project my family and rent for you, you have a salary of about 100 rubles (even for Moscow and Europe this is a very good indicator)
                      I won’t argue about the driver with the help of whom you won the dispute, but there is, for example, an electrician from our Russian hinterland who left here in 90 to get a penny here, but he just lives there, not survives, and he’s not going to come back, a colleague at work (reserve soldiers, a pensioner, by the way, working at a defense enterprise), her daughter lives in a bad USA and is not going to return, claims that she is better there and a bunch of such examples, but there are other directly opposite ones, so it depends on the person. And where I prove that it’s bad in the Russian Federation, although with your salary of 100 you can buy a lot of nishtyaks not available to me, and it’s very good for you in the Russian Federation, at least many problems are not noticeable. I also strive for such earnings.
                      Concerning GMOs in the EU, ask yourself a question, for example, why Europe does not want to sign an agreement with the USA, precisely because GMO products will crush European ones. And manufacturers supply products to Estonia and the Russian Federation, the same bananas, coffee, and so on.
                      For salt and pricing, study the mat part. For example, why Russian grain is supplied to enterprises in the Russian Federation. It differs in price from the same supplied to other countries, or gasoline, has a difference in price from one manufacturer in different countries.
                      Regarding the sale of expired products. And what's wrong with that? if for example the shelf life of milk has ended today, but tomorrow you can drink it, and accordingly it is better to sell it cheaply than pour it into the slops. I know that many will buy, it is beneficial to everyone, and the store and the buyer and the state. You work in the trading field. Find out how many products are simply thrown away. Why don't they just sell cheap people? Although with your salary it is difficult to probably understand a pensioner with his pension!
                      Regarding housing prices, you just laughed comparing the capital? it turns out that Moscow and Tallinn are the same for the price, I agree, well then compare the provincial cities of these countries. Selling an apartment of 48 M / sq. In Tallinn with stove heating in a two-story building built in the early 50's, for 60 euros, which one can I buy an apartment in Russia and where? Ask how many Khrushchevs cost there? compare the values ​​in small cities of the Russian Federation and the ER,

Europa level, my daughter came from Germany, she was visiting with a friend, she also bought a warm sweater and sleep coldly, and in the corners of the apartment there’s mold. And the water costs oh how expensive. I am retired and what other certificates are needed. I have no idea. Is it worth going to the EU to work when you lose your pension and medical insurance policy? In Germany, a salary of less than 1200 euros cannot be made a contribution to the bank, but investing drips half a percent. Germans go to Switzerland where one percent drips. They are rushing to work in Moscow and St. Petersburg, we also need miners, in the mines of Kaz Uchulen Tashtagol Sheregesh and in Khakassia the climate is better than in Sochi and Switzerland there are more sunny days, more beautiful. There were camps on business trips at that time, dad and mom can not bring up a son to us at the resort drove in trains.

As for life in the EU, you don’t explain this to me, but to those who dream of Europe, I don’t belong to such people, but we are going to this! I know what life is in the EU (there are pros and cons) and therefore I am quite happy with life in the Russian Federation.

She has a salary of 1200 euros, he has his own furniture repair business. Pension does not shine for them under the law. For two of them, their mutual income is not enough for a living - the result is to work for them and work until they die.

          Yes. sure. It was October-November: the gloom is such that I want to strangle myself out of anguish (I understand why they are all so angry and disgruntled there), the local forests are so polite to me. I made the scenery "a tale of wasted time" - one to one, the old town, actually nothing does not carry national - the Poles built, restored too. Narrow long windows of houses - loopholes, however, did not understand from whom and how they fired back, narrow streets, flowers from the windows of neighboring houses can be watered to each other (if something grew in such darkness) + ordinary Soviet buildings. Cemeteries are within the city limits (and where else would they be with such a scale?). Everything is so wretched. All their life they were forced to join various German orders and others in order to somehow survive and have protection, where did this arrogance come from? "Concert" in the Riga Dome Cathedral, the local audience is prim and fucking patriotic to sit out until the end (patriotism is not enough?). And - of course - eggs, bought by the piece (I was shocked), we still haven't reached that since the end of the 80s, mainly we buy in cassettes. Everything is peculiar there, of course. I don’t think there’s such bullshit in all of Europe. Mongolia, Altai, Tuva, Khakassia, Baikal, the Far East, Khabarovsk Territory, Amur.
