USA and Baltic states accused Russia of "rewriting history"

The United States and the Baltic states condemned "Russia's attempts to rewrite history". The corresponding joint statement was made by the head of the US State Department Mike Pompeo, the foreign ministers of Estonia Urmas Reinsalu, Latvia Edgars Rinkevich and Lithuania Linas Linkevichus.

According to a joint statement issued on the 80th anniversary of Welles' declaration, Russia has continued to attempt to "rewrite history" to justify the occupation of the Baltic states in 1940. The statement also expresses support for allied relations in NATO, "aimed at protecting peace and stability."

We stand firmly against all attempts by Russia to rewrite history in order to justify the occupation of the Baltic States and the annexation by the Soviet Union in 1940. Welles' Declaration testifies that already in 1940 the free world saw the actions of the Soviet Union as they were: illegal annexation by force

- said in a statement.

In response, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the US had never recognized the entry of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia into the USSR. He added that the US-Baltic partnership is based on a "shared commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law."

In addition, the foreign ministers of the Baltic republics said they highly appreciate the "US contribution to the defense of Europe", especially the dispatch of American troops to the Baltic territory, which contributes to the "containment of a potential enemy," which of course means Russia.

The Welles Declaration is a diplomatic document condemning the annexation of the Baltics by the Soviet Union in 1940. The document was signed by US Deputy Secretary of State Sumner Welles on July 23, 1940, after the entry of Soviet troops into the Baltic States and the proclamation of the Latvian, Lithuanian and Estonian Soviet republics as part of the USSR. The declaration was valid until 1991, and ceased to exist after the collapse of the Union.

Mike Pompeo said that the United States never recognized the entry of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia into the USSR.

never - this does not mean that they will never be recognized in the future. while they insisted on their point of view.

Yes, the limitrophes simply forgot that Russia bought them with giblets even under Peter the Great.
In general, they owe us like land to the collective farm, if you count how much Russia invested there, especially under the USSR!

[Pravodel]

Soon they will say that the purchase was fake, Tsar Peter deceived the gullible King Charles, who did not understand that instead of money the Russians slipped candy wrappers and corks from bottles Vann-tallllllinn, and therefore Russia and the Russians owe them everything in life ... ...

[Aitvaras]

Comrades are mistaken, Lithuania was then a part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, in a common Polish-Lithuanian state. In the Northern War, it was a consignee of Russia against Sweden; to. was not part of Sweden.

[Pravodel]

Peter, under an agreement with Sweden dated September 10, 1721, bought the territory of Ingria, part of Karelia, Estonia - Estonia (now) and Livonia - Latvia (now), including:
- a part of Karelia to the north of Ladoga with Vyborg;
- Ingermanland from Ladoga to Narva;
- part of Estland with Reval;
- part of Livonia with Riga;
- Ezel and Dago islands.
For the acquired land, Russia paid Sweden 2 million efimks (1,3 million rubles). At the current exchange rate, this is about $ 350 billion green rubles without accrued interest.
Lithuania was part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, annexed to Russia under Mother Catherine following the results of the division of Poland.
But the essence does not change from this. Estland and Livonia were bought by Russia. Therefore, it is better for the zealous Balts to keep quiet, otherwise Russia would not make a claim for the return of its lands or the money paid for the lands it acquired.

So you yourself are to blame. At first, they themselves ditched everything, destroying the Empire, which is supposedly a "prison of peoples", and giving statehood to everyone there, and now we are surprised that they do not want to return.

Nobody is in the least mistaken. Such formations of the type of the Baltic "countries" will always be the subject of "division" and "bargaining". All the vaunted "independence" of such limitrophes, as a result, resulted in very ugly and unnatural forms of government. Well, the Lord did not create them, not great, nor free. And you can't call them very smart either. Judging by their behavior.

Yes, only an aboriginal from the Camor Islands does not know that the USA, the Baltic states and Poland and the WWII won, and that the history of Russia is "Wrong". But the main participant who started this war does not really try to rewrite history, in Berlin everyone from small to large knows whose flag hung over the Reichstag in May 1945. You can write everything, paper will endure, but the truth cannot be removed from the human brain.
This is how it was in Estonia, I know very well. Elections for a new pro-Soviet-oriented parliament took place on July 14 and 15, 1940. And the annexation to the USSR took place on July 22 (yesterday was 80 years old). At the same time, the voting itself was the most democratic in the entire history of Estonia - over 80% of the population took part in the elections, noticeably more than ever before, a third more than in 1938, when the dictator Päts organized "elections" to his manual parliament ... As a result, 92,9% of the voters voted for the pro-Soviet Union of the Working People of Estonia.
Most Estonians then quite sincerely chose the Soviet path. Two years later, after the occupation of the republic by German troops, the Estonian collaborators in the captured archives scrutinize the documents for the July 1940 elections and will be forced to admit that the overwhelming majority of Estonians did indeed vote for the Soviet bloc. After the fiasco of France and England, this is beyond doubt.
I always say "Read the manual".

[mitroha]

We spun your delusional accusations with a propeller.

[K-50]

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the United States has never recognized the entry of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia into the USSR.

Yes, we are knee-deep, what is recognized there or not by the papuans. That's perfect. Sit there in the pampas and do not squeal !!!
You might think that your recognition can somehow change something in History. Do not burst from self-importance, well, or you will have to change your pants.

[iouris]

Whoever says that, this cannot be, because it can never be. Only the future can be "rewritten" (more precisely, redesigned). And even then ... History still develops according to objective laws.
It is understandable to interpret history as part of a propaganda project aimed at destroying a competitor for fossil resources.

[Alien From]

It's time to change the gaskets! Smelled!

[AU Ivanov.]

Does the purchase call the buyer an occupier? Why is it scary to go to the toilet, suddenly the toilet will show me something.

[Pereira]

What is the occupation? This is the return of their territories. They would have said something else about Ezel's empire.

[evgen1221]

If there were eggs, then ours could and so crank. We introduce troops and declare these territories as ours (based on their purchase), the states will start yelling, then a counter question to them, did you even exist at the time of purchase ?, then what's your business? If you need them, buy from us, and before that, Selyavi. It’s the same with Europe, they sold it, so they hadn’t had any questions for centuries, therefore, either buy it out or use a forest.

[Rusticolus]

So and then the United States and completely occupied the ancestral territory of the Indians, for that matter.

[Cyril G ...]

By the way, a precedent. The United States will immediately say that they say they bought the territory from the Indians !!! Oops !! It turns out that we, too, have just bought the territory where the same savages wandered ... What a surprise!

[To be or not to be]

What do they not say about it ????
“After Germany attacked the USSR in the summer of 1941, Latvia fell under the control of Nazi Germany, which considered Latvia not a liberated independent state, but the territory of the occupied USSR. At first, Latvia was subordinate to the military administration, and from September 1, 1941, it was subordinate to the civil administration.

ESTONIA
The general districts of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Belarus became part of the Reichskommissariat Ostland, created by the Germans. In Riga, there were administrative structures not only for Latvia, but also for the entire Ostland - the civil administration, the military command, as well as the main SS and police institutions. ”Http://okupacijasmuzejs.lv/ru/istorija-okkupacii-latvii/1-sovjetskaja -okkupacija / latvija-vo-vtoroj-mirovoj-vojnje

[Ka-52]

In response, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the US had never recognized the entry of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia into the USSR.

Well, in general, they did not mind in 1938 and against the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Germany. And in 1937 they did not object to the capture of a part of Chinese Manchuria by Japan. They then held their nose to the wind and watched what it would result in (where the profit looms). It would be better to remember how Texas themselves were annexed by the Meks. And with them part of the land of the current states of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

[Rusticolus]

Yes, what kind of profit is there Who looked at them there？ They looked at someone to lie under so that at least they could stay.

And these were just sitting waiting with someone to win.

And these rats, then where to go! The owner ordered - and that's it! After this "statement", an immutable and solemn licking of shoes, and what is below the back, with vows and assurances of loyalty.

[Nikolai Korovin]

The annexation of the Baltic republics to the USSR was a violent annexation, and the annexation of Texas to the United States was a voluntary, so to speak, annexation after the revolution there had taken place and it was postponed from Mexico. For a while it was simply called the "Territory". "We are non-local people, we are on your territory ..." Remember? It should be admitted, however, that Louisiana, which included almost all of the Midwest along the Mississippi and its tributaries up to New Orleans, was bought by the United States from France, I don’t know for what amount. Here the First Consul clearly gave up.

[Vladimir61]

But what about the "commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law" was consistent with direct and sometimes repeated US military aggression in the 20th century in / on: Afghanistan, Vietnam, Haiti, Guatemala, Honduras, Grenada, Dominican Republic, Iraq, Iran, Spain, China , Colombia, Korea, Costa Rica, Cuba, Kuwait,
Laos, Libya, Morocco, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Russia, El Salvador, Syria, Somalia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, South Sudan, Philippines ?????
Why are our diplomats and the media not participating, but only talking about the information war?

Stop playing with communicating vessels for which Russia serves as a reservoir!
Our opportunities to convey our point of view to the media in the West are not just limited, but practically closed at the legislative level. But, with us, "everyone can do everything."
1. In view of the above, there is no need to replicate and discuss in our media what "they said or think." It turns out that this is a product only for domestic consumption and an opportunity to earn money for our media, nothing more!
2. We need adequate restrictive measures for foreign media in Russia!

[aglet]

in general, I remind you of a banal truth, these so-called countries were bought by Peter I from the Swedes. we did not occupy anyone, we took ours. and there is still a lot of this in the world. or pay, or reunite, you have to look here. but pay-anyway!

[Serpet]

It's funny, because in the USA itself, the war on monuments is a rewriting of its own history.

It looks like a wife who jumped out to marry by calculation, and after a divorce, she throws that she was forced. Only alimony can not be sewn. No kids. And the USA in this image I see Mother-in-law

The Balts sniffed Hitler, who openly declared that his goal was the conquest of Russia! The Balts sided with the Third Reich from the very beginning. Even if there really was our military occupation (and this is a blatant lie!), We would have no other choice. Either we occupy the Baltic states, or the Nazis will strike at us from its territory (St. Petersburg is just a stone's throw away!). Well, knowing how these "occupied" people lived, I have only one word for them - scoundrels.

[Soko]

Again these "exceptional" others teach life

It is quite natural that the United States and its Baltic mongrels defended and will continue to defend their alternative version of history.

Under the "podzabornye", there is no other word. Themselves in 1940 arrived in the USSR, back in tsarist times, as well as in the Revolution of 1917, they fooled their heads in Russia, how much harm they caused, how many people were killed, how much money was wasted on them, and now they are still pumping their rights. In this regard, it is necessary to put things in order with the representation of these territories in Russia. Let their "interests" be represented, for example, by Finland, or some kind of Sweden. Enough to endure the tantrums of these "lowered social responsibility".
