This book addresses a crucial question: the contribution of
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania to the historic dissolution of the
USSR in 1991, which in turn led to regained independence for the
Baltic States in that year. This is an important history, relating
to the interplay between divisions and tensions at the heart of the
USSR and the growing Baltic independence movements. It also has
great contemporary significance as a result of Russia's February
2022 invasion of the Ukraine. To justify this act, Vladimir Putin
has explicitly promoted a 'Greater Russian' version of history,
including a dangerously inaccurate narrative of what occurred in
the Baltics in 1991. He also continues to threaten military action
against the Baltic states, all of which are members of NATO. The
contributors-who include Brendan Simms, Vladislav Zubok, Andrew
Wilson, Mart Kuldkepp, Bridget Kendall, Kristina Spohr, Kaarel
Piirimae and Neil Taylor- analyse the struggles of Estonia, Latvia
and Lithuania to secure their independence, and set out how Moscow
is propagating fake history, as well as engaging in destabilising
measures and cyber-attacks, to undermine these countries' hard-won
freedom. This indispensable volume addresses head-on the biggest
geopolitical challenge facing the world today: responding to
Russian military adventurism.
