Baltic as a concentrate of the policies of the great powers on the eve and during the Second World War
The review examines the collection of documents "Forced Alliance", which includes the telegrams of official correspondence of the Ambassador of the Republic of Latvia to the USSR F. Kotcynsh and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia V. Munters in 1939-1940, and additional reference and historical materials. Comparing the telegrams (containing, in particular, the results of regular negotiations of the "Baltic Entente" envoys in Moscow) and the content of the international agreements of the USSR with the Baltic states and their position with regard to the actual military opponents of that time, the author of the review debunks some historical myths.
