In a document entitled “Strategic goals of the Russian Federation in the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian directions“, which the Dossier Center has reviewed, speaks of the need restoration of ties with the three Baltic countries. They planned to improve relations in the Kremlin using the good old methods – stories about discrimination Russian-speaking population, the fight against “falsification of history” and creating a network of supporters. The Kremlin was also afraid that the Estonians would develop Finno-Ugric separatism in RussiaLatvians – seize Russian assets, and Lithuanians – help the Russian opposition. The most ambitious plans were for Latvia: by 2030 the Kremlin was going to achieve recognition Russian as the official languageand also solve the problem of the status of “non-citizens””
The document is dated 2021. Two years later these the plans look fabulous: What kind of improvement in relations can we talk about if Lithuania officially recognizes Russia terrorist state? But a strategy was created in pre-war times – and about the invasion of Ukraine by AP officials didn’t warn.
