Authentic news,No fake news.
MOSCOW, September 9 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The ambassadors of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia sent a letter to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper Le Monde, Luc Bronner, asking them not to call their state "former Soviet republics," writes Sputnik .
The reason was an article about the struggle of Finland with a "hybrid threat" from Russia, where the Baltic countries were called "former Soviet republics."
Diplomats Iments Liegis, Dalius Cekuolis and Alar Streymann noted in circulation that their countries had entered the USSR in 1940 involuntarily.
They also added that all three Baltic republics were not created from scratch after the collapse of the Soviet Union, but regained independence and declared continuity of their states.
The newspaper Le Monde has not yet commented on this request.
At the beginning of the year, diplomats sent similar treatment to the leadership of the German portal Zeit Online, which published news about their states under the heading "The Legacy of the Soviet Union".
All three countries believe that the USSR was occupied from 1940 to 1991, and they demand compensation from the Russian authorities for "Soviet occupational damage." In Moscow, in turn, they say that there can be no question of any occupation of the Baltic countries.
