Number one joke on http://www.anekdot.ru today:

In 2020, after EU will completely fall apart in 2010, Latvia will demand compensations for illegal forced joining the European Union, unconditional withdrawal of NATO troops and immediate deportation of 3 million Turks.

I think it loses its punch in translation.

Would be great if Russia joined the EU though.

The "punch" is in the fact that our media is screaming about Latvia demanding compensations for "illegal forced occupation" by USSR.

I don't think so. Common opinion that in this case we'll "live like in Europe and work like in Russia" is IMHO quite stupid.

Correct me If I'm wrong Boroda. But didn't Russia invade Latvia in 1940 and Lithuania and Estonia not to mention Finland and Poland? Maybe they left that bit out of your history books too?

While human habitation in the region dates back to at least 9000 BC, the first forebears of Latvia's present inhabitants were Finno-Ugric hunters who probably reached the area between 3000 and 2000 BC. The ancestors of the modern Latvians, known as Balts, probably showed up around 2000 BC.

Recently however, archeologists have found an amazing artifact near the site of Latvia's present day capital of Riga. Excavation for a new hotel unearthed a long-buried secret chamber full of ancient artifacts of decidely human origin. Some of them have been subjected to carbon dating and appear to be older than 9000 BC, thus raising the interesting question of just who these original Latvians might be.

Here is a photo of one such item, particularly well preserved, carbon dated to 10,000 BC and clearly shaped by the hands of early man.

I seem to remember that the "agreement" was between Stalin and a different leader -- the infamous Herr Ribbentrop and his master, Herr Hitler. At the time of the invasion of Latvia, Sept 1940, the USSR was bound by nonaggression treaty to the Nazis, with whom they had digested Poland. Mr. Churchill was not exactly party to the USSR's political decision making in this interval.

If you're talking about Yalta, I'd say the west had a different concept of "sphere of influence" than the freedom loving peoples of the USSR. When the allies administered an area, we worked to achieve their independence and self sufficiency. We did not invade them if they displeased us (remember Hungary?) -- as can be seen by France's continued existance as an independent country.

However, I realize that with the pair of brainwash-ees in question, I'm just wasting my breath.

Sigh.

I doubt if Churchhill wouls agree to that. But whatever. He was nothing to with me. Our leader at the time was called De Valera.

Buck that. I think the U.S. should join the EU.

The U.S. should have continued in Russia after defeating Germany. Stalin was much worse than Hitler.

As for brilliant Soviet tactics, it is no wonder Russia lost 20,000,000 people in World War II while the U.S. lost only a few hundred thousand. Americans use steel to stop bullets, Soviets use their soldiers.
