One quarter of the population in Estonia and in Latvia is Russian. In Latvia before independence the figure was over one-third. Estonia denied citizenship to Russians who arrived after 1940 (and their descendants) and required them to learn the Estonian language and learn about Estonian history and culture before they got their citizenship papers.

That’s what the Baltics are afraid of. They have up to 40% Russians in their population (I think that’s latvia)
