This wasn't just a border realignment. Thousands of Latvians, Estonians and Lithuantians were killed, or shipped in boxcars to Siberia.

Pre 1991, the Soviet line was that the Baltic States joined the Soviet Union at their own request. This was taught in the schools there.

I think the Hitler-Stalin pact was one-sidedly cancelled by Hitler on june 22nd 1941, I don't see the problem here.

Surely that deal, conducted between two mass murdering dictators, has no legal standing in the modern day.

The first victim was Poland which lost 6 million (20 percent) of its citizens (half of them Jews; half of them Christians) to the Nazis, and then thousands more to the Communists. Stalin had a personal grudge against the Poles because of their defeat of the Red Army in 1920 - in which his own stupidity had played a part.

So what would be the practical effect, if any, if the Russians did renounce the PAct?
Something seems implied other than mere symbology.
Does anyone actually *know* whatthe practical effect would be?

Hitler already renounced it June 22, 1941 upon the invasion of Eastern Poland and the Soviet Union.

I had to read this twice. Good grief, that's sad and funny and sad all over again.

The Nazi-Soviet pact led communists in the U.S. to switch from being anti-Nazi, to attacking FDR for warmongering.
