| Summary / Abstract (Note) | THE DIPLOMATIC AND POLITICAL SCANDAL that burst out between Russia and Estonia early in 2006 over the future of the military burials of World War II (the Great Patriotic War) times supplied another confirmation of our persisting internal inability to enter into a dialogue if it is needed to counter the opponent's demagoguery with well-substantiated historical arguments to confirm Russia's status as the legal heir of the Soviet Union and the Russian Empire. ... We should not waste time by reminding the Estonian and Latvian anti-communists that we "saved them from Nazism" - this would amount to talking Italian to a German or Serbian to a Frenchman |
