Why three Baltic dwarfs, especially a failed state like Lithuania fervently hate Russia and Russians can explain this great article.Enjoy the reading and understand some crazy posts in this section.
Clinical Russophobia of Baltic politicians is caused by the fact that Russia has survived after the collapse of the USSR and is developing, while the Baltic countries are degrading and dying. Those who choose to save and revive the old integration ties of the republics of the former USSR - Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan - have a future, the Baltic countries have no future: from this realization - the impotent spite of local "patriots" who can only cherish their mossy perestroika myth that Russia is -That will be bent from vodka under the fence.
No organ of the human body can exist separately from the whole organism. A hand cannot live by itself, only in science fiction a severed head can exist by itself, and only at Gogol could his nose walk along Nevsky Prospect in the rank of state adviser.
The situation was exactly the same with the Soviet Union, whose economy was a single complex organism, in which each of the republican economies carried out its functions, had its own specialization, worked as part of a whole, and was thousands of structural links integrated into the common Soviet economy.
Therefore, when the Soviet Union collapsed, certain organs of the common body alone could not exist and a total economic and social crisis occurred in the post-Soviet space, the consequences of which have not yet been fully overcome. It is all the more interesting to compare what the former Soviet republics came to a quarter century after the destruction of a single economic space - over 25 years of building their own national economies.
After the collapse of the USSR, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan survived and have a future, while Ukraine and Moldova, Transcaucasia and the Baltic states, who lived in Russia at the expense of Russia in the Soviet era, have now blown away economically and die physically because new generations do not want to live in these countries and run from there.
This is evidenced by recently published statistics, which were classified in the Soviet Union (apparently, in order not to discredit the Soviet system and not undermine the friendship of peoples). Of the 15 Soviet republics, more was produced than only two were consumed - Russia and Belarus. The gross domestic product per capita per year in the RSFSR amounted to 17.5 thousand dollars, and consumption per person per year - 11.8 thousand dollars.
Where did the remaining 5.7 thousand go annually? To answer this question, just look at the indicators of other republics. Soviet Lithuania annually produced goods for 13 thousand dollars per person, and consumed 23.3 thousand. Where did the extra 10.3 thousand come from? It is known where: from the investments of the Union Center in Lithuanian roads, universal gasification, electrification, land reclamation and a nuclear power plant.
A similar situation was in neighboring Latvia: per capita GDP in the Latvian SSR was 16.5 thousand dollars, and consumption - 26.9 thousand. Where did the missing 13 thousand dollars come from? Of course, from the “Russian pigs”, whose efforts in Riga smoked sausages were on the shelves, and long lines for cartilage lined up in the Russian outback.
The Estonian SSR produced $ 15.8 thousand a year, and consumed $ 35.8 thousand — the difference is more than two times. The surplus was provided by all the same "invaders."
This state of affairs was characteristic of all Soviet republics, except for Belarus, which produced more than it consumed, and partly of Ukraine, which almost went “zero”. The Ukrainian SSR owned a third of the industrial potential of the Soviet Union, Ukrainian GDP was about a third of the GDP of the RSFSR, and the standard of living in Soviet Ukraine was higher than Russian. But today the Ukrainian economy is 9% of the Russian, and the standard of living is lower than the Russian one several times. The average salary in Ukraine - 156 euros - is the lowest in Europe, and in terms of per capita GDP Ukraine for a couple of years after the "revolution of hydrology" has become one of the poorest countries in the world. Ukrainian "hydnost" - it is without pants.
Centrifugal movements in the Soviet republics were built on a simple slogan: “Farewell, unwashed Russia” - most of them (and first of all the well-fed, refined and all of the European Baltic States) proclaimed that it is better for them to break up with “these lazy, forever drunk Russians. ” Russia is dying anyway and is about to die: it is better to stay away from it and become a part of the West: to give its most precious - independence - to the rich and successful, and not to the poor and drunk.
The fierce hatred of the Baltic States to Russia today is caused by the fact that the “drunken unwashed Russia” not only did not die, but also demonstrates success and strength in the world, while the Baltic republics live on the artificial respiration of European funds, lose generation after generation by emigrants and simply physically have no future .
According to the World Bank, Russia's GDP at purchasing power parity for 2015 is $ 2.5 trillion - 121.9% of the 1991 level of the RSFSR. Russia's per capita GDP is 25.4 thousand dollars - one and a half times higher than that of the RSFSR.
When the Baltic states left the Soviet Union, the leaders of Sayudis and the Popular Fronts assured the people that in a very short time their countries would heal like Sweden, Denmark and Finland. What happened 25 years after the “occupier’s boot” was dropped? Today, the level of consumption in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia is on par with the average Russian. But after all, in the Soviet years in Latvia and Lithuania, the level of consumption in Latvia and Lithuania was two times, and in Estonia - three times higher than in the RSFSR!
It turns out that the gap in living standards with Russia over the past quarter century has narrowed to the minimum, while the gap in per capita GDP, consumption, average wages and other indicators of social well-being with the Scandinavian countries is only growing. Lithuania believed that without the “scoop” he would live like Denmark? Today the average salary in Denmark is four times higher than in Lithuania. The leaders of Sayudis said that they would make a standard of living, as in Finland? In Finland, salaries are also four times higher than Lithuanian. In Latvia, salaries are four and a half times lower than Swedish. And these are only average salaries - for certain professions, the gap between Scandinavia and the Baltic states can be six to seven times. The gap in living standards, incomes, and social well-being between these regions for a quarter of a century did not decrease, but widened.
And if you subtract direct and indirect subsidies from EU funds from the GDP of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, and at the same time the money that immigrants send to their homeland, then it turns out that the Baltic States for economic development are real, by itself, at the level of Transcaucasia and Central Asia.
And after all, in the next decade, this will certainly come to light when the new EU budget comes into force, drawn up taking into account the “Brexit” and the loss of the UK share to maintain the viability of Eastern Europe.
In addition to quantitative indicators, there are also qualitative ones. Russia today builds rockets and airplanes, launches new cosmodromes, and opens up new horizons for using nuclear energy. Where are the "Baltic tigers"? Where is their vaunted innovative economy, which in practice boils down to issuing mortgages by Scandinavian banks? Where is their high-tech production, which was the Baltic specialization in the USSR? Nothing left. There are no electrical factories and plants, design bureaus. In the Soviet years, the Riga Institute of Civil Aviation Engineers was in Latvia. Can you imagine today that present-day Latvia is building planes?
From this is clinical Russophobia, which from contemptuous squeamishness to “these drunk lazy Russians” today has turned into a hysterical hatred of “Russian aggressors”.
Now Baltic Russophobia is even a compliment for Russia, because the Russians are now not drunk and lazy, now they are the worst global threat that, if we do not pursue a “containment” strategy, will be able to capture all of Europe.
This painful Russophobia comes from a painful combination of someone else's forward movement and their own stomping on the spot. “The father of Lithuanian democracy” and the classic Baltic Russophobe Vytautas Landsbergis, following the results of the Olympics, compares the state policy in the field of sports in Russia with the sports policy of Nazi Germany. Dedule emphasizes that he does not know another country where the sport would be as ideological as in Russia, and concludes that this is necessary to maintain "imperial ambitions."
Why is this another exacerbation of the "father of the nation"? Firstly, despite the fact that the Russian Olympic team, in spite of all the persecution and all the psychological pressure of the “Russian controllers” in the field of sports, worthily performed at the Olympics and became one of the strongest. Secondly, because proud Euro-Atlantic Lithuania at the same Olympics took 64th place in the final team event.
The Baltic fighters with the “Russian threat” have no choice but to continue to cherish the myth of the ever-drunk dying Russia, while in reality their countries are dying, as well as those Soviet republics that decided to follow the pseudo-European “Baltic path”.
Sustainable population growth, near-zero emigration and high birth rates today from the entire post-Soviet space are observed in the EAEU countries: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan.
Whereas Moldova, Ukraine, who made the “European choice”, and Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia, taken as their model, are dying. Moreover, they are not dying out metaphorically, but in fact. From this they are furious, and convince themselves that "the crust is about to bend."
And the Baltic states, and Ukraine, which was especially infected from it, now live by the belief that Russia is on the edge of the abyss, that it is dying - that local patriots “die” a hundred times a day as a spell. In the desperate belief that Russia is bending and dying, for them the only salvation from the bitter truth is that in fact they are bent and die.
