Methinks if you guys didn't help the Nazis, you'd be treated more humanely immediately post war. I can sorta understand the lack of love the Soviet government would have towards you at the time.

At the same time the Baltic republics always felt like an artificial part of the USSR, only a little closer than e.g. Bulgaria or DDR. The same can't be said of Belarus and Ukraine, which were culturally, ethnically, and territorially more cohesive in the greater whole, and the loss of which was tragic, and has repercussions to this day.

Yeahh, go to Poland and tell them how they "helped" nazis and that's why they were run over by Soviets:)

EDIT: Culturally we were even farther from CCCP than Bulgaria, I guess, but that is my opinion only formed from my own experience visiting all those countries You have mentioned.
