Enjoyed the article (and the map-)).

"The thing is, though, that Latvia is free and Belarus isn't."  It
must be  that 20 year gap in which 3 Baltic states managed to

struggling to find their way to democracy.

possibly because the balts were a little less sovietized to begin with.

One extra generation made big difference.

then
there is the scandinavian influence as well.

May be, but I doubt it had any major impact.
