Evelyn - - correct me if I have my history - or memory - wrong.
Estonia - Lettland and Litauen -despite the fact that I know I have the
spelling wrong - weren't they three incredibly tiny countries in the
Balkans - and now do not exist any longer??? Just curious.

Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are the Balkan countries.
All are free now, but who knows how long that will be for?

Saw something scary on TV recently which states there is a large youth movement going on in Russia right now in which they are planning actively to become communist again, and take back the countries they freed etc. etc. etc. They also have Putin as their great hero with flags and photos of him everywhere. They have youth camps where they train for this. I thought it was quite scary.
