    The Baltic states fear a Russian invasion. They faced the same threat a century ago and failed to stop it. Historian Alexey Uvarov explains why the region could not defend itself against Stalin.

    As Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine enters its fifth year, experts and Western intelligence sources are increasingly warning that Russia also poses a growing threat to countries in the Baltic region. So far, the confrontation has produced only isolated incidents, such as drone incursions into these countries’ territory — but tensions are rising. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, and Finland increasingly need to consider how they would collectively defend themselves against a full-scale invasion from the east. The problem is not new to the region: 100 years ago, the Baltic countries also tried to join forces to protect themselves from militarily stronger neighbors. They failed to create an effective defense alliance. In this article for Meduza, historian and memory-politics expert Alexey Uvarov examines lessons from the Baltic region’s failed efforts to build an effective defense alliance.
