Consequently this article attempts to eliminate, at least partly, the described shortcoming in the field of written contemporary history.

(formed and forced into power by the Soviet Union) of these Baltic states. The second part of the work will examine the attitudes and consequent moves, related to the occupation and incorporation of the Baltic states by the Soviet Union, of various foreign states.
