The authors analyzed a number of statements made by falsifiers of the history of the Second World War and concluded that efforts to distort the historical memory of the population are growing. Consideration of a number of reasons and some other aspects of the inversion of the historiographic field of the modern Baltic region that has occurred over three and a half decades in a Russophobic manner seems to the authors of this publication a task quite relevant for the preparation of this publication. The authors studied the desire on the part of the Baltic Soviet republics to destroy the unity of the state and analyzed attempts to rapidly promote discontent among the population. To implement their plans, the Baltic separatists needed massive support from the local population.
