| Abstract [eng] |
The USSR journalists were favourably welcomed in the Baltic countries. They were received by the official representatives of the authorities, and by social and cultural organizations. The report as a historical source is supplemented by the memoirs of the member of the Soviet delegation Tichonov, published in 1964. Both sources as well as the press reports indicate that the welcome of the delegation was the warmest in Lithuania - a large part of its politicians as well as influential intellectuals still believed that Moscow would help Lithuania to regain Vilnius and retain Klaipeda. Left wing intellectuals of the Baltic countries, among whom it is already possible to notice Justas Paleckis and Johanes Vares-Barbarus, leaders-to-be of the puppet governments of the 1940 occupation in Lithuania and Estonia, actively adjoined the delegations. This fact alone already testifies the after-effects of the visit. |
