Abstract

The Baltic Way

Over the millenia the destiny of the Baltic nations has been shaped by their location on the crossroads of Northern and Eastern Europe. The history of the Baltic nations is one of the cooperation between the west and the east but it is also a history that is marked by a power struggle between the east and the west. This power struggle condemend the Baltic nations to languis under the domination of foreigners who have always tried to deny or restrict the rights of the native populations to determine their own destinies. But even under the domination of the foreigners the Baltic peoples—the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanians—have managed to maintain their own cultural identity.
