Unfortunately. their worst apprehensions proved correct. Early in 1940 Stalins ruthless regime imposed upon them totalitarian communism and then annexed these countries to the Soviet Union. At the same time Stalins henchmen caused the arrest of several hundred thousand Baltic nationals and these were exiled to distant parts of Asiatic Russia. This inhumane mass deportation. was carried out in mid1940 with abominable and indescribable misery. People were uprooted from their homes and in freight cars shipped off to perpetual exile. All this was done 22 years ago. and today the anniversary of that event is being observed in due solemnity.
