These small countries were attacked and easily overrun by the Red army. Communist regimes were installed. and then these countries were annexed to the Soviet Union. Thenceforth the peoples of these countries were enslaved by their Communist overlords. Subsequently hundreds of thousands of innocent people were arrested. imprisoned. and then in a mass deportation exiled to distant parts of the Soviet Union. Today. after more than 20 years. some of these unhappy people are still suffering in Soviet prison camps in Asiatic Russia. We observe the anniversary of this sad event in memory of those who lost their lives in the mass deportations committed by the Soviet authorities in 194041.
