This really presented no problem. as the wasteland of Siberia had long been a Russian dumping ground for political elements not taking kindly to Moscow domination. This was again the policy followed. In the week subsequent to June 13. 1941. alone. some 60.000 men. women. and children were deported to Siberia and. for most. almost certain death. This number represented but one period in the deportation schedules that were Interrupted only by the arrival of another invaderNazi Germany. Yet not even the victory of the democracies after the Second World War could bring succor to the citizens of these countries. For included amongst the victors was Imperialistic Russia. still determined upon her policies of domination and conquest. The Baltic States slipped easily back under Communist control. and there was a new series of deportations. with political control from Moscow ever stricter. Today. 22 years after the first great deportations the situation remains the same. It is therefore our just and rightful duty to give recognition to the peoples of Latvia. Lithuania. and Estonia in their dedication to overcome all opposition and to again see freedom in their respective homelands.
