But since 1940 Estonia and the other Baltic States. Latvia and Lithuania. have again been under the authoritarian rule of the Soviet Union. Within a few days in June 1940 the Red army moved into Estonia. established military bases and deported thousands of Estonians to Siberia. The Soviet Union has tried to suppress religion and any feeling of national loyalty in this little Baltic nation. The people of Estonia have made Estonia one of the most industrialized of the Soviet republics. making a large percentage of the U.S.S.R.s large electrical transformers and mining more than half of its oil shale.
