Finally. in 1940. Estonia was forcibly incorporated into the U.S.S.R.. despite the heroic efforts of her people to avoid this alliance. The mass deportations. executions. and the attempted dissolution of the proud Estonian culture and history are well known to us all. It is a pattern the Soviet Union follows in dealing with small countries on its borders. and is apparent throughout Eastern Europe and the Baltic States. That this is still the Soviet Unions modus operandi today certainly becomes obvious. when the events which occurred in Czechoslovakia are viewed with an eye toward the past experiences of these unfortunate Baltic States.
