It is a policy of russification. linquistic erasure and deprivation of basic national identity. Systematic. brutal. and implacable. the Soviet masters in Estonia as well as the other Baltic nations are doing their best to reduce this area to vassal provinces. Forced labor. deportation. colonization by transplanted peoples from elsewhere in tWe Soviet empire. all add up to a continuing atrocity. It is ironic that the Soviet Union faces a rapid population increase among its nonEuropean peoples. which threatens to make the U.S.S.R. much more Asian and much less European. In fact the Soviet army by the year 2000. according to some projections. is likely to be more Asian than European.
