The country that hates Russia the most, 2 million people hand in hand, cross the three countries just to demonstrate to Russia

As we all know, Russia is an aggressive country, most of the 17.1 million square kilometers of land were stolen, of which 4.3 million square kilometers of land from Outer Mongolia in the south, to Lake Baikal in the north, to the Transhingan Mountains and Sakhalin Island in the east were snatched from Our hands, and in the beginning, Russia was only a small Grand Duchy of Moscow among the Eastern European countries. In the process of hundreds of years of expansion and aggression, Russia has made many old enemies, so which country hates Russia the most?

At present, almost all of Europe except Belarus is an enemy of Russia, which has spent more than half a century trembling in the shadow of the Red Soviet Union, but what hates Russia the most is not the Western European countries, but the former member Lithuania. Lithuania, the southernmost of the three Baltic states, was forcibly annexed by the Soviet Union during World War II and was the first to declare independence from the Soviet Union in March 1990, and lithuanians remain hostile to Russia to this day.

There is no reason why Lithuania should not hate Russia. From the formation of the Lithuanian nation in the 13th century, Lithuanians were frequently oppressed by the Slavs, and in the 16th century, the Livonian War against Russia broke out, and after the 18th century, it was occupied by Russia several times, and it frequently changed hands between Germany and Russia. In 1926, the Soviet Union and Lithuania agreed not to invade each other, but in 1940, the Soviet Union tore up the treaty and openly invaded Lithuania, arresting and exiled at least 30,000 people. Fortunately, a year later, the Soviet-German War broke out, Lithuania was occupied by the German army, and the Lithuanians, instead of hating the German army, regarded them as liberators and expelled the Soviets together with their enemies.

A few years later, the Soviets made a comeback, knocking the Germans all the way back to their homeland, liberating Lithuania, which had been occupied for many years. After the war, Lithuanians were brutally purged by the Soviet Union for cooperating with the Germans during the war, and tens of thousands more were exiled to Siberia. In order to eliminate Lithuania's independent character, the Soviet Union brutally exploited it, weakening Lithuania by imposing heavy taxes and subsidizing other member countries, which caused strong dissatisfaction among Lithuanians.

At the end of the 1980s, the Soviet Union was facing serious internal and external troubles, and Lithuania took the lead in standing up and demanding independence from the Soviet Union. Gorbachev urgently mobilized 500,000 troops to enter the country to quell the unrest, and as a result, the people of the three Baltic countries united, and about 2 million people spontaneously took to the streets, hand in hand, in a 600-kilometer-long human chain, from the east coast of the Baltic Sea to the eastern border, confronting the Soviet army, known in history as the "Baltic Road".

After the events subsided, Lithuania became the first country to secede from the Soviet Union, and Estonia and Latvia followed suit. Years later, the three countries still regard Russia as an enemy, and Russia wants to set off fireworks in the three countries to celebrate the victory of the Great Patriotic War, but the three countries categorically refuse, saying that "your liberation is not my liberation."
