THE COMMUNIST TAKE-OVER IN ESTONIA<br />

The difference in living standards between <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union and its<br />

neighbouring states (above all Finland and <strong>the</strong> Baltic states Estonia, Latvia<br />

and Lithuania, which had been spared from Bolshevism) was all too<br />

obvious and in order to even out this difference, Moscow made prepa-<br />

rations to incorporate those states in <strong>the</strong> Soviet Empire. The international<br />

financial elite gave Stalin a free hand to act. The Baltic states were to have<br />

been <strong>the</strong> Soviet Union's base for its planned attack against Germany. (Carl<br />

O. Nordling, "Defence or Imperialism? An Aspect <strong>of</strong> Stalin's Military and<br />

Foreign Policy", Uppsala, 1984.)<br />

The extremist Jews <strong>of</strong> course played <strong>the</strong> key role in this action. A<br />

certain part <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Jewish population (<strong>the</strong> initiated) in <strong>the</strong> Baltic states had<br />

been prepared for <strong>the</strong> take-over for a long time. In Moscow, <strong>the</strong><br />

preparations were finished as early as in 1937, when <strong>the</strong> Kremlin had <strong>the</strong><br />

first maps <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Baltic states printed with <strong>the</strong> names "Latvian SSR" and<br />

"Estonian SSR". Phrase books in <strong>the</strong> Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian<br />

languages were printed for <strong>the</strong> Soviet soldiers in 1940 (just before <strong>the</strong><br />

occupation).<br />

The preparations also included plans for <strong>the</strong> deportation <strong>of</strong> Baltic citi-<br />

zens. Information about this was immediately spread to <strong>the</strong> international<br />

Zionist organisations. Vladimir Jabotinsky (born in Odessa 1880, died in<br />

1940), a well-known Zionist activist who also founded <strong>the</strong> terror organi-<br />

sation Warriors <strong>of</strong> Zion, wrote a letter to one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> leading Zionist<br />

functionaries in <strong>the</strong> United States on <strong>the</strong> 2nd <strong>of</strong> November 1939. The letter<br />

dealt with <strong>the</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Palestinians, whom <strong>the</strong> Zionists wanted to<br />

deport from Palestine. There was one very remarkable sentence in <strong>the</strong><br />

letter concerning plans for a future deportation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Palestinians: "If it<br />

was possible to transfer <strong>the</strong> Baltic peoples, it is also possible to move<br />

<strong>the</strong> Palestinian Arabs."<br />

Jabotinsky's letter is preserved in <strong>the</strong> Israeli National Archives. (The<br />

Washington Post, 7th <strong>of</strong> February 1988.) The letter was quoted and<br />
