It's far more fun to rile the Russian ultranationalists, like Serb. I mean, nothing beats his incomprehensible ranting when he gets mad.

Faulty perception here, Boris. Serb is not ultranationalist. He is not even nationalist.

I hope I didn't inadvertently blurt out your secret, Serb.

This thread lacks of Russian view on issue, so...

I guess some people here just dint't read this article. It's not about Russian claims to Baltic States. It's about claims of Baltic States to Russian Federation.
From this article:

The author of the document, deputy Viktor Alksnis treats this perspective rather skeptically. “It’s clear that I don’t expect that Russia would seek for restitution of any property from the Baltic republics. However, as long as Lithuania officially claims that Russia must “compensate the damage caused by the Soviet occupation” and appeals to the world community in connection with this claim, we should have counter claims ready at hand.”

The problem has gone too far that Lithuania even adopted a law “On compensation of damage caused by the Soviet occupation” and a special referendum was held in connection with the problem. On December 4, Estonia’s Foreign Minister declared that Tallinn would also set up a special commission to estimate the rate of a similar “damage.” Latvia may also join the claims of its neighbors; the three Baltic republics plan to make a joint statement and bring an action to the sum of 55-60 billion dollars against Russia.

If you consider Russian Federation is successor of Soviet Union and consider that Russian Federatrion should pay to you for "Soviet occupation", FINE, but if RF is successor of SU then you should return property which belonged to SU to its successor- Russian Federation.
First of all you should return your capital- Vilnus. It's Soviet territory, the territory which SU gave to one of it's Socialistic Republic- Lithuania. This territory didn't belonged to Lithuania which was annexed by SU in 1940.
Are you ready to return your capital?
Also you should return big part of your territory which Soviet Union absolutely legaly bought from Germany (in 1940 iirc) and gave to one of its Baltic Socialistic republics. (I had nice newspapper article about territories which SU added to three annexed Baltic States, but unfortunately lost it).
How about Soviet property which worth billions and which was left there?
Are ready to return it to successor of Soviet Union?
How about a compensation of damage which SS legions formed in Baltic States did to Soviet Union?

So the main idea of this article is- "if guys want to make us pay, because you concider us as successor of Soviet Union, then be ready to return you own debts"

I agree that the Baltic states, historically and culturally, are part of the natural boundaries of Russia and that the current Baltic governments are illegitimate usurpers.

I already stated this line of reasoning with my claims that Greece is legally Turkey's westernmost province and the Athens government is illegitimate and rebel.
