With the creation of the Commission to Counteract the Falsification of
History to the Detriment of Russian Interests, Russian President

former Soviet states -- in particular, the Baltic states -- to adhere
to a uniform Russian history. Russia has accused the governments of
Estonia and Latvia of lionizing partisans who fought on the side of
Nazis against Soviet forces.
