Peters, the published maps showed the demarcation lines between the Soviet and German armies in Poland. This scarcely revealed any secrets, since the position of those armies after their joint destruction of Poland was there for everyone to see anyway. What the maps do not show is the bandits’ agreement between Moscow and Berlin, defined by the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact’s dastardly Secret Protocols. Throughout almost all of its history, up to its very last year or two, the Soviet Union continued to lie about the Secret Protocols of the Pact, even long after the German copy of the treaty had fallen into the hands of the Western Allies and made the Pact an open secret. Only determined demonstrations by the Baltics, culminating in the 2 million-person Baltic Chain joining the three Baltic capitals in an unbroken human chain on the Pact’s 50th anniversary in 1989 finally forced Moscow’s hand. Three months later the first democratically elected Congress of Soviets acknowledged and denounced the Secret Protocols. Post-Soviet Russia has declared the Secret Protocols invalid from the moment they were signed. Yet neither it nor its Soviet predecessor ever acknowledged that the automatic and intended result of those Protocols, namely the occupation and destruction of the Baltic nations, was likewise invalid from inception, and to this day Medvedev, Putin and the Kremlin establishment continue to repeat Stalin’s lie that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania freely and legally committed synchronised national suicide, and that there never even was a Soviet occupation of the Baltics.
