We present to the attention of readers a book about the dramatic fate of the Baltic states and its indigenous peoples (mainly Estonians) in the conditions of military-political, civilizational, informational and psychological rivalry between the Germans (Germans, Danes, Swedes) and the Slavs (Poles, Russians), the Western world (Roman Catholic, Protestant) and the Eastern (Orthodox) world, carriers of Westernized ideology (socialism, ethno-nationalism, parliamentarism) and adherents of traditionalist ideology (autocratic power, conservatism, United and Indivisible Russia). The analysis covers more than eight centuries (XII - early XX centuries) and traces the processes that led to the separation of the Baltic states from Russia in 1920.
