Baltic political leadership and not to be overcome by accusations and denials, but rather start
developing concrete technologies and schemes aimed at rendering conceptual aid to the Baltic

prevent the anti-Russian part of the Baltic elites from confining the local population to the dis-

Russia's active practical work on generating different ideas in the field of bilateral relations will
objectively motivate the Baltic elites to seek answers to the challenges of the future and get into
a discussion using well-founded arguments, which will inevitably lead to facilitation of a dialog
on normalizing bilateral relations.
