Baltic
Continued from pagj
will be hard fought.
During the last three years, the Soviet empire
has been dissolving. She attributes this to the So
viet Union’s domestic condition and Gorbachev’s
lack of a national policy.
“He treats all Soviet citizens the same,” she
said.
4 In 1983, citizens protested against government
plans to build factories that would pollute the air
in three Baltic republics.
“These people never thought the protests
would lead to results,” Merritt said.
They pushed the government further with
ideas of independence from the Soviet Union,
she said.
Soviet citizens openly spoke out against the
government during the 1989 Soviet Union con
gressional sessions. Most of the protests occurred
in the Baltic republics, she said.
But since the 1989 congressional session pro
tests, the republics of Latvia, Lithuania and Esto
nia have not participated in the Soviet govern
ment. These people want freedom of expression,
she said.
Since the revolts in the Baltic republics, there
have been no clear parties in control.
“Political parties are factioning since Soviet
rules have lessened,” said Merritt. “These repub
lics have many different party representations.”
Because of party factions, the republics are at a
stage where personalities lead, not parties, she
said.
During Merritt’s frequent visits to Estonia, she
has studied the developing factions and the Bal
tic people. She said each of these factions rep
resents different interests.
But unrest between different ethnic groups
and language barriers add to the problems of ac
quiring independence.
Much of the Baltic republics’ population is of
Russian descent, she said. The Estonians, Latvi
ans and Lithuanians believe the Russians are im
perialists and support the central government.
“Russian-speaking people also want indepen
dence,” she said. “Gorbachev won’t tell you these
people want independence, so I think it is my job
to do so.”
Gorbachev portrays the situation in the Bab
as simple intransigence, she said.
She believes Gorbachev’s choices are two-l
Either he does not allow the Baltics indepei
dence and face unruly borders, or he suppor.
the dissolvement of the Soviet Union, she said
The U.S. government’s policy concerning:::
Baltic republics is correct because taking any'
rect action against the Soviet government
would create more turbulence, she said.
Merritt believes giving aid to the individual::
publics would be more effective.
“The U.S. should take advantage of giving
to individual republics instead of relying on 4
Soviet government,” she said.
She ended the lecture by warning againsii:
publics striving for independence solely toisoli
themselves from the Soviet Union.
“Republics wanting to sever ties with Moses
are more likely to be taken over by other intern:
or external forces.”
