In September 2021, long-time Russia expert Christof Franzen traveled along the Russian-Baltic border. At that time, there was still a sense of optimism in the Baltics. In July 2022, a completely different picture emerges. Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is reopening old divides. _____________________________________________ ????

His conclusion at the time: Although Russia has been acting more aggressively towards its direct neighbors to the west for years, the Baltic states feel safe because they are, after all, in NATO and happy to be in the EU, they said. And most of the protagonists on the Russian side did not feel threatened by their neighbors either, although there was a certain sadness here and there that they would no longer live together in the same, large empire. None of the protagonists believed at the time that Russia would attack Ukraine. They were all proven wrong. A good four months after the start of the war, in July 2022, Christof Franzen traveled to the Baltics again and also contacted the people on the Russian side. These were touching but also oppressive encounters. _____________________________________________ ▪ A film by Roger Brunner, Christof Franzen ▪ Camera: Evgeny Kurbatov ▪ Editing: Dave D.
