title = "Between History and Propaganda: Estonia and Latvia in Russian Historical Narratives",
abstract = "This chapter analyses the modern Russian narrative of the history of Estonia and Latvia as it is revealed in academic publications, popular science channels and propaganda from various media outlets. The authors discuss the dynamics of the politicization and ideologization of Baltic past study, the transformation of historians into {\textquoteleft}mnemonic warriors' (according to M. Bernhard and J. Kubik's terminology) and the main actors of the Russian Federation's official politics of memory. The article explores the media resonance of historical controversy and the use of history as a tool of informational and cognitive influence operations.",
