Abstract
- The article deals with the position of national minorities in the former federal states of the Soviet Union. It deals specifically with the position of the Russian minority in the Baltic countries and in Ukraine. Based on the analysis and comparison, it examines and describes the position of this minority in society and examines and evaluates the observance of its civil and minority rights. The Baltic States are all currently members of the EU and NATO. In this context, the article notes how the standards of human and minority rights protection typical of democratic states in Europe are respected in these countries, as well as the criteria and requirements for the protection of human (civic) and minority rights by the European Union. The article is based on the premise that the standards and criteria that both the European Union and the Council of Europe place for the protection of minorities in these countries in relation to the Russian minority are not met. These countries deliberately do not meet these standards, and there is no response from the EU to such a situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
