If they do I wouldn't blame them, given that the governments and people of the Baltic states openly admire genocidal Nazi collaborators.

The Balts actually slaughtered their own Jewish populations before the Germans even passed through.

No, there were some incidents in the brief period between Soviet occupation and Nazi arrival on the scene but it is a dubious claim.  Enisatzgruppen directed the Holocaust  and most certainly received assistance from locals.   Anyway, original point is that there are historical reasons for the Baltic states being anti Russian because many crimes were committed against them by Soviet Russia and earlier than that.
