Why did *many* fewer ethnic Russians move to the Lithuanian SSR in Soviet times in comparison to both the Latvian SSR and the Estonian SSR?
Were there any economic factors at play in the different levels of Russian migration to the three Baltic states?
Yes, there were definitely economic factors involved. Estonia and Latvia had a more developed economy compared to Lithuania, which may have made those countries more attractive to Russian migrants who were seeking better job opportunities.
