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?
But why is that? Did Lithuania have different policies towards Russians?
It is difficult to say for sure, but one theory is that the historical ties between Lithuania and Russia were not as strong as they were with Latvia and Estonia. Additionally, Lithuania was further from Russia geographically, which may have made it less attractive for Russian migrants.
