      >“We know that in January ~~1991~~1990, when Lithuania was the first republic to actually proclaim its independence

      Oh ffs, this is a simplistic interpretation of history and downplays the complex political situations in the Soviet-occupied Baltic states in 1988-1991. Major revolutionary activity took place in 1988-1989, yet it didn’t end the Soviet occupation. All three had democratic elections in early 1990 and declared Soviet rule to have been legally null and void from the start. That in essence means independence from the USSR as it declared the Soviet occupation to have been illegal. Yet Lithuania chose to “declare independence” while Estonia and Latvia chose not to for various reasons. Most importantly, none of the three were thereafter rid of the Soviet occupation – that ended for all three with the August Coup in 1991.
