The Russians have never reconciled themselve to losing the Baltic states (Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, which hope to join NATO), even though they only took them in 1941 under extremely brutal circumstances - although they had been, unhappily, part of the Russian empire for a couple of hundred years.

Then, it had the privilege of playing the No. 2 team in the nation in the Eagles on Monday night.
