On religon in the Baltics, Lithuania was very strongly Catholic during the Soviet occupation. Latvians are divided between Catholics, Lutherans, and a smaller number of Orthodox believers. Estonians are predominantly Lutheran. It is my impression that Lithuanians like Poles were pretty religious under communist rule while the other Baltic peoples were less so.

Yes, I second that. I guess Latvia and Estonia should be considered Orthodox. Because Russians claim to be Orthodox, while the indigenous locals do not give a crap. According to some recent study Estonia is THE least religious country in the world.

I met this evangelical missionary who has been to Lithuania, trying to convert people. He hadn’t had a good time there. 🙂 I hope he now goes to Estonia and gets really frustrated.

There’s more than one reason a missionary might fail. Protestantism found zero purchase in Lithuania way back when, it’s pretty much a poster-country for successful jesuit counterreformation. This sort of thing keeps on mattering even as centuries pass, I find.
There’s also a bunch of people who are religious for little other reason than as a form of cultural resistance to soviet Russia, and a not yet completely barren christian democratic political tradition.
Christianity isn’t exactly a lively thing in Lithuania, but it is far from irrelevant.

—why the soviet union was so successful. –
I guess one can reformulate the question into “why was SU as successful as it was”. Lasting 70 years, winning wars, developing all those modern weapons… Well, imagine what would happen if Germany had all those resources and did not attack too powerful countries. So they could more successfully sell their doctrine as a viable alternative to the mainstream, and would have more sympathizers everywhere…

Which is one reason the collapse turned into such a clusterfuck whereas countries with religious traditions that were either a going concern (or more tolerated than in the USSR) had softer landings.
I think, without looking it up, that countries with RC or protestant traditions did better than those with Orthodox traditions – which seem…. less centered on maintaining any kind of morality and more centered on physical obedience to authority.
It’s like Orthodox practitioners (along with orthodox Jews and most modern devout Muslims) are still operating with Julian Jaynes’ bicameral mind.
