Morever that whole "Russia try to conquer Baltics" narrative is just plainly silly - what use would we have out of a depopulated, de industrialised region that promotes rusophobic hysteria within it's citizens? The only possible reason for the Russian invasion of Baltics that I see is to counter the military threat, comming from NATO.

Your forefathers did all that already once, and kept the status then for several decades.
It was called the Warsaw Pact. It is no secret that quite some Russian politicians cry for the loss of what once was their empire, and that they want to have it back. The more paranoid also demand it back as a pressure zone to NATO.
After the Crimean adventure, I fear you have no argument there to convince people that Russia prioritizes peace before anything else. Not to mention Syria.
