Not quite so. Take the "trials" on whom they call "Soviet occupants"; they surely will qualify for your "sanctioned persecution". It could be 'nother story, but not wholly.In essence - because I'm sick of this - there is a difference between sanctioned persecution and the bastardry, to coin a phrase, of circumstance. Ethnic Russians in Latvia bear the brunt of the latter, not the former. German Jews - a whole 'nother story. No fish.
