Two things can be true at once: the Baltic states did have a depressingly high rate of Nazi collaboration during WWII, which lead to some of the highest percentage of their Jewish populations being slaughtered in all of occupied Europe; AND Russia isn't releasing this report now because they actually care about historical accuracy or honoring the victims, they're cynically using them to further their pro-war propaganda.
