If the Soviet government gets more Slavs (Russians, Ukrainians, and Belarusians) to move to Latvia & Estonia between 1945 and 1989 to the point that Slavs comprise a majority of the total population in Latvia & Estonia, do Latvia & Estonia get partitioned during the fall of the Soviet Union?
I'm thinking that it would be difficult for Latvians & Estonians to run an apartheid state where they deny the suffrage to the Slavs living in their countries; after all, Russia probably won't tolerate this--and neither will the West! On the flip side, though, giving suffrage to the Slavs in Latvia and Estonia in this TL would have resulted in Latvians & Estonians getting outvoted if Slavs voted as a group. Thus, could a partition of Latvia & Estonia be the best option in this TL?
Thoughts?
