The baltics have a collective population smaller than Houston. The entire former USSR is almost 300 million people. They also are unique because they didn't join the USSR until after WW2, and they are the only ones in NATO and the EU. So this is an extreme case, and none of the other former soviet republics are anything like the baltics.
