Are you surprised that the Second World War began a little before the Great Patriotic War?

I am not embarrassed, because the territory of Latvia and Riga joined together (since 1939). In the USSR, military operations began on June 22, 1941. Why not open the Pioneer House in Riga in February 1941?
And if honestly, maybe it's time to shame yourself and learn history? Or read Wikipedia. Well or news at least sometimes look, there was quite recently - a couple of years ago - a bunch of reports related to the political situation in the Baltics and the history of the matter. It is a shame not to know such things.
