Just writing in case some reader wonders why the downvotes.
Estonia was independent before the second world war and was doing very well. After the second world war until the nineties it was under Soviet occupation. During the occupation, there were mass deportations to Siberia, socialization of property, prevention of travel, prevention of free information and prevention of free enterprise and all those things. Until Estonia became independent again. The economic growth has been rapid since.

Ditto for Latvia and Lithuania.

I'm sure Russia was providing that infrastructure for free and didn't take anything from other countries while they were in the USSR.

this article is about using very high mass alternators to stabilize the grid's frequency
The clearest term IMO is synchronous capacitors. They are in effect large flywheels that can operate as both an electric motor and a generator. Over time they are a net power drain for the grid, but as parent says offer synthetic grid stability independent of power sources.
Very interesting. I'm wondering whether distance and "direction" are an issue here? That is: over large distances (how) would (light speed) latency translate into phase change if "downstream stabilization" suddenly becomes "upstream".
(Sorry for asking such a poorly stated question that I really haven't thought through — I know very little about electricity and you seem to understand quite a lot about this subject.)
Someone have a link to 101 power transmission? I find this fascinating.

I'm lithuanian and this is false propaganda, Lithuania was independant before Rusian occupation back before the world wars and in between the World Wars, unless you consider Stalin and Hitler splitting lands as "purchasing".
