Reading up on Lithuanian and Belarussian history, anon realised that the two of them have some serious problems, of which one is Russia.
Did you know?
What would eventually become Belarus was originally called Kiev, or Kievan-Rus. When Russia was invaded by the Mongols in the 13th century the region was badly affected. At this point, the principalities were incorporated into The Grand Duchy of Lithuania.
On February 2, 1386, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Kingdom of Poland were joined in a personal union through a marriage of their rulers. The two countries became extremely close, fighting the Battle of Grunwald together; in 1569 the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was formed.
After this, the Russian Empire attempted to invade the Commonwealth specifically to regain the regions of Ukraine and Belarus. The first of two campaigns was lead by Ivan the III. No joke.
...The second campaign succeeded.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was ended under duress from Austria, Prussia and Russia in 1795. The Lithuanian lands were annexed by the Russian Empire.
The Russian October Revolution, in which the Soviets seized power, occured in 1917, while the Russian civil war extended about from then until 1921. It was during this time of turmoil that the Litbel Soviet Socialist Republic was made (1919). It lasted all of 9 months before the Polish-Soviet War tore the country in two, and Liet ran away.
In 1944, Russia invaded Lithuania again (pushing away the German forces therein), this time as the Soviet Russia of WWII that we all know and love.
The Berlin Wall fell in 1989.
One year later, on March 11 1990, Lithuania became the first Soviet republic to declare its renewed independence.
Belarus declared its independence one year later.

Such a great fic. Heavy and full of history -- just how I like my Hetalia fills. Lithuania's fixation on Belarus being doll-like and perfect and like-a-sister-but-not-really is wonderfully unsettling.
Somewhere, Lithuania had envied Ivan, because a little girl had walked through the snow just to be with him.

This is one of THE best kink meme stories I have EVER read. I can't even express how good it is. Half way through I was thinking, "You could turn this into a classic novel like Wuthering Heights or War and Peace, but with countries as characters." It's just that good. And the the way you incorporated the historical events into it is amazing. I can sit here and write forever about how much I enjoyed reading this and never do the greatness of this fic justice. I will store it in my vault of most favorite Hetalia stories and recommend it to anyone who is looking for a good Hetalia fic.
