where did you read or learn about that as i never realised that as i always read that the Anatolian languages in eastern Turkey were the oldest Indo-European branch going back to 3000 to 4000 b.c.
"Lithuanian is considered to oldest surviving Indo-European language and is thought to have retained some features of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) such as pitch-accent and a complex inflexional case system. Some words in Lithuanian even resemble words in Sanskrit and Latin."
Region : Baltic.
Balt - the mixed races , the mixed blood.
For example vzBАLTat - mix, the confused speech and other . It is possible to be convinced of it having looked at photos.
The major difference in the history of Latvia and Lithuania is that Latvia was conquered by Germans known as the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century, while Lithuania maintained its independence until a royal wedding led to a merger with Poland in the late 14th century. The era of the Northern Crusades is fascinating and relatively little-known.
...and Livonian Order ( that was a subsidiary of the Teutonian Order) was fighting Russians, naturally. Even back in those times.

RIGA, Latvia — A left-wing, pro-Russia party captured the most votes in Latvia’s parliamentary elections, marking a milestone for the tiny Baltic nation where parties distrustful of Russia have dominated all national elections since independence 20 years ago.
With some 95 percent of ballots counted early Sunday, Harmony Center, a party catering to the country’s ethnic Russian minority, had 29.2 percent of the vote.
WOW.
(And in Russia too I sense this year is going to be very interesting as far as elections go...)
