??? No idea what this is referencing, as far as I know nothing like that has happened. The soviets gulaged a lot of people and many fled during that occupation but nothing as dramatic like half the population.
I mean post Soviets, haven't all the Baltic nations seen significant depopulation?
Not really. A lot of Russian citizens left or where made to leave when Estonia got it's independence back but outside of that I don't think there has been a major population shift.
