But I can help you with the<u> pieces of evidence</u>. So, when you'll choose this evidence, I suggest you look at the <u>individual first actions before he or she be considered important for western society, and compare to what made him/she important.</u> Do you see? <u>You can explain trough this method why is important to care about this person.</u> Another suggestion I can give you is about the "humanity" of these heroes. <u>Try to explain on your pieces of evidence the failures of them, but that in the end, they could do something to the world.

Explanation:
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania cannot really trust Russia (the leader of the Commonwealth of Independent States) as Russia forcibly made those states part of the Soviet Union and and did allow for democracy there. That's why they don't want to be part of CIS. They can afford not to be due to their location in Europe, next to western Europe, so then can claim help from western Europe in case of Russian Invasion (unlike Kazakhstan for example).
