Can't say about Estonia, but Latvian defence plan until spring of 1939 was all made to protect from the invasion from the South - from Prussia, as relations with Germany were tense after WWI and a short war with Germany in late 1919 - mid 1920. And then... ooops, realisation came, that we have another potential adversary too, but it was already too late.
Besides there are no swamps, dense forests and cliffs like on border of Russia and Finland, I've been on the border of Latvia and Russia back in Soviet times - it was an open field (by late 1980s it was no longer a collective farm field, but a privately rented one - at the latest stages USSR tried to save itself by sort of imitating partially free market like China did, yet failed, as reforms came too late), then there is a small ditch, actually a small river, more like a spring - one can easily jump or even simply step over it, and on the other side of it that's Russia.
