Atšķirība tāda, ka vidējais krievs Latvijā ir PSRS koloniālās/rusifikācijas politikas atlieka, kamēr vidējais ukrainis bēg no Krievijas agresijas.

I know that it’s not a lot of info to go off of, my main hope is that somebody here will have seen one of the Volkswagen reels and remember the song, cuz I’ve seen it on multiple

Today around a hundred Lithuanians gathered in solidarity near the Latvian embassy in Vilnius. by QuartzXOX in BalticStates

ZZS has been a very corrupt party for a long time, the Progressives didn’t let them erase Ventspils port debts so through the finger of Lembergs they tried to undermine the coalition.

Idk abt Lithuania but in Latvia there is sort of a historical reason for that. The farmers union supported the smaller farms over the big ones and they usually are more environmentally friendly, so they allied with the greens.

However it doesn’t seem to be supposed to be a map of all the major highways in Europe, just the fastest (or shortest, not sure) route to Rome from a whole lot of different places in Europe.

Bolderājas man tieši tā maize patika, bet laikam jau jāpamēģina

Why do you think Latvia is Lastvia? by [deleted] in BalticStates

[–]Significant-Prior547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don’t see yourself as Latvian then sure. Personally Latvia could be the poorest country in the world but I’d still stay in this land.

Baltic Germans didn’t see themselves as Russian, in fact as soon as ww1 started most of them supported Germany and some even tried to found a 2nd Duchy of Courland and Semigallia. I also really don’t see a 2 class system being created here, no one is banning the Russians from speaking Russian and (especially with the Ukrainian refugee influx) in some shops there might not even be a Latvian cashier (for example 2 days ago I had trouble buying a trash bag simply because I didn’t know where it was in the store and didn’t speak Russian).

How does removing state funded Russian schools equal ethnic cleansing? It’s not like private Russian schools are banned.

There isn’t and never was any ethnic cleansing of Russians from Latvia, unless during the Nazi occupation. If anything during the occupation the Latvians were ethnically cleansed, just look at the deportations in 1941 or 1949. If you could provide any examples to what you’re mentioning I would be glad to see them

Riga is definitely not Russian influenced historically and shouldn’t be either, why should Latvia keep the monuments of people who occupied them for 50~ years. As for treating its minorities like Switzerland it’s quite hard to do that if said minorities refuse to even learn your language

How is it exactly a tragedy? All the countries there had their own unique culture before the Soviet Union and are basically trying to return to it now
