Do Latvians say the same to non-Russian tourists too? /s

as a latvian I’m honestly am a bit torn about this. while i really do feel about people being deported for political reason. on the other hand i’ve met hardcore imperial foreigners who just refuse to integrate. and i’ve been discriminated while applying to a job in my capital for not knowing russian good enough (i did learn it at school). and i don’t want fellow citizens to go through it in the future.
bonus: there are legit safety concerns, because russian citizens have been used as a pretext for invasion. so maybe for the safety of everyone we have to peacefully remove some.
i wish this wasn’t the case

If you let them integrate and form a social construct with their language they will become stronger. Then one day ruzzia will come to save these oppressed ruzzians and their language. You need to destroy it at the roots.

In their mind they are still living in the Soviet Union and have no intention to change.

Does this apply to people who live there for decades and aren’t the first generation of people in Latvia?

Latvia has been very patient with them. Time’s up.

This clearly constitutes genocide under UN definition (which all European countries signed into law as an international treaty). Happy to see that the EU is fine with such heinous crimes against humanity. Europeans should talk less about Israel and focus on completing its own genocide.

This is just ethic cleansing, deport those with links to the russian government, not 3rd generation babies

She lived there for 60 years. It’s enough time to learn basic language skills. Which illustrates that Latvia has a parallel society where people don’t even need to fully integrate.
Ukraine did the same with East Ukraine just letting millions sustain their own culture and society. In Russian TV such enclaves are seen as pure Russian and hence valid targets. It doesn’t help that most of these Russian enclaves watch Russian state TV and hence like Putin. Making them often agree with the annexation ideas made on TV.
But main issue is that they don’t teach their kids the local language. You can have a 15 year old not be able to speak Latvian as she went to Russian school. That’s like 50% of potential jobs and academic degrees taken away hence she is basically forced to always stay poor and live in this Russian speaking area. With 60 year olds you may feel it’s fine. With teens it’s quite frankly purposeful manipulation as they learn language extremely fast if you just give them access to it.

thats very reasonable. if they want to be a part of the country, learn the language – otherwise leave. it surely isnt too much to ask.
