Quest’uomo parla russo ma gira moltissimi video non solo lamentandosi del governo russo ma anche dei russi che vivono in Lettonia. Questo mi confonde perché non è russo anche lui? Difende sempre la sovranità della Lettonia, il che è positivo, così come la cultura, le tradizioni e la lingua lettone, ma quello che mi confonde è che parla in russo. Qui nel video non vuole che il russo sia una seconda lingua ufficiale. Sono confuso da questo. È un lettone che per qualche motivo parla solo russo o è un russo che odia se stesso che difende i lettoni ma per qualche motivo realizza video in russo invece che in lettone?

Do you really think content in r*sski should only be pro-r*sski?
I see nothing wrong with the point of view you described. I am a “Russian speaking Latvian” myself, my mother tongue is Russian and my inner circle was primarily Russian speaking as well when I was a child. I have never been to Russia, nor support Russian inner and outer politics. Yet, I would be most likely classified as “Russian” rather than Latvian, even thought I was born and bread here.
I love Latvian culture and traditions and I stand by the opinion that you should know a language of a country you live in, at least to a certain degree. I don’t support the idea that the second official language should be Russian.
Answering your question – I don’t think there is anything to be surprised of. Such opinions exist among “Russian speaking Latvians”, I don’t think it’s something that unusual. If I’d have to guess, I’d say that most “Russian speaking Latvians” who are younger than ~35 are likely to share the same opinion, it’s just those who are older than this age might still blindly love our neighbour.
Believe it or not there are plenty of primarily Russian-speaking Latvians that don’t like Russia. At the end of the day it is just a language.
Also consider the fact that he is a content creator – it may make more sense to appeal to a Russian speaking, anti-Russia audience than to a Latvian speaking one, purely due to view count/financial incentives.
