    Latvia has passed a law that will limit Russian as a language of instruction in schools next year — and put a greater emphasis on Latvian.https://n.pr/2yzOMdG

        This is disgusting russophobic racism, Support of the ethnic purge of Latvia compared with the ethnic minority of the Russians in Latvia whom since the 11th century there. You have obviously no idea from the everyday racism here compared with the Russian minority. I am furious.

        Example Valodas draugs This is an app for android and IOS to denounce russian speaking or reading people and organisations in Latvia. Film take up and by button pressure to the Latvian linguistic police send. Is valid as an announcement. https://itunes.apple.com/lv/app/valodas-draugs/id1334603939?mt=8 …

        Latvian laws. If an ethnic Russian of an ethnic Latvian gets a child, the child is stateless up to his 21st year... Then it can acquire "the Latvian citizenship" with linguistic test, historical test and high costs…. How should one call this differently than Apartheit?

        Perhaps Ms. Krivcova should be reminded her own country used to be Russian speaking when the USSR existed & if that is a priority for her & other compatriots they should move back to Russia & learn in Russian, I’m sure there is enough room for all the dispersed & ample resources.

        Bosinia was the country. Russia was the second language, in elementary.
