TBH yes, the situation with the Russian language in Latvia is horrible.
People who have been born there cannot receive a passport until passing the Latvian language exam.
Not that it is worth another war or military operation.
Edit:
Like other ex-soviet republics did not have such restrictions and it kinda turned out to be fine. In Kazakhstan and Armenia they still speak Russian, I claim that the Russian literacy is on the same level as Latvia.
Poor Stalin, he had no choice but to do a secret deal with the Nazis to split up eastern Europe, and then he had to follow up with as much of it has possible after the Germans backstabbed him /s

That’s not the case anymore. All children born to non-citizens since 2020 get Latvian nationality. Without needing to bomb anyone to shit.
As far as colonisers go, Russians in the Baltic got off easy.
Kudos to Latvian government for admitting the mistake (at least partially).
Ahaha, colonisers. Guess having Baltic states unified under Ostland would’ve played better
Yes, the two only alternatives, German occupation, and Russian occupation. Or maybe the lesser evil is still evil.
Genuinely that was the only two options at the time.

What was the lesser evil of these two?
