before so-called occupation Latvia had been a part of Russian Empire for 200 years

Not anymore. Get used to it.


Why do you say this to me? I would prefer actually to get rid of a couple of more peoples within Russian borders. But after they got separated, free and independent, they cannot claim that they were innocent victims of some aliens invading them out of the blue. They were part of the same state and the same history and they must take their share of responsibility for the rise of communism in the Russian empire since they were part of this empire for 200 years. Latvians as well as Ukrainians, Georgians and other peoples of the former USSR are every bit as responsible for the communist atrocities as Russians. Get used to it.

TGJ there forgets about the Latvian Rifles and how they helped put Lenin in power and were his body guards. He equally forgets, conviniently, about the 15th Latvian SS Legion. How nice to have such a selective memory.
