Putin literally thinks these are “fake countries” and are still part of Russia.
Mad Vlad is bringing the Evil Empire back
It is a major inconvenience if you are under a red notice. In most situations you have to appear before the judge who of course clears you of a phony diplomatically motivated charges but it may take a couple of days in a locker.
For example you might be a Russian on your way to Mexico and switching plane in Frankfurt.
Now imagine your red notice has fired in Germany. You’ll certainly miss your plane and won’t be at your destination on time.
Ukraine’s Fault.
Are you talking about that - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnold_Meri#Involvement_in_deportation_and_the_charge_of_genocide - right?
In August 2007, Estonian Western Circuit Prosecutor’s Office formally charged Arnold Meri with genocide, for his admitted role in organising the deportation of 251 Estonian civilians from the island of Hiiumaa to the Novosibirsk region of Siberia.
Organizing mass murder is a bit more than "serving".
Next time, simply type “waah” and save yourself the trouble.
No, travel notice has addressed Latvian actions regarding 1989 events.
What is wrong with what, rude?
Apparently, prosecuting Russians who participated in genocide is not “wrong,” according to you—and opens the door for Russia prosecuting the citizens of a sovereign nation for refusing to be conscripted into its military.
No, why won’t they prosecute known criminals? I don’t think that any personnel stationed in Latvia may be charged with the crime of ‘occupation’. Of course it is as wrong to prosecute Latvian draft dodgers, though it makes more sense legally as far as they were a Soviet citizens obliged to serve at the time. And if you think I’m defending Russian actions you are plain wrong. Both are wrong.

In your first post you said Estonia and now you say Latvia and 1989. You must mean January 1991 in Lithuania where KGB killed 14 peaceful demonstrators and wounded around 140.
Shame on you. You should know your heroes better. It is Mikhail Golovatov - ex-KGB officer in charge of attacking the civilians - whom the Lithuanians put the red notice out in 2010.
See if you can spot your darling in a footage of that event - http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=dae_1221356003

Sorry I was wrong, it was Latvia.
Incidentally, the one Soviet casualty allegedly was an officer who refused the order to fire on the protestors. I've never found anything out about him, or whether the story is true . . . but if it is, he deserves a statue in Vilnius.
Or Lithuania?:) I ve actually been to all of the above and still can’t sort it out.
Just FO.
Incident of friendly fire. KGB Spetznas branch Alpha Group was taking over a TV tower and they shot one of their own by accident.
He was Viktor Viktorovich Shatskikh (b. 1961) – Lieutenant Group ‘A’ Service Office MTO 7 of the KGB and he does not deserve a statue in Lithuania. Soviet Union awarded him the Order of Red Banner posthumously.
The Museum of Occupations in Estonia depicts the county's suffering under the two plagues of the 20th century, Nazism and Communism.
Unfortunately, the source of the later plague, Russia, has never become a normal country, and now, led by a unstable thug, seems intent on again tormenting its former victims.
