The deputy of the European Parliament, the co-chairman of the Russian Union of Latvia, Miroslav Mitrofanov, said that Latvia will be more favorable to Russia if relations between Russia and the US improve. He stressed that "the Latvian elite is very sensitive to force" and is ready to immediately "change shoes" when changing the international situation. "They always did. This also applies to the events of 1940, that is, the incorporation of Latvia into the USSR. When it was beneficial to change the orientation and bend under the strong, the Latvian ruling people always did it, "Mitrofanov told Rubaltic. en. He recalled that during the 50 years of the Soviet period, the interaction of the Latvian elite and Soviet power was absolutely conflict-free, and in the 1990s. the same people completely reoriented to the West and switched to anti-Russian positions. After joining the European Union and NATO, the former Baltic republics consistently pursue an anti-Russian policy. According to the recently adopted law in Latvia, by 2021 all educational institutions are obliged to stop training in Russian. In the country, a frankly discriminatory policy towards Russian-speaking residents is being carried out:

the institution of non-citizens is being preserved, so are the former citizens of the Soviet Union who stayed in Latvia after declaring its independence. About 250 thousand. неграждан, constantly living in Latvia, are infringed in the rights, reminds RIA of "News". It should be noted that many residents of the Baltic States are increasingly nostalgic about the life in the USSR.

Not everyone likes the complete "Latvianization" of life in the country and the infringement of the rights of national minorities.
