You're a piece of work! Latvia was under the Russian boot for almost 200 years until WWI and the Revolution loosened their grip. The Russians did their best to destroy the language and culture of this people.

You don't seem to grasp the Russians were under the boot of the communists. It was not the ordinary Russian on the street who subgated Latvia. Is that so hard for you to grasp, or are you likewise a bigot?

Latvia was first occupied by the Russians in 1710! The Communists didn't come to power until 1917.
