I can understand that some people dislike the Russians because of the bad old days, but as far as I understand, many Russians still live in Latvia. so I can also understand why they want their language to be official.
ReplyDeleteAgree - much more nice world if people could tolerate their neighbours!
ReplyDeleteI know the bad russian history in Latvia, but then all europe should hate the germans and the danish and swedish eachother (we still do but only in football :)
There is talk of making spanish a second language here in the USA... my husband is Latvian, his father came from the 'old' country in the early 1930s...
ReplyDeleteHow did it go? The referendum I mean.
ReplyDeleteRussian language didn't get official status, of course. It just won't happen - so let's speak latvian :)
