I also have a channel for my English-speaking audience! Subscribe now and watch my videos dubbed in English: https://vrlmv.com/HLJkPq Is Latvia the most "Russian" country in the world after Russia? According to statistics, more than a quarter of its population is Russian; there are no such percentages anywhere else in the world. At the same time, Latvia has long been a member of NATO and the EU, while the Russian language has no official status here, and many Russians are "non-citizens" and do not have the right to vote. Latvia always comes first to support sanctions against Russia and holds marches of SS veterans. Here they remember the Gulag, support the Maidan and let the Meduza news website work. At the same time, a third of the population still regrets the collapse of the USSR. So what is it like - the most Russian Baltic? I went, checked everything myself and brought you a new video.
