@struvrim7637 they are occupants. A majority of russians in Latvia are not willing to learn the official language respect the culture

@struvrim7637 Maybe because you are a citizen of a different country ergo respect and earn it.

@Ekluzivs_Piens No it isn't. The letters are latin unlike in the russian language. It is hard but which language isnt? Take polish for example- just as hard. It is not an excuse to not learn the native and official language. I think most russians still think that the land belongs to russia. Latvia was occupied in the 20th and 19th century. Latvians wish to be independant, with their own history and culture.

@egorrak8056 Why wouldnt they? The russian schools are a relic of soviet occupation. Remember, Latvia is an independant country with its own language, history and culture. You don't find russian schools in Poland, Estonia, Sweden or Austria for that matter. Why would you find russian schools in Latvia? Latvian schools and education only

@SimplyMartin Respect for those russians who strive to learn the language. I suppose that you didn't find a problem learning dutch or english. I simply don't understand those who live in Latvia for multiple years and don't make any effort in respecting and learning the language. I think the problem is that even after the soviet occupation and the independance of Latvia, some russians still think that Latvia belongs to Russia. Its not. It has its own language, culture and history.
