Most of the Russians were planted there intentionally by the Soviet government in order to change Latvian ethnic identity and it's sense of nationalism, so they would be easier to control, as well as a future excuse to invade in order to "protect the persecuted Russian minority." They don't learn Latvian because they know it's only a matter of time until Russia invades and takes over again and Russian becomes the dominant language again and native Latvians are FORCED to learn and speak Russian.

@ares8866 phobia means an irrational or baseless fear. Being afraid of a Russian invasion IS NOT IRRATIONAL. They just invaded Ukraine for the same justification they'll use to invade the Baltics.

@ares8866 What did the Ukrainians do to cause a Russian invasion? Everyone knows the Russian minorities in the former Soviet "republics" were implanted in order to both weaken the host country's sense of ethnic and national identity as well as to be used as a catalyst to justify a future Russian invasion to "protect the persecuted Russian minority." It's a Russian lie and everyone knows it except for a few very naïve Russians who've never read a history book and who are so gullible to believe Russian propaganda that Russia has only "liberated" not invaded. If Russia is just "liberating" all of these other nations, why is it that they are all so willing to fight to the death in order to stop them? Russian soldiers were shocked when the Finns fought to hard to stop their invasion in the 1940's because they had been convinced that the Finns would welcome them with "open arms" as liberators. The Russian people are among the worlds' most gullible and misinformed people. Is it not true that the fear of a Russian invasion is justified? How many neighboring sovereign nations has Russia (Soviets) invaded over it's history? Russia is a power hungry and aggressive totalitarian country, and has been for a lot of it's history. Latvians aren't "settling accounts." They have always seen Russians as invaders and they're trying to accomplish two things. Remove or nullify the current Russian invaders (even Russian people are invaders who would support a Russian invasion), and to show Russia that they aren't Russian nor do they have even an affinity for Russia but are their own distinct and separate ethnic identity. Russia has used "ethnic unity" to justify invasions too, including Ukraine. By the way, if the Ukrainians are truly Russia's brothers, why are you trying to kill all of them?
