Warum Hunderten Russen jetzt die Ausweisung aus Lettland droht | DW-Nachrichten

Quite a good report, seems quite objective.

Can I get a take from you latvians.

Why is your government doing this? To start with I personaly find extremely objectionable that Latvia did not offer citizenship to all ressidents whn it seceeded from the USSR, and now to be taking away established rights, and expeling people who have had premenant ressidency since the countries inception…

This all is reminicent of a similar episode in my countries (Slovenia) history, a masterclass in violation of human rights, when permenant ressidents who originated in other republics of Yugoslavia and chose not to or did not manage to obtain citizenship in the chaos of the illegal secession were simply deleted from ressidency roles, thus becomin non-persons. It seems to me like pribaltic states are just dubbeling down on this abhorant nationalism of the 90s.
