    I'd always choose to live in Latvia's countryside instead of Russia's and not just because I'm Latvian
    1) As I said, on average salaries are still higher in Latvia than Russia
    2) in Latvia's countryside I'm still just 200 km away from cheap airline ticket to West European capitals where I can work without permits and hiding, deep in Russia you just don't have that possibility
    Many Latvians learn Scandinavian languages, it's weird for Latvian not to know two foreign languages and many speak 3 at least to some extent (Russian, English, German) or more, many people have opportunities to study in Scandinavia, Great Britain, Germany or go on Erasmus exchange. You wouldn't be able to do so, if you were Russian citizen, at least it would be several times harder...

    • @OnRock19
      @OnRock19 10 лет назад +5

      That's quite true. I can tell a Russian from a deep province, visa to Europe/USA even for a short visit is very hard to get, you must provide tons of papers and proof of making decent money so they see you don't plan to escape mother Russia, not to mention the closest visa center is at least 1000 km away. To study in EU you must pay several times higher of what the members of European Union pay. We're talking numbers that are often unimaginably high by Russian standards so it's nearly impossible unless you've got rich parents. In short, living in deep Russia is basically a curse and to make something out of yourself one must go through hell, excel in every way possible and be extremely ambitious.

    Latvians are dying out at super speeds. In comparison from a year 2000 to 2015 there has been a colossal 40% decrease of young children attending the first grade in schools. Mainly because big part of Latvians do not respect their own country, refuse to stay and build it strong, but rather flee to UK, Ireland and Scandinavia to get an instant better life. (why try hard if you can go somewhere else and everything is on the plate already) Somehow after gaining independence they thought that their country in 20 years will suddenly be as rich and stable as western world without not much hard work and input from themselves, and by so I mean strengthening the democracy, fighting against corruption etc. But they run away. The only excuse for them is that they send some part of their income back home, but the thing they dont understand is that if you are not participating in government elections, if you are not active politically, if you are not on the ground as a consumer and a generator of ideas, career, employment, protest and change in general - the country is going to procrastinate and eventually fail. Because of the low voting activity pro russian politicians are gaining more influence year by year, and because of the enormous emigration and very low demography its estimated that Latvians will be a minority in their own country in 30 to 50 years.

    I like how straightforward Latvian society is. I live in the heartland of US, Ohio, and I think faux conversation is saccharine and frustrating. I appreciate they keep to themselves in public settings but most sincere to the loved ones in their lives. It's tiresome to go through the whole day and play niceties with strangers. Maybe one day I can visit! I wish the country good fortune in the future.

    It's petty when you see how people are starving because of the inability of government and it is not only Latvian problem. Before the arrival of European crisis not only Latvia has large public debts. Unfortunately Margaret Thatcher's words were true when she said that the problem with socialism was that it was spending plenty of other people's money until money was exhausted. Despite the crisis, countries of EU ( for example Latvia ) have not tried to save money, and they increase taxes for the reason of recover. As the author says: "They are many voices in one small country." and every voice must be taken into account! Love you Latvia and wish you all the best. kind regards from Georgia

    An immigrant myself once I feel striked every time hearing an idea of going abroad for good due to economic reasons. My father and my brother settled abroad for good. I believe forced migration is not a solution here. Looks as though the developed world roots out the population of less developed countries. How long could this continue to happen? Do all of big city planners ever account for the demographic situation? Meaning, that some countries/cities become overpopulated anthills with no air to breathe, while other countries look more like abandoned fields where only wind weaves its song through the rare leaves. One needs to rethink development strategies for big cities and countries. Or we might end up with London, Berlin, Paris...or any other huge city swallowing up the population of smaller countries in the form of migration. That's a huge reallocation of human resources that brings costs on the downside for both, overpopulated countries/cities and small countries/cities.

      I wouldn't worry about racism too much, latvians typically aren't aggressive, perhaps a curious stare here or there, though exceptions always exist, be it Latvia or anywhere. As long as common sense is a friend, it should be fine to visit! Certainly there are hostile elements here and there, tracksuit wearing skinhead wannabies mouthing off in russian(not necessarily russian), but those fellows are hostile to pretty much everyone, not quite racism you know! And in that regard over the last few years situation has improved lots( though the problem has not disappeared altogether). Can't vouch for every latvian and situation might differ in rural regions( honestly, Riga is a fairly cosmopolitan city, should be perfectly fine for a visit), but I don't think colour of one's skin would be much of a problem here at all.

      Sikhumbuzo Tom It will probably depend on where you go. As you are black you will face wierd looks from any person after 50yrs and you may face racism in several clubs... Just sayin, it depends on where you go. Best thing is to know where to go. I will be honest, there are many cases where both young and old people do racist things.
      You just need to understand history of Latvia. There are probably more then half of country that havent seen real black man or chinese... :)

    The depopulation of Latvia is way way higher than stats of death and negative natality.
    People are leaving this place or being largely killed.

      burns83 Largely killing? whre you get that :D In Latvia, Riga is much safier to go walk at midnight than in London or NY.
      I know many many people who left Latvia to work in UK and other cuntries.
      And you know what ? I am happy they left, because they all were lazy, drinkers and loved narcotics.... We doon`t need bad people in Latvia... all hard workers are staying

    • @burns83
      @burns83 9 лет назад

      Look at the numbers and see how they make no sense.
      I mean large killed as a 'no other alternative' saying.
      The numbers would have to be made up and for what purpose? Makes no sense.

    maybe, all the signs in Braille (on ATM's, for example) should also be removed, because Braille is not official language of Latvia :D

    Hallo OnRock19...I am from Netherlands...I was very stirred by your narrative of how your perspective is from the deep Russian province,and yes the way you describe it,is the way I always expected it to be,your description is even worse....for me and so many Europeans, Russia is an eery white big spot on the planet, although it is geographically so close...and is nobody ever wondering why no serious person ever wants to emigrate to Russia...give it a thought...I feel very sorry for the likes of you, and it also makes me think a bit more differentiated about Russians...but that won't help you in no way.....greetings from Holland...
