WATCH NEXT 👀 'Latvia: Brain Drain' 🇱🇻 Latvia has lost 13% of its population in the last 20 years, 📆 but after the pandemic, there's been an upsurge in the number of young people deciding to return home. Brexit 🇬🇧 is also fuelling the trend, with a third of the Latvian diaspora still living in Great Britain. This film asks: After the population has been shrinking for so long, is it too late to turn the tide? Check it out here 👉 ruclips.net/video/amqp2gU9634/видео.html
Fun fact: Latvia and Estonia is Lutheran Protestant majority. A legacy of the Swedish Empire. The Catholic minority is a legacy of the German Empire. And the Orthodox minority is a legacy of the Russian Empire. The reason why present day Lithuania and Poland never became Protestant or Orthodox but remains Catholic: 1. When Poland was part of Germany and Lithuania was ruled by a German minority. Germany was Catholic. 2. After the Protestant Reformation, Slavic (Polish) settlers was growing faster than Germans in Eastern Germany (Poland) and was even the majority population in the far East. 3. Russian Empire introduces Orthodoxy in to present day Lithuania and Poland. 4. Counter Reformation and inquisition. As well as the religious wars between Protestants and Catholics. Orthodox sided with the Catholics. 5. Soviet Union meant the end of German rule in Lithuania and Poland. Protestants who made up as much as 45% at their peak, started declining faster due to emigration of the German minority and increasing Atheism among the rest of the Protestant population.
check your facts: The European country with the largest Russian-speaking population is Germany. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, many ethnic Germans from Russia and other former Soviet states immigrated to Germany, contributing to a significant Russian-speaking community there. Additionally, Germany has attracted Russian-speaking migrants from various backgrounds over the years

German living in Nimibia are speaking german, and having german culture still after decacdes of living in there. its everybody right to do whatever they likes if it does not cause harm to others.
Most russians (except tiny minority of old believers) are soviet colonists who arrived during occupation. It is their responsibility to integrate and show respect to the native culture
That's the problem. Some of them don't cause harm & nobody cares what they do, what culture follows or what language speaks. We have other people living in this country too. Including Germans. The problem arrise when they do cause harm. And that's the story here. The whole reason why we have Radio in russian is to nanny them so they don't go full fascist watching russian state tv where every other day they draw maps how they gonna invate our country. We have here a soviet colonists who just can't let it go. It's not all russians, not all russian citizens or so called russian-speakers. Problem is neither langauge or passport. Problem is in their heads.

To the east of the Latvian boarder is Mordor, the land of evil

Kindergarden. They take kids to walk and breathe fresh air.
Kiddies going for a walk. They hold on to a line so they don't wander off and get lost and the have vests for drivers to notice them better.

They don't want to stop locally produced Russian broadcasts. Only media originating from Russia are banned.

Namibia is German colony, Latvia is NOT Russian colony. The predominant culture in Latvia is Latvian, while in Namibia is either English or German
Exactly, excluded women, what is the Russia culture in riga?
Funny to see the cult of Navalny, who was a Russian nationalist.
they are just stupid ;)
He changed his politics to be more of an anti-corruption populist.
That means he became the face of the opposition against Putin.
That's why.
@@realhawaii5ohe changed his underwear thats abt it, a snake doesnt change.
@@tonyhunt9001 Well, yeah, ofc
I'm a social-democrat, I agree with you 😅
It was made by russians living in Latvia. Believe me, we're not fans of Navalny.
Crazy how russophobia is openly encouraged

Why its crazy? The thing you call rusophobia in europe we call rusonaziphobia. Its a positive thing to dislike evil, thats what we teach children

back in 40's we used to teach kids that communism and nazism were/are evil, why should be different for 2024/putin's russia?
There is no any Latvian culture. Who in Europe can name any Latvian poet, writer, musician, scientist etc?
who cares about Europeans "thinking"
Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a lasagna recipe
