My own view - there is no need for hysteria, the "bumbleaton" of permanently switching all education to Latvian two years from any given date (like kicking a can down the road) continues and most resident non-Latvians speak some Latvian. No apocalypse⬇️ | |

In effect, there is no evidence that the Latvian language is existentially and imminently threatened by the current presence of Russian, which makes one wonder why, aside from anger over Ukraine, such a fervent campaign against any use of the "terrorist language"⬇️ | |

And so - Latvian right wing wants to exert the most brutal authoritarian control over its "front" in the so-called hybrid war of migrant border crossings by 1) legal grey area pushbacks 2) let them die in the forest, no aid under any conditions ⬇️ | |

Once again, a rightwinger jumps on a completely factually accurate story about two Latvian NGO staff criminally charged for going without a permit into a closed border zone to meet border crosses who came via Belarus from Syria.⬇️ | |

To be blunt, for understandable reasons, much of the Latvian twitter ultraright know JACK SHIT about all that I have mentioned and just scream marxist, commie, traitor, liberast - where and when have we (ex-) emigres heard that before??⬇️ | |

The point was to 1) to get exposure to contemporary Latvian culture as it was in reality (hopefully with a critical eye) 2) to bring some Latvian culture workers to the West, expose them to our reality and leave some impact (still debatable)⬇️ | |

I remember that in the early-70s, the right-wing emigre dogs were set upon me and a Latvian-Canadian professor for a public discussion of the idea of "satellite country" status for Latvia as it broke their "anti-Communist" framework⬇️ | |

20 years later, this came up in some of the murky but interesting ideas of "sovereignty within a new union" or "economic sovereignty" raised by the Latvian Popular Front in the late 1980s⬇️ | |

We were also the first generation of Latvian immigrants (came as toddlers or born in the US) to feel entirely at home in American society and so many of us would probably not pick up and head for Latvia should the chance arise - and this proved true⬇️ | |

Based on the context of the late 60s and the justifications for the Vietnam debacle, I said young US Latvians would never be "anti-Communists" in that sense, nor ardent fighters for Latvian independence (in the rightwing anti-Commie framework)⬇️ | |

What is important for them is to deflect and confuse. The Latvian fight for greater women's rights is here, not in Kabul, and against any possible authoritarianism - it is in the still relatively free Latvian political arena, not Quixotic crusades to Minsk from Latvia.⬇️ | |

The Latvian right is unaware of or indifferent to struggles by women against the Taliban and as far as confronting authoritarians, they are authoritarian themselves and shrug at the confrontations in Belarus⬇️ | |

When the reasonable issue of NGO and media access to the Latvian-Belarus border, to see first hand what is or isn't happening, the right says "go to Minsk, ask for access" - to what? Prove that authoritarians are authoritarian?⬇️ | |

And of course, the debate lands on the old accusation that any disagreement or criticism of radical right Latvian views is "communism" or infection with "redness" in my American university. These people haven't taken Politics 101. | |

So yes, we should push for more public and commercial use of Latvian, but not with a blowtorch method that actually hides a general disgust and contempt for all things Russian and Russian. If, like many watching events in Ukraine, one starts to hate Russians then say so. | |

That population got a 30-year "period of grace" on everyone of them learning Latvian as successive governments, some with nationalist parties, all ethnic Latvians, bumbled around with switching all public school teaching to only Latvian. So who what at fault?⬇️ | |

While still in Russia, @tvrain pushed limits within an authoritarian system but avoided a crackdown by not showing Crimea on weather maps, not calling for the dismemberment of Russia, etc which makes it "imperialist" to Latvian nationalists⬇️ | |

So now, despite statistics showing that English is exerting more pressure on Latvian language use than Russian, there is a frenetic campaign to completely eradicate Russian from all public and commercial life - from websites to powdered soup labels, signage, you name it..⬇️ | |

Another domestic issue is the ethnic Russian population, where, with nationalists in almost every government since the 1990s, switching the school system to teaching in only Latvian has ALWAYS been - next year or the year after⬇️ | |
