    There is a popular joke in Latvia.
    "Ja Latvijā būs divas oficiālās valodas, tad tikai latvieši runās divās valodās."
    "If there are two official languages in Latvia, then only Latvians will speak in two languages".
    Soviet times were basically like that.

    It doesn't help these Russians that the Baltic languages are REALLY strange and probably incredibly hard to learn. They're not Slavic languages and they're not Germanic either...
    Эстонский язык совершенно не похож на русский, а латышский и литовский довольно близки, по крайней мере в грамматике.

    First week of collecting signatures to make russian official ended - and only ~11 000 people signed.
    They need another ~130 000 signatures to start a referendum - looks like that most russians simply do not care about this issue.
