It was very unfair not to give the citizenship even to the third generation automatically.
They got the best apartments outside of normal queue (which they were allowed to keep) - while latvians had to live in communal apartments, and also many other privileges (like special shops where you could buy deficit goods that were unavailable to locals) at that time - Was this fair?
And people who are born in independent Latvia (after 1991) to non-citizens can get citizenship if their parents wish so (they just have to fill some forms and that's all - I bet that Russian TV channels that say that Latvia is a fascistic country - does not tell you this.).

and many people left Latvia.
Yes, they run away from occupying red army and fleed to the West.
At some level you have to like Russian language or culture, or you wouldn't be at this forum.
Russian culture is one thing - I'm not against it.
Occupation by foreign army and ethnic cleansing - another...

Hanna - I have visited Latvian nationalist forums.
And many of them (most radical) think that all soviet time migrants should be deported from Latvia.
The same thing that Chechens did to Russians in their own country:

From 23% to 3% in 20 years.
My views are too moderate for them...

You can't actually say "I don't stand for immigrants flooding the country with their culture, except for the immigrants X". Think about it.
Yes Hanna - it is hypocritical that you do not like Somalis and afghans which your democratically elected government allowed in your country.
But you do not have anything against people that were intentionally sent to Latvia by totallitarian occupying power to weaken and oppress our country.
