    I mean, the bit about Russians getting superior housing in Latvia, and some cultural or language insensitivites.
    And what did this superiority consist of? What made Russians superior over Latvians?

    Immigrants from Soviet Union did not need to learn local languages - Russian was enough and only Latvians needed to know both.
    Also as I said - immigrants got apartments outside of normal queue.
    Soviet ideology was basically the same as in Nazi Germany.
    Only "master race" were Russians not Germans.

    В обычных странах церковь отделена от государства, а в России - от Бога.
