Thread: Regarding Russian in the Baltic States

It's not true basically, but you entitled to your opinion.

Maybe in Russia it was not true (russian speakers were "master race" after all).
But in occupied territories it was like that.
Soviet long term goal was to make russian speaking "soviet nation".
And looks like they already succeeded in Belarus.

Mishau - what does http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuperjanov_Battalion have to do with nazis?

No it's your wishful thinking. Soviet long term goal was totally different. "A spectre is haunting Europe-the spectre of Communism" - the author is?
Please read some history books first in order not to seem so ignorant. You could start with Second International for instance, though I don't think you'll ever bother -- much easier to throw uneducated inventions here.

I think Latvians would rather give their whole country to the USA as a vassal state and sell themselves as slaves to international capitalism, than read a single word written by that particular author, or even look at the front page of the book in question...

In the nowaday world, those who are not "slaves of international capitalism" are slaves of hunger, thirst and cold weather. It's good and very convenient to speak out on how evil those corporations and businesses are while you in fact use them everyday to maintain the basics of your life. Go move to a third world country and live on up to $3 a day, then you can say how much you enjoy being out of the "big greedy filthy capitalism".
