Thread: Thousands protests against Putin after Russia vote

Груз 200

I have seen it - good movie

Russia paid the whole ex-USSR debt (including Latvian)

You break it - you buy it :P .
It was Russian own decision to be the USSR successor state (and retain privileges like permanent position in UN Security Council)
Commies for example did not want to pay for Tsar's debts.

You are biting a hand which feeds you
Russia is a one of the major Latvian importers/exporters (10%/14%)

I do not want Russia ruined or something.
I would like Russian government to treat it's citizens well and to be friendly to it's neighbors.
Like Germany - they dropped their imperialistic ambitions and do not want to conquer/oppress their neighbors anymore.
They paid compensations to nazi victims (especially Israel).
And now Germany is one of the best places in the world to live in.

Выражаю вам признательность, как представитель русского народа, за такое снисхождение.

It is already ruined.

They do however have strict rules for Baltic countries workers, including Latvia. And considering that Latvia is EU member that looks quite strange to me
Maybe Germany is one of the best places to live because of that?

Really, what are the rules for Baltic people working in other EU countries? I did not know about that.

I should have written "rules" because it is not rules but just preferences, that's my mistake
TVNET :: Общество - Латвийцев в Германии никто не ждет

Some of my relatives worked in Germany in 90s - way before we joined the EU.
They said that they did not have much problems.
And the only strict rule was - to be able to speak German. (even chekist Putin needed it when he worked there)

Now it is even easier - because there are no border controls and job market is fully open.
