Yes, that‘s right... a lot of things has changed to the good side in Baltic states during these 20 years of independance and this is why we are really happy that there is no USSR today...
and if you Hanna say that somewhere in Latvia you see a building which is quite run down and restaurants doesn‘t seem to be fancy enough to you, then try to imagine how Baltic states looked during occupation when we were part of USSR and faced all these repressions...
And it seems really silly when you are comparing Liepaja and Minsk maybe you first of all should find out how many times Minsk is bigger than Liepaja....
