I completely agree with the ideas which nulle expressed there it's a real truth Lithuanians also do not celebrate 9th of May. It would be just terrible to celebrate that day because since it our hopes to be independent was almost completely burried.
Anyway, while reading this forum thread I started to think why Russians are still staying and living in Latvia if life there for them is so bad and they are so much discriminated there?
And, Markus, I think that it's actually very fair that Russian isn't official language in Latvia, because Latvians, the same way like Lithuanians, Estonians or any other nation in the world have their own language, so for them there is no need to make Russian their official language.
Talking about interaction between Baltic countries I wouldn't say that it's very huge and active, it might be better But anyway, at least we Lithuanians really like other Baltic countries and most of us have very possitive attitude towards Latvia and Estonia. We even usually call them our brothers. So, I think that these Baltic countries can allways expect support from Lithuania no matter what would happen.
And one more thing. I guess it's really a good thing that when Lithuania regained independence Russia took Kaliningrad region for themselves... If they didn't do that, then there would be a huge minority of Russians in Lithuania who would start blaming us that we are nationalists, or that weare discriminating Russian minority in Lithuania as they are doing now in Latvia... really it would be just another headache.
