New steps towards the assimilation of Russians in the EU and NATO member states
FROM 29 June 1 NATO Air Force exercises held in Latvia on July Ramstein Alloy. Ask, for what NATO trains at the very borders of the Russian Federation, pointless - answer, for the sake of "peace and stability". And here Riga can not do without victories over the "internal enemy". Russians and Russia are considered such an enemy of the Latvian nationalist regime for three decades..
Latvian National Electronic Media Council decided to ban broadcasting of seven channels of RT group: RT, RT HD, RT Arabic, RT Spanish, RT Documentary HD, RT Documentary, RT TV. The official explanation of the ban sounds absurd: "Having received the information, that under the actual control of Dmitry Kiselyov, EU sanctioned, the most influential Russian channel RT is located, The National Council for Electronic Media decided to ban the distribution of seven RT programs in Latvia. We will urge other media regulators in the EU to do the same. ”.
In November 2019 years, Latvia has already banned the broadcast of nine Russian television channels, among which were entertaining, and apolitical, such as the Beaver Design Channel or the Cinema House. Someone in Riga hurts Russian speech from TV screens.
These were the television channels of a neighboring country., and now Riga intends to completely eliminate its own television in Russian (recall: Russian is native to 40% Latvian population). The head of the same National Council on Electronic Media Ivar Abolins suggested 1 January 2021 years translate all the programs in Russian into the only one that has a program in Russian (news, talk show, entertainment) TV channel LTV7. Previously, Riga similarly closed the Russian-language First Baltic TV channel..
Latvian Seimas building
Now Latvian wrestlers with all Russian forbid St. George ribbons. 3 on June this issue was discussed by the commission of the Latvian Seimas on human rights and public affairs. “In this symbol we see a threat to the democratic system and security, - stated the chairman of the commission Artuss Kaimins. “The ban of the St. George ribbon will limit the manifestations of the ideology of the USSR”. Commission approves initiative, despite objections from the law bureau of the Sejm and the police. Although the police noted, that such a ban violates human rights, lawmakers in democratic Latvia consider only representatives of the “titular nation” and the “fraternal family of European peoples” to be people.
Alexander Gaponenko
“There is no correct theoretical definition of what the ribbon of St. George is for Russians, - commented on the situation, an activist of the Russian movement, doctor of economic sciences, publicist Alexander Gaponenko. – But with her help, people position themselves as Russian. Anyway, in Latvia it is. And when these characters are forbidden, the meaning of such an action is, to expeditiously complete the assimilation of the Russian population ".
Gaponenko himself is now in court, two processes go against him at once. A scientist and prominent figure in the Russian community is accused of “National, ethnic and racial hatred ”, as well as "Activities, against the Republic of Latvia ” and “Assistance to a foreign state in its activities, against the Republic of Latvia ”. For this, Gaponenko was already arrested., he served four months in prison, where he was thrown for, what he said and wrote about discrimination against Russians and the glorification of Nazism in Latvia. In addition to Alexander Gaponenko, other prominent representatives of the Russian community of Latvia were also included in the millstone of Latvian curvature.: freelance journalist Yuri Alekseev, philologist and social activist Alexander Filey. First judge for articles, critical of nationalist authorities, the second - for social activities in defense of the Russians and congratulations on social networks on the anniversary of Latvia's joining the USSR ...
Yuri Alekseev
“The situation is developing by inertia, Yura Alekseeva went through the process, interrogated witnesses, the next meeting is scheduled for 9 September, - says Gaponenko. - At this pace, the process will last another year and a half. Alexander Filey has the same thing. I have one hearing process moved to 9 September, and the second meeting will be after quarantine - 30 July. No charges will be dropped from anyone. ”.
Recall, that last year Riga completely eradicated education in Russian, banning it in schools and universities, then she started translating kindergartens into Latvian. Conclusion of the Council of Europe Venice Commission 19 June, prescribing Latvia to provide national minorities with instruction in their native language, Riga ignores. But, according to the decision of the parliamentary commission on foreign affairs from 1 July, those latvian schools, who want to have international status, obliged to organize educational programs in the languages of the EU and NATO countries.
Alexander Filey
Latvia wants to approach the 30th anniversary of falling away from the USSR, having outlived everything Russian. Forgotten, that without joining Livonia in 1721 year to Russia there would be no Latvians now, no Latvian language, nor Latvian statehood, how did this happen with the Prussians and the Slav Slavs. And those who stood at the origins of Latvian statehood (1918 year) Oscar Kalpaks and Rudolf Bangerskis during the time of the Russian Empire were St. George Knights, until the end of their life, not embarrassed by Russian awards.
Representatives of the current Latvian elite - people of a smaller breed. They are shy in common with Russian history. After all, if they stop feeding the people false lies about the USSR strangling Latvian freedom, they will have questions: on the decline of health and education; brain drain from the country; about the collapse of production. AND, of course, on the rejection of profitable economic ties with Russia.
