Mass rally in support of Russian schools in Latvia

79
Latvia hosted the largest rally in support of the Russian language in recent years. In the Latvian capital gathered over three thousand people. In their hands they held posters, the inscriptions on which read: "Hands off Russian-speaking", "For the Russian language and Russian schools!" language, marched to the building of the German Embassy, ​​as well as to the EU Delegation in Riga.

The rally was organized by activists of the Russian Union of Latvia public organization.

Recall that earlier the Latvian authorities decided to amend the Law on Education. New amendments lead to the fact that all Latvian schoolchildren, including members of national minorities, should be trained only in Latvian. In the final form, the amendments should begin in the 2019 year.

The citizens of Latvia, who opposed the adoption of such legislative decisions, noted that the Latvian authorities themselves are inciting an inter-ethnic fire in the republic, in which not only ethnic Latvians live.

Recall that since 2004, in Latvia there is a bilingual form of education, in which in the upper grades at least 60% of academic disciplines should be taught in Latvian.

    Most Russians in Latvia are from the Baltic countries ... But unfortunately this protest was nowhere. Much earlier everything had to be done. There is such a position, just not to notice such protests.

        It used to be when the Baltic republics were the first to leave the USSR. The Russians were then warned that it would be so - that they would fall into Latvian, Lithuanian, Estonian apartheid. But they - many of them - did not believe it.

          How are you right. The local Russians (cunning ones) welcomed all these independence. They thought of becoming Europeans, but became blacks (stateless people). Now they shout: Save Russia! Separated? get independence.

            IN AND. Lenin, substantiating the national policy of the Bolsheviks on the issue of determining the priority of solving the problems of building SOCIALISM over the self-determination of the nation, wrote that “... not a single Marxist, while breaking with the foundations of Marxism and socialism in general, can deny that the interests of SOCIALISM are higher than the right of a nation to self-determination”

            But it is precisely the Baltic republics that left the state of the USSR with the already SOCIALIST system, and not with the BOURGEOIS system. And after all, this alone said then that Gorbachev was not a Marxist, but a “communist” - a flapper, a bourgeois demagogue and a servant of the United States and the collective West - a traitor to his homeland.

            It was precisely this position of Lenin on the right of the nation to self-determination under socialism that was most vigorously attacked in the process of the "perestroika", supposedly democratic destruction of the USSR. From the perspective of a supposedly classless decision to realize the right of the nation to self-determination - in the spirit of the so-called “universal” values ​​- the priority of the abstract, classless right of the nation to self-determination under socialism was voiced immediately at the 1 Congress of People's Deputies of the USSR from the mouth of the USSR People's Deputies: 1) from the Šiauliai Territorial constituency of the Lithuanian SSR K.D.P. Prunskene, 2) from the Tallinn Electoral District of the Estonian SSR K.S. Khallik, 3) from the Panevezys city national-territorial constituency of the Lithuanian SSR V.V. Landeberg and others.
            However, history has convincingly shown that no so-called pro-Western “universal” values ​​work at all. They are a malicious utopia. Speaking about them is only a demagogic cover, a screen for the egoistic bourgeois class interests of a separate nationalizing nation. And nothing more.

              Under Gorbachev, the study of Marxism-Leninism turned into a formality. At best, cramming without the concept of a methodological system of thinking about class struggle. In the first place came agreement with the world bourgeois community, as a result of which the Soviet people lost their country of the USSR, and 25 million ethnic Russians remained outside the Russian Federation in the form of unblocked diasporas without political rights - i.e. under foreign occupation.

              V.I. Lenin pointed out (and historical practice has confirmed the correctness of his assertion) that the fanning of their national issues is always an attribute - an integral property - of the class struggle of the national bourgeoisie, its individual representatives for their private property, for their personal superprofits, for their personal capital, for the markets for its products - for its economic dominance, for its personal political power. AND A considerable role in this regard is played by the artificial imposition of the national language on other peoples.
              Thanks to the imposition of its national language on other nations, the whole nationalizing nation is automatically drawn into the struggle of the national bourgeoisie for its national sovereignty at the irrational, subconscious level. At the same time, the separatist movement of the nationalizing nation — namely, titular national minorities in the former Soviet republics of the multinational USSR — takes on an asocial character.
              Thus, the fanning of nationalism in the titular national republics of the USSR, no matter what particular forms it manifests, ultimately turns into a whole struggle not just of a nationalizing nation, but of its nationalizing bourgeoisie. That is, this is an attempt by representatives of a given nationality to enrich themselves at someone else’s expense, at the expense of representatives of other nationalities, excluding them from equal participation in the shared section of the aggregate multinational public property in the country, and primarily on the means of production and land, thereby reducing the number of people involved in the section. Swollen bourgeois nationalism is disgusting because it is essentially a policy of robbery by one people of all other peoples. And an extremely radical asocial manifestation of this nationalism is racism, accompanied by the apartheid regime.

                And during the USSR, you ask a passer-by in Latvia "what time is it," in response to a pure Russian, "I do not understand." So many understood that this would happen, but could not do anything. It was not the people who decided. Just people did not dare to abandon their apartments.

                good evening hi ...
                many of my relatives stayed in Estonia, hoping for the return of property confiscated during their accession to the USSR ... my ancestors almost settled there under Peter .... so, against the backdrop of these promises, I stopped talking with my relatives living in Tartu on the Russian side .. not to mention the "continental" relatives .... so it was a deliberate choice ... I think the situation is similar to the rest of the Labustan ... I do not blame anyone, it's just such a story

      Of course, it’s nowhere. Nobody actually prohibits the Russian language and schools in the Baltic countries. A third of the population speaks Russian. But the policy is such that if you want to get a normally paid job, you must know the national language. Even without knowing a lot of it Russian works, you’ll hardly get a more normal position and place. The younger generation doesn’t have any problems with this, and those who live older dreams about the USSR. And the overwhelming majority of the protesters are for whom. If our state cares about Russian-speaking compatriots living in other countries, can he try, following the example of Israel, to introduce a relocation program?

        You think someone needs it. In August '94, in the press, I read in Moscow an article: an open letter from the Migration Department to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation - the meaning is simple: by any means prevent the return of ethnic Russians to Russia. There were 20 million of them and no one then in the Russian Federation knew what to do with them. Now it’s too late to shed tears for both.
        It would be better to drag all the European deputies from Latvia through the Russian talk show: hardly anyone would do much more harm to the formation of the Russians as a political force than the “beloved” Tatyana Zhdanok.

        you see what’s the matter. few will move to Russia from the Baltic states. people were born and lived there. they are accustomed to a different order to different living conditions. many mixed families! I’ll tell you how I understand, moving from the Baltic to Russia is not just a change of residence and country! it’s moving to another civilization in another world. which is very different from their usual, even in size, and already for everything else. And plus they have access to the labor markets of developed countries in Europe. access to cheap loans and more why should they go to Russia !! I don’t want to offend anyone, but it’s a long way to the organization of the office work of the Russian Federation! Example: father has documents, requests come from the Baltic states faster than from the neighboring city of Russia !!!! it is a fact
        what do you think: for example, why many people can sell housing in the Baltic states. at euro prices and buy good in Russia, for rubles. but don't do it?

      In Latvia, in order to get a prestigious job, you need to know three languages, local, English and necessarily Russian. The point is not that the Latvians were inflamed with love for Russia, but that all the economic ties that are not big enough feed the republic in Russia. In Lithuania it’s even more interesting, they open Russian schools there. Who do you think? You’ll never guess ... for the Poles living in the republic, they are studying.

      About ten years ago I talked with one of our “repatriates”. He was very sorry that he had left Kazakhstan. He really lived there in Alma Ata, and then he had to settle in a village near Smolensk.

In front of his eyes, Kazakhs practiced freestyle wrestling techniques on two Russians. Throw yourself through the asphalt. And how to look at that?

          Sergei hi Of course, the situations are different and people just don’t leave there. I still can’t understand the Russians in Kyrgyzstan who are sitting there without work, or rather the attitude of our authorities towards them. Reset, give us work and housing, and soon in the Far East the Chinese will host

    May I ask, already registered to clarify. Latvia is not Russia !? This is a sovereign foreign country, with its own anthem, with its government, with its indigenous people, with its own language! So why suddenly people who came from another country demand that they need some kind of schools not in the national language, so they also opened it at the expense of the budget of this country.
    I am also Russian and live in Russia, but sometimes my compatriots simply amaze with arrogance, emigrate to another country, get citizenship of that country there, and then wave the flag with the slogan "I want to teach children in Russian!" Well, return to Russia and study in Russian, what problems. They do not want to assimilate, well, so deprive citizenship and return to their homeland.

      Russians are as indigenous on these lands as other nations. They do not require Russian schools to open, but they want them not to close! In many European countries, with a lower percentage of the “non-titular nation,” there are several official languages ​​... And if you are forbidden to speak your native language, then this is called discrimination! And in the Baltic countries, this is the norm. It is clear what caused the discontent?

    And during the USSR, you ask a passer-by in Latvia "what time is it," in response to a pure Russian, "I do not understand." So many understood that this would happen, but could not do anything. It was not the people who decided. Just people did not dare to abandon their apartments.

    In Western Ukraine, faces were also turned away, even if asked in the East Ukrainian dialect.

    How are you right. The local Russians (cunning ones) welcomed all these independence. They thought of becoming Europeans, but became blacks (stateless people). Now they shout: Save Russia! Separated? get independence.

    Yeah, that’s what they thought, that’s how they were asked. Where did you spend the 90s? What was the point of yelling under Yeltsin: "Save Russia!" When in all our mass media, all kinds of Novodvorodsky and Boners squealed from morning to night: "Repent Russia! For everything." And the ever-drunken Judas and all his ruling camarilla, were only glad that the Russians were robbed and killed in all the former republics.
