Russians think that Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians are arrogant,
that their countries are malicious gnomes with an all-but-Nazi
ideology, and that they hate Russia and treat Russian-speaking
residents of their countries as second-class people. To be honest,
Russians dislike the Balts for three reasons:

To start with, they were the first to leave the Soviet Union - how
ungrateful!

Second, these pro-Western countries rushed into the EU and NATO -
joined our enemies!

Third, they make claims on our territory or demand compensation for
what they call "the Soviet occupation."

Discontent with the status of local Russians and other grievances are
rooted in these causes. There are ex-Soviet countries where Russians
are really having a hard time, but Moscow does not want to mess with
dictatorships. It is much safer to lash out at the three Baltic
democracies.

Thanks whirlygig peetey...

Yes indeed... now that the give-away of Latvian land seems a done-
deal, it is ok for you to make squeeky noises about Latvians losing it
to the russian neo-stalinists. No sweat off of your nose, now...

Unlike previously when you were pushing the sell-out....
What makes you think you can operate in a non-accountable manner?

I never pushed any sell-out, my dear Lorad. I try to be careful with
my words. I try to be accountable, and if you take anything I have
said _in context_, I think I can explain my position and defend it
quite well. Abrene was screwed in 1944 -- that's a long time ago.
Let's get rid of it. Let's do so in an honorable manner. This is not
that manner. Sweat off my nose.
