Putin said at talks with local heads of Russia that Latvia will be Russian citizensDeportationThe act has a direct impact on Russia's security. The statement raised questions about Putin's claims that he was exaggerating the seriousness of the problem. However, the reason why Putin is so convincing is by no means a fuss, but becauseBalticThe position of the three countries towards Ukraine and Russia is very clear and tough. Against the backdrop of the current tensions between Ukraine and Russia, Latvia's measures to further restrict Russians in the country can be described as quite harsh.
Latvia has not only accelerated the pace of "de-Russification", banned Russian television broadcasts, but also accelerated its phase-outRussianTeach, eliminateRussian historyand the influence of culture. Recently, the Latvian parliament passed amendments to the Immigration Law, stipulating that Russian citizens under the age of 75 who hold a Russian passport and live in Latvia until September 1, 2023 must pass the Latvian A2 certificate exam or lose their status of residence in Latvia. Even though many Russians think that learning Latvian is reasonable, the pressure they face is enormous. The difficulty of the exam has increased, and many Russian citizens who have lived in Latvia for a long time have difficulty passing the exam in the short term. 61% of the A2 exams that were recently conducted failed the exam.
But this deportation is not just a simple language test, it affects many Russian citizens who have lived for a long time and have families and living roots. They may face the fate of being forced to leave Latvia, which will undoubtedly provoke their resentment and resentment, and may also affect their attitude towards Russia and Latvia. For Russians, who have become accustomed to life in Latvia, returning to Russia will be a completely unfamiliar environment, and they may lose their otherwise stable life and social ties. In addition, some Russians may be employed by overseas powers and may have a negative impact on Latvia upon their return to Russia.
This act of deportation has also sparked controversy about Russia**. In 2024, Russia will hold a deportation, while some believe that Latvia's expulsion could trigger the rise of Russian power, which could adversely affect Putin's rule. There are also reports that Latvia has sent deportation letters to nearly 1,000 Russians and plans to expel 1,167 Russians for language inadequacy. A spokesman for Russia said so, calling this behavior "retro fascism". The deportation has even led to the arrest of an 82-year-old Russian retireeDeportation, which is considered to pose a "** threat" to Latvia. This action has attracted wide attention from the outside world.
In conclusion, the reason why Putin is so concerned about the expulsion in Latvia is because he believes that this action has a direct impact on Russia's security. Such actions may spark resentment and resentment among Russians, and may even give rise to Russian power. For Putin, this is a situation that cannot be ignored and will present a series of challenges to his administration.
