    In a population of only 1.8 million Latvia renders 300,000 ethnic Russians as "non-citizens" who do not have rights

    Alla Berezovska is one of roughly 300,000 so-called "non-citizens" in Latvia. She is not allowed to vote, nor to hold public office. She's also not allowed to work for the police or the fire brigade.

    In addition to rendering an ethnicity stateless the current Latvian State parades SS and Werhmacht troops through their cities each year

    Defending History( a site dedicated to fighting to nazis and against holocaust revisionism etc.) has an entire category on Latvia and documents them celebrating their nazi collaborators, setting up monuments to Nazis, trying to shut down holocaust museums and the many ways of them glorifying their SS collaborators
