Formal'no VVF russkii yazyk uchit' ne obyazana,
no, esli ona ego vyuchit, eto budet pravil'no.
Kstati, Valdas Adamkus, litovskii prezident (on tozhe iz
Ameriki priehal), po russki ves'ma neploho govorit -
i chto zhe v etom plohogo?

As to some young ladies, who like to ask people to shut up,
they're not adding much respect to the nation(s) they claim
to represent. Hopefully, the readers of their valuable contributions
can figure out that they don't and can't represent entire nations.

Latvian Girl, I agree with you that Vaira have right not to learn russian, but it's her bussines what to do and what not. If she want to learan then let her learan and the nazionalists of your kind are fools who are uneducated.

And , latvians, including president has a RIGHT TO NOT SPEAK IN RUSSIAN IN LATVIAN REPUBLIC. Shut up all kind of internacionalists

Narvitsja mnje etat listjik

i'm very approciate about russians' sense of humor . It's only good thing what one can find to modern russians. Latvian president are the best. Go Vaira, we shall overcome!!!!

Vabshe haroshaja ideja. Mozhit i nam sdelatj page na Putina? Harasho bilo bi jesli vse eto ne privratilosj v Hate Vaira i tomu podobnoje.
Tolko zhal shto ruskije ne panimajut situatciju v Latviji. Kak bi vam samim nravilos esli vas bi okupirovali skazhem kitaici ili amerikanci, 50 let bi gadili na vashej zemle, ubivali vashih raditelej, vivizli bi pol naroda a sami najehali bi k vam i esho zastavljali vam uchitj ih jazik. Da primerno tak bilo v Ltviji psle 1940. goda. Ja nechego ne imeju protiv zdes zhivushih ruskogavarjashih no a ni dalzhni ponatj shto zhivut v stranje katoruju sozdali ne ani, i ne ani za ni jo pralivali krov v 1. mirovoj a takzhe v 1918 - 1921. Ja schitaju shto zdes zhivushije ruskije dalzhni uvazhat stranu v katoroj zhivut a ne probovatj tut sozdatj shtoto drugoje. K shastju bolshaja chastj ruskih ponimajut vse eto. Da i mnogim latisham nadobi bilo nauchitsa atnasitsa k ruskim ne kak k vragam a kak k sasejdam.

citation
''-2- Someone IS BORN, LIVES the WHOLE LIFE in a country,
is NOT intended to go elsewhere and just wants to live, work and be happy - BUT IS NOT ALLOWED - discriminated, HAS to have EXAMS (what if thi pensionated old woman has difficulties learning?huh?)
THIS SITUATION IS Disgusting.''

Dear Sir - everyone is allowed to live, where he like to. Its not forbidden to work, to be happy. Its not required to pass any exam for that. BUT YOU MUST PASS EXAM IF YOU WANT TO BE THE CITIZEN. How you can elect the government or administration if you do not know HISTORY OF COUNTRY YOU ARE LIVING, THE LANGUAGE THIS COUNTRY IS SPEAKING? And those are the only ones requirements in exam for naturalisation. Where you see discrimination? - may be discrimination is when one milion non-residents is coming into the small country and requiring the vote???
u are disgusting, norm chel

da,interesno,poschemu Vaira dolћna znatj russkij jazik?

People, just be understanding for each other.
Don't push stuff,
Be a good person, that's important.

answer to fricis

Why are u so agressive?
I do agree with u about language,but you can't be so cruel to ask in Latvian an old person,who just couldn not learn it.
The more languages u can, the richer u are; just don not be too proud about your own, if u can answer in English,Russian- just do it.If u can help someone, why not?

Sory, I have nothing to say about the president of Latvia, but Im really pist off looking at some Russians logic (yes, still I believe than this is opinion of several extremists), also at this site.
Why some person, living abroud is motivated to speak local language? Just to make contact, I guess.
Why Russian, living in Latvia since Second World War!!! is able to comunicate only one language - Russian!!! Just because of low growth, I guess again.
There is only one place in entire world, where Latvian can live and comunicate his own language - and its Latvia. Why the fuck I have to speak Russian in my country? Gentlemen, if you are willing to live in the society and comunicate - all you have to is - lear the language for comunication.
In this country it is colloquial speach (not body language, for instance) what is in use, and the Language is LATVIAN.

Stranichka strannaja...to li fan-club, to li hate-page, neponjatno...
Pochemu Vaira dolzhna znatj russkij jazik? Dumaju, chto ne dolzhna. Latishi (iz-za mentaliteta) delajut grandioznije ustupki. Ochenj chasto v kompanii iz-za pari russkih, vsje govorjat po-russki, potomu-chto eti paru neznajut "etot sranij aborigenskij(/labusskij)".
Vsja nenovistj mezhdu Rossijei i Latvijei - delo politiki. Pochemu-to ostrej vsego prava russko-jazichnih v Latvii ushchemljajutsja kak-raz pered viborami v Rossii. A latishskij narod- maljenjkij no gordij, i ne hochet slushatj prikazi pjanogo dedushki Bori,...panjimaishhhh, ili KGBeshnika Vovochki. Jesli v Rossii proidet sindrom Velikoj Imperii i politiki budut rukovoditsja zdravim umom, to otnoshenija ulutshatsja...
Na samom dele nelzja odnoznachno govoritj o jarko razdvojenii obshchestva. Jestj narod Latvii. I ot karajushih sankcij Rossii postradajut absoljutno vsje. Mozhno dazhe skazatj chto boljshe postradajut imenno russkojazichnije zhiteli (o kotorih Rossija zabotica boljshe chem o zhiteljah Rossii), vedj v boljshinstve imenno oni vedut biznes s Rossijei.
O VVF: Inostranka? Net! Dazhe zhivja v tisjachah kilometrov ot rodini, ona sohranila mentalitet, viuchila jazik i vnesla ogromnij vklad v issledovanii latishskoj kuljturi, mnogokratno previshajushchij vklad mnogih zhitelei Latvii(ljuboi nacionaljnosti).
O polnomochijah prezidenta: V ot lichii ot Rossii, gde prezident- carj i bog, i prezidentstvo peredajotsa po nasledstvu, v Latvii prezident igrajet reprezentativnuju rolj, jestj konechno para voprosov zavisjashih o nejo, no v celom pomoch narodu osobo ona ne mozhet, da i ot nejo etogo ne prosjat, lish bi ne oploshala i ne opozorila stranu, vot i vsje.
Stranoj rukovodit premjer. Na dannij moment A.Berzinjsh ("LC"(Putj Latvii), moj odnopartijec). "LC" aktivno boretsja za vstuplenije Latvii v ES, no i zhelajet ostavatsja v druzhestvennih otnoshenijah s Rossijei. "LC"- liberaljnaja partija i uvazhajet mnenija vseh i kazhdogo, i ne delajet stavku na nacionaljnij vopros (nacionalizm- primitivnij, no dovoljno effektivnij politicheskij hod vshe vremen i narodov).
Ustal...Pozhe eshcho cho-nitj napishu.

A quick response to Alien:

A President should't know everything about everything. Normally such politicians have good advisors. So I think, it is more necessary to find good ones then study thousands of books on special items.

After all, you know, Vaira was just a compromise between other candidates. She was elected only because the political parties in Saeima couldn't agree about their own ones.
