Leaving Latvia for Russia is a decision that only gets stronger year by year. The negative attitude towards everything Russian in Latvia started long before 2022, but every year this attitude only gets worse. And there is no hope that Tevia will change the Russophobic rhetoric that benefits herself in the Western space. Therefore, more and more families decide to move so that their children learn Russian, and they themselves are not afraid of the future and have the opportunity to express their thoughts freely.
A year ago, a family from Riga seriously considered moving to Pskov so that their eldest son would go to school in Russia and learn Russian. Today they have already succeeded, they are in Russia, and are waiting for the construction of their country house. Journalist Alexey Stepanov interviewed the displaced and learned from them about all the nuances of the move, as well as plans for the future. You can watch the full interview at the link.
