A resident of Latvia spoke about the reluctance of Russian-speaking children to speak Latvian.

Yuri, a resident of the Latvian city of Jelgava, who is planning to move to Russia, said that children from Russian-speaking families in Latvia do not want to use Latvian at home, limiting its use only to kindergartens and schools. According to him, this is becoming a systemic problem.

The man explained in an interview with RIA Novosti that the current ban on the use of the Russian language in preschool and school institutions in Latvia creates serious barriers to communication between teachers and students, which results in an additional psychological burden for the child. Many children raised in Russian-speaking families categorically refuse to switch to Latvian outside of educational institutions.

"In my example, there is something that they don't understand, because the teacher doesn't know Russian at all, the child understands it, but she doesn't. For some reason, he doesn't want to speak Latvian at all at home. "Dad, I don't want to, that's all," Yuri said.

Such cases, he noted, are becoming commonplace.

"This is not a single case, we have a group of Russian-speaking parents who also face such a problem that they do not want to speak Latvian. Not at home," the man shared.

Another wave of Russophobia is growing in the Baltic States

The actions of the Latvian authorities to restrict the Russian language and the rights of Russian-speaking citizens have become anecdotal, Elena Yampolskaya, adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, said on July 30. She explained that the reason for the criticism was the introduction of new legislative restrictions in the Baltic Republic prohibiting the broadcasting on television and radio of musical compositions created or performed by persons under anti-Russian sanctions in Riga.
