If they are right, then why does the Russkiy Mir hold so little appeal? Andis Kudors, a Latvian academic who specialises in Russian soft power, says the reasons are mostly.

They lived here for generations or they were shipped here by Stalin. Older residents speak only Russian. Old and young consume only Russian media, read Russian history books, go to see Russian plays, and celebrate Russian holidays. They tend to work in Russian-language offices and many go back and forth across the Russian border, which is still being demarcated, without a visa. But they cannot get a Latvian passport, or vote, unless they learn Latvian.

Their children can do only half their classes in their mother tongue and their MPs are locked out of ruling coalitions. Meanwhile, the countryside is littered with skeletons of Soviet-era factories.

Miroslav Mitrofanov - who was born in Latgale and who co-chairs Latvia's second biggest Russian-Latvian party, the PCTVL - says neglect by Riga and the EU means 20 percent have left in search of jobs. We feel like 'second-class people', he adds. Russian media was never kind to Latvia. Quicken family lawyer 2010 deluxe download. But since the Ukraine war, Russian-Latvians hear on TV that EU-backed 'neo-Nazis' are slaughtering Russians in east Ukraine and that Latvia is sponsoring 'a rebirth of fascism'. They also hear that Russian leader Vladimir Putin is ready to protect the 'Russkiy Mir'.

The phrase, which means 'Russian World', refers to ethnic Russians inside or outside Russia, but it also refers to a resurgent myth: that the Russian civilisation is unique and destined for greatness. For his part, Konstantin Dolgov, a senior Russian diplomat, in a speech in Riga in September claimed Latvia will shortly 'liquidate' Russian language schools. At the same time, Latvian security police says Moscow is working with at least 12 NGOs or fringe parties in Latvia - some of which have demanded Latgale autonomy - in what it calls the 'most significant threat to [Latvia's] constitutional order'. It also says Russian intelligence is recruiting border smugglers as agents. Protesters have four times in recent months marched round Riga with Russian and Ukrainian rebel flags.

Latgale residents have also told Latvian TV the Russian embassy in Riga is helping people go to Ukraine to fight for Russia. The police is investigating three men, two from Latgale, who did go. They raided homes in connection with the case and found small arms.

Mitrofanov himself went to observe the Crimea 'referendum' on independence in March. He says he saw no signs of Russian coercion, adding: 'We sympathise with those who are close to us in language and culture If Ukraine develops the same way that Latvia has been developing since its independence in 1991, Russian speakers in Ukraine will be marginalised the same way we've been marginalised'. 'Ukraine scenario impossible' But even if Latgale looks like a soft target, Latvian authorities say it is not. 'We live in times when any provocation cannot be excluded, but a 'Ukrainian' scenario for Latvia is impossible', its foreign minister, Edgars Rinkevics, says. His spokesman, Karlis Eihenbaums, notes that some Russian-Latvian activists have a new air of menace: 'They don't say it openly, but you can feel it: 'If you don't fulfill our dreams than Crimea-type things can happen here'.' But he points out the pro-Russia protests got almost no support.
