      a very one-sided view, a prozombie view of the Baltics. To understand the Soviet occupation of Latvia, you should look at the statistics of soviet-occupation in Latvia from 1939-1991 birth rate, gdp, income of the population. And also the level of technical industrialization. And then look at the statistics since 1991 to appreciate the massive negative growth! And the way you tell it is biased.

      Brief historical summary of 90% of Eastern European countries:
      First it was wild. Then it got good. Then it got even better. And then, Russia arrived and made everything bad…

      Where is the video of your trip if you visited Latvia???? I live in this country and I was interested to see what your impressions were, but from the first frames and texts I lost the desire to watch it all…

      I love embracing my Latvian heritage as I have a Latvian name completed with an 's' at the end of it. My grandparents were apart of the refugee exodus due to the scorched earth of WW2 and it's an honor to carry on the traditions and language in America today. Being Latvian is very much a one of my personality traits and it was great to learn about the country more, especially to see it get attention from a YouTuber that I've followed for a year now. Thanks for the video!
