I am not surprised that this Russia hating fascist lives in the heartland of the United States. The United States is a home to millions of fascists both home grown and from Europe. This man has committed a hate crime and should be prosecuted for publishing the identity of people who showed pride in their link to the Soviet Union or Russia. I can tell you how proud I felt when I saw number of Soviet flags in last night’s Hockey game between Latvia and Russia. Russia was awesome to watch. I have never seen such an explosive group of hockey players before. Their speed, effortless moves over the ice showed supreme athleticism and the highest order of artistic perfection. One did not have to be Russian to admire Russia Hockey playing skills. Russian hating Latvians and their friends were taught a lesson last night in Vancouver’s Canada place. Latvia needs to focus on developing good relations with Russia. It is too small to hurt Russia but it can hurt Latvia’s own future relation with Russia.

Latvia is such a small country with very nice and friendly people. It is hard to picture Latvia as a country that violates the rights of their citizens, regardless of their origin. The perceived problems may be worked out in a way that is satisfactory to all. If Russia were to make a goodwill move toward Latvia it might lessen their concerns and negative opinions toward Russia in general. People of Russian origin in Latvia need to be treated fairly and equally.

West had supported the facism in its war with the socialism. The future of west is facism, I can see it here in UK, BNP nationalist who got 1 million votes during last election, their numbers grow all the time, and I'm sure that one day in the future during a loosing war, economic depression, or whatever does harm to the nations morale will cause an uprising, civil war or a rise in the power of extrimists. I know russian latvians who tell me how anti-russian their government is, and how they try to eradicte russian influences (cultural and social) out of their misled society, - destruction of Soviet war monuments, automatic translation of russian names into latvian, and anti-russian pro-western backed facism policies. The things I now are never mentioned in the west, so much for democracy and rights, hahaha governments sells propoganda and people buy that s***.
