    I doubt russians are really interest by those small territory in Latvia. But they will probably be interest by the russian population to increase their population.

    That's not true at all, you know bordering countries usually share populations to some degree, anyway percent of Russians in Latvia:

    1897-12%
    1925-10,5%
    1935-10,6%

    Although i support Russia on many levels, this is not acceptable, Latvians as a such small nation, lost way too much people while being under the Soviet Rule.
    This is clear case of imperialism, Russians in Latvia are not discriminated.

    Some people in eastern Latvia maybe advocating to join Russia for economic benefits.

    This may not be in the western press but one of the reasons for Crimeans wanting to join Russia was the neglect of social and economic development of Crimea by Ukrainian authorities. There was no infrastructure or healthcare improvement in Creamea since early 90s. I can also recall at least three instances in which Russian citizens living in rural districts of Russia on the border with Belarus wanted to join Belarus for economic benefits.

    It is well known eastern Latvia is the poorest region of Latvia. If the Latvian government was spending more on the development of eastern Latvia, there won't be any advocates wanting to join Russia.

    I remember reading an article in which a Latvian parliament member was saying that children in areas of south-eastern Latvia think the president of Latvia is Alexander Lukashenko. It happened after Latvia switched to digital TV with not all residents in eastern Latvia able to afford to buy new decoders to watch digital Latvian TV. So people continued using analogue TVs to watch Belarusian TV channels.

    it is good that the EU has collapsed at the end and Latvia out of slavery. It is difficult to live in a financial ass, given the fact that the Soviet Union after the Second World War and the Russian all the time somewhere clamped.
    NATO in the first place should be destroyed. NATO was created after the war to fight the Soviet Union, respectively, to deal with Russia. USSR wanted to join NATO, but they refused.
