    It was moved years ago from Kauppatori to Jätkäsaari. Now only passengers from Estonia can see it

    Do you try to say Latvia wasn't Germanised?
    Not really, I would rather call it assimilation of German culture to local one. Decorating Christmas tree was also originally German idea. Did German forced Russians to do so? No, it was assimilation

    People were not replaced, but don't try to express that Germans didn't hamper the development of the local culture.

    Indeed. Living in the past is not a good idea. It looks more like this these days.

    I know only the opposite information:
    Until the 19th century, the Latvian written language was influenced by German Lutheran pastors and the German language, because the upper class of local society was formed by Baltic Germans.

    I knew you had to say your "what-about-you?" here. But what about "Rasputin's cock"? Have they really memorized it somewhere?

    Well people laughing at other countries deserve some criticism.

    Yeah it was on display some time ago in St. Petersburg i heard. Not sure if it's still there. I'm more concerned about Lenin tho.
