The problem is not that you sound uneducated (and if you really are studying at a Latvian University at the moment your level of English comprehension certainly appears to be a testament to the rapidly dropping standard of education in Latvia after the brain-drain of the intellectual elite of the country, which was in Soviet times always predominantly ethnic Russian, in pre-Soviet times, German), but that you sound, for lack of a kinder description, like an emotionally unstable teenage girl of below-average intelligence.
What I know about the "Russian problem" is that the Russians practically built the infrastructure and industry out of almost nothing, funding everything with Russian, not Latvian, money. As an ethnos, the Latvians have virtually no intellectual creativity, which is in order to get anything done in Latvia - build Riga, for instance, an intellectual elite had to be imported from somewhere. Until Soviet times the intellectual elite were ethnic Germans. After Soviet times, the German elite was replaced by an ethnic Russian one. The problem was that the Soviets imported a proletariat along with the elite, and now the Latvian proletariat vents its frustrations and feelings of inferiority on Russians which no longer have neither their elite, nor Moscow to defend them.Originally Posted by Inese

Have you visited Latvia to see what Russian people do here with our people and country?? No!?? Hm making a opinion from over-sea is not very high educated also! Could you find Latvia on a map without looking before? If you want to be ignorant please dont post in the Latvian board thank you
What's funny is that Latvians and other Balts (with the exception of Finns, who actually have some brains) recognize that they are more or less intellectual 'drones'. In fact, the poverty of Latvian (as well as Estonian, but let's not go there) contributions to science and culture is so severe that not even the Latvians' all-consuming hatred towards Russians stops them from claiming accomplished ethnic Russian scientists who happened to be born in Latvia (or happened to live in Latvia for a while) as "famous ethnic Latvian scientists." Whenever you see someone whose racial condition is not to your liking, he's got to be a Russian, however. L-O-L.
