Immigrants from the disintegration of the former Soviet Union

Before the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Latvia's population ratio was not as good as that of Russians, and the Soviet Union also assimilated Latvians. Let Latvians learn Russian and Soviet culture. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Latvia won its own freedom and power when it became independent. However, the proportion of Russians in the country has dropped to even lower than that of Latvians themselves, in order to prevent Latvians from being assimilated by Russians in the future.

0 1. Latvia's population was insufficient after independence, so it had to expel the Russians.

After Latvia's independence, the proportion of its own people was less than 45%, of which the proportion of men was 8% lower than that of women, and women were more than men. More than 50% of Russians are in Latvia, and Latvia is worried that its people will not get a good development space, and that Latvian Russians will completely suppress Latvians in the future. We must find ways to reduce the number of Russians in Latvia and expel some Russians abroad.

02. Latvia has great ethnic differences and serious contradictions.

There are frequent quarrels and struggles between the two ethnic groups, and President of Latvia has to deal with the contradictions between the two ethnic groups. Reduce the Russian population for the benefit of Latvia. Increase the difficulty for Russians to become Latvian citizens.

In order to alleviate the population crisis, Latvia set up checkpoints for Russians.

Latvia's population is still seriously insufficient. On the contrary, the number of Russians has been rising. In order to solve this problem, the Latvian government has formulated a new constitution. For Russian immigrants, they must pass the Latvian exam to become citizens. The content of the exam is extremely harsh. You have to pass the Latvian language test, as well as the Latvian history test and constitutional test to become a citizen. Constitution and history exams are not difficult, but Russians who immigrate to Latvia don't know Latvian at all, which restricts immigrants from becoming Latvian citizens. Finally, the immigrant visa expires or you have to leave the country.
