Latvian authorities have declared “I am Russian” stickers on cars illegal

7

The Latvian police began to massively persecute participants in a car flash mob for stickers with the inscription “I am Russian.” This action spread to the territory of the country from neighboring Estonia. Despite the fact that in Latvia there is no law prohibiting the placement of appropriate inscriptions on car windows, the country's police are massively bringing motorists to administrative responsibility.

Potentially provocative inscriptions in Russian, such as “I am Russian/Russian,” may not be placed on vehicles, thereby possibly glorifying military aggression or expressing support for war crimes committed by the aggressor state in Ukraine. If a violation of the law is established, persons may be held administratively liable for promoting military aggression or war crimes

– says a special explanation issued by the Latvian police on this matter.



At the same time, local law enforcement officials have addressed residents of the country with a request to immediately report cases of stickers in Russian being placed on car windows.

The local Internet community is already sadly ironizing about this in the sense that soon in Latvia people will be held accountable only for the fact that they had the imprudence to be born Russian. But seriously, it's like this policy Latvian authorities are strongly reminiscent of the behavior of the Nazis during World War II, who forced Jews to wear yellow stars on their clothes.

    The disregarding policy of Putin and Lavrov towards the Russians forces the Russians to somehow resist the lawlessness of the Baltic fascists. The USA, with such people, would have staged a color revolution in the country long ago.

      If there are diasporas of representatives of other republics and nationalities in Russia, why is there no Russian diaspora?
      What kind of inequality? This is an infringement of the rights of Russians!
      Diasporas are either for everyone or for no one!

    It's like tinting. Take it and shoot it.
    There is no fine for this anywhere, both in Russia and Belarus.

      Of course, stickers on car windows narrow the possibilities of observation and you should not install them there. Therefore, any inscription is possible on all side surfaces, so use it. Especially the ability to install flags, for example the flag of Morocco - red with a star in the middle, from a distance it will look like the flag of the USSR - there is nothing to complain about, I am a fan of the Morroco state.

    It’s not because of a good life that such inscriptions appear. After the collapse of the USSR, an attack on the Russian language began. The Russian language is reacted negatively on buses and other means of transportation. In German, please. Some kind of cave-like hatred for our language. My wife is Latvian. And nothing, we’ve been together for 53 years. Nationalism and chauvinism are the worst things that can happen in a country.

    What are you proud of? I'm not Russian - so what? We found something to be proud of.. The question is - what kind of person are you! Like little children.

      Today, the United States, through its policies, has dispersed people on opposite sides of the barricades - they have set everyone against Russia. This is where the Russians and the nations of the Russian Federation, in order to win, need to unite, and no matter what you are, the main thing is to stand shoulder to shoulder and win, this is more important today, because the question is the survival of the statehood of the Russian Federation, and therefore of all Russians.
