This includes deleting the ] SSR depictions, which is why I figured that I would drop you a note given your interest on the region.

My mother had to learn the language and had to pass her history exam to become a U.S. citizen. ''Not her choice, just the rules.'' It's not too much to ask for, by any country, to request a demonstration of that ''basic level of commitment'' to the country one calls home. (Russia has a set of rules and circumstance which make applying for citizenship almost impossible, BTW.) | |||
| ::: The majority of self-identified primary Russophones in Latvia have long been citizens; that there's a some massive issue in Estonia or Latvia is an increasingly untenable position as compared to the facts.

| ::::: Except when Russia thinks it can benefit from the citizens, as in South Ossetia. As you recall, Russia made it very easy for ethnic Ossetians to get Russian passport there, while Kokoity made it very hard for them to travel to Georgia to update Georgian passports, and even, strange as it may be, to travel to ethnic Georgian settlements in South Ossetian areas. ]<sub>]</sub> 16:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::: I think your comparison is flawed. Your mother obviously wanted to go to the US. Baltic Russians had no choice. Besides, having to learn a world language such as English is a completely different thing from having to learn a small, obscure language such as Estonian which will not be useful to you anywhere outside Estonia. If you were forced to live in the ], would you be willing to learn the local language in order to integrate, or would you prefer to stay within the zone of the American expat community and speak only English? ] (]) 15:08, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| ::::: As you recall, very few countries have been issuing visas into the alien passports. So, citizenshipless people in Estonia and Latvia have been living in these countries for twenty years, never going overseas for a visit. Are you for real? I mean -- suggesting that people who never travel outside their "small, obscure country" being concerned about "world languages" brings the favourite quote of Ebenezer Scrooge to mind. ]<sub>]</sub> 16:40, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| :::: Since last year, Russia has been discriminating against citizens of Estonia and Latvia by way of requiring higher visa fees from then than from non-citizens. Maybe this a similar ploy? ]<sub>]</sub> 16:30, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
| Another interesting indicator of discrimination is that not only did Russia offer its citizenships to former USSR citizens rather freely in 1990s, but Russia has been actively inviting Russians to move to Russia. I mean -- Russia has been offering to cover the moving expenses and pay some money to Russian people who used to live outside Russia and are returning to Russia, because Russia is concerned about aging population and depopulation. It would be interesting to see how many people have taken up this chance to leave the countries where they're being discriminated against. ]<sub>]</sub> 16:56, 5 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
