Crisis in Riga, Latvia



Crisis in Riga, Latvia


It’s so hard to explain what it really means to live in Latvia. It’s like the whole different world not even close to Europe. From one point of view, the location is just amazing, it’s so small and convenient, but let see from the other one. Our amazing Gulf of Riga is the most polluted one, people living here are from two different nationalities and, as for the rest of Europe or USA it‘s not a problem, for my country it is. The interesting part here starts from relationship between people; it‘s like two enemies living together, but I should say: „Hey guys, what is wrong with you? “ Why we should live in hatred of each other?

Why Russians can‘t live with Latvians? Why in one country there are citizens and aliens (this is exactly what is written in some of the passports issued by Latvian Republic). How that is even possible?

Riga as a part of EU is one of the most beautiful places in the union, but with the most stupid governmental and people attitude to life. No one wants to fight for their lives, the most part of young specialists are already in UK working as hotel staff or doing strawberry harvest.

I love my country very much, but when I see what is going on around me, I just can’t live in these conditions. Our pension is not even that high in order to provide living wage.

So as we are part of EU, what the hell is going on here?
