I think the keyword here is "Waffen-SS" not "Latvian". Fascists and racists come in all nationalities. The Dutch really hate nazis, but a sizeable portion of the population aided in the holocaust regardless.
Percentage-wise Latvia had more % of population in SS than any other country including Germany so i think the "Latvian" part did played at least some role.
Most of the Baltics and especially ukraine had large percentages of nazis.
Nothing has changed.
Ukraine actually had tiny % of nazis in WW2. It was like 250000 or so nazis compared to at least 7 million Ukrainian partisans and Red Army soldiers. It's just that west after war absorbed, coddled and promoted the nazi survivors and after 1991 send them back with a huge propaganda bucks, and in 2014 helped them organize the coup.
It must've been that they were so active I got the impression there were more back then.
Also that there is an unhealthy amount of them in our time.
But thanks for correcting me.

Anything interesting in it? RT is blocked in Germany.
And yet Kremlin can't stop from propping up the fascist Legionnaires in Romania "for democracy".
The Soviet Union just after the war supported the so-called "Socialist Imperial Party" in Western Germany, until it was banned there. That party, as you might have guessed, was basically rebranded Nazis.
LOL the western propaganda press suddenly quit reporting about that 'Russian influence' lie when it was proven it was the Romanian liberals who did it.
You should keep up with the lies you parrot.
How is this a lie, parrot? https://www.rferl.org/a/romania-vlad-the-impaler-group-russia-coup-plot-treason/33348058.html
