@reklezstoner Don't mind him. They are just brainwashed. One thing I wanted to point out: Siberia (unlike gas chambers) is not the end of your live. I have been living in Siberia for 7 years and it's ok. Besides most of people sent to Siberia were rehabilitated in 1949 and returned home. So they didn't just die, it's a myth.

@reklezstoner That's what I was saying in other post. RT is probably biased about Russia, but they are spot on about west (actually USA mostly).

@orknexus "while USA official declared that Latvian Legion was not hostile to them" You do know that apart from USA there are other countries in the world right?

[cyberrate]

@orknexus It's USA, Latvia,Lithuania,Estonia and Georgia and that's it. The rest of the world is much less brainwashed and actually has no problems with Russia. BTW look at the bios of presidents of those countries and you will find that (!) all of them were educated in America and came to rule from USA. In my opinion that is why they make decisions that are in interests of USA.

Too bad for RT that Mr. "Cameron North" already pulled "Latvia in Hitler's Footsteps"..... or that is what richardb747 claims!
