• NRA reminds about earlier protest activities of Mr. Rafalskis and calls to check the teachers of national minority schools 

NRA reminds its readers that Russian language and literature teacher Vladislavs Rafalskis, who recently stated his “disloyalty towards the present regime”, was also seen participating in earlier protest actions: in 2004, he actively took part in protests against transition of Russian minority schools to instruction in Latvian language and helped release a protest song with the “Pink Floyd” tune; in 2005, he took part in the protest chain dressed in extermination camp’s prisoner’s uniforms trying to prevent the procession commemorating Latvian Waffen SS legionnaires on 16 March. The author calls politicians and authorities to check the teachers of national minority schools and alleges that teachers like Mr. Rafalskis are responsible for the fact that many young people are still celebrating the defeat of Nazis.
