Chas reports about a conference Russians in Latvia: Past, Present, and Future in the Eyes of Young People held in Daugavpils. Participants of the conference have discussed methods how to preserve and develop Russian culture and language in Latvia.
Diena prints an article about racism in Latvia by a cultural scientist Dace Dzenovska. The author states that many Latvian residents, especially ethnic Latvians, categorically refuse the notion of racism in Latvia and believe that they are a peaceful nation that would never oppress other nations. According to the article, Latvians are not able to look at problem of racism from a distance and admit that such problem exists in Latvia.
