Chas talks to the Head of the Communication Department of the University of Latvia Inta Brikse. The Head of the Department states that she was surprised that this year very few graduates of Russian school expressed the wish to become students of the Department. Inta Brikse stresses that they are very happy to see Russians among Departments students as the Departments task is to ‘support Russian journalism. She reports that studies are in Latvian, however, students are not forced to write all works in Latvian and recently the Department has also acquired academic literature in Russian.
