• Security Police finds no offence in statements about "robbers' gene in Russian mentality" and Russians "created mostly not for work but for robbery" 

The Security Police concluded that the statements of writer and pedagogue Antons Rancans about ethnic Russians are tendentious, but do not constitute criminal offence (corpus delicti). As reported, in an interview with newspaper Neatkariga on 22 August 2014, Mr. Rancans stated that "there is robbers' gene in Russian mentality… mostly, they were created not for work but for robbery." The Security Police concluded that the statements of Mr. Rancans can be seen as tendentious and one-sided, yet these statements do not constitute offence (corpus delicti) envisioned by the Section 78 of the Criminal Law (incitement to ethnic hatred). Vesti Segodnya
