🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in the Republic of Latvia:
❗️We drew attention to the recent statements made by the Latvian education officials that dissemination of information about the Russian distance school programs is considered almost as a threat to the national security and is a subject to careful study by local law enforcement agencies.
By impetuously cracking down on "Russian schools" local fighters for the "ideological purity" of the educational sphere seem to be seriously determined to restrict access to educational programs recognized as "dangerous" for the Western value system.
Judging by the public rhetoric of the Latvian officials, the war against "wrong thinking" in the republic is getting much more horryfying. The question of how such a policy of practically total censorship correlates with the status of the European law-governed state remains open.
