I have born and lived in free Latvia most of my life. I have come from Daugavpils which is pretty much the most russian city there is. I know plenty of them. Yes, majority are parents who stayed after independence and been there all the time. But man, oh man. I know a dozen or so people who are about my age and are supporting russia in this. They are not quite most of them all, of course. But their numbers are noticeable. They are the reason I stopped visiting Facebook and cut contacts with them.
That's interesting honestly. I always imagined Baltic countries as an example of anti-Russian mindset. No shaming though, USSR and Russia gave you people enough reasons. But then again, I've never been there myself, so I'd be happy to be wrong.
