Latvia, Russia: Language Issue
Written byVeronica Khokhlova
Marginalia writes on the “language issue” in Latvia – and in Russia: “Over at the corner store, after years of learning to shop in Russian, I finally asked whether the cashier ever planned to learn the word for milk in Latvian (it being emblazoned in large letters on every carton in the cooler). No — that would be diskriminatsiya, she said.”
