Where people want to leave the country Latvia is one of the most prosperous countries of the former USSR, but at the same time, one of the poorest in the European Union. During the years of independence, the country faced many problems and a third of the population left it. At the same time, almost 2 million people remain to live in Latvia and foreigners and refugees from Ukraine move here. For a long time, Latvia and Jurmala were a favorite place of the post-Soviet elite and show business. Now, the Latvian resorts are not so fun. The country is facing a crisis and rising prices. Language and ethnic problems are not as acute in Latvia now as in the 90s, but thousands of residents of the country are still considered non-citizens. This will be a video about another Baltic country, a little earlier there were Estonia and Lithuania.
