In Estonia, a part of Russia for centuries and independent only since about 20 years and where a significant percentage of the population is Russian, and logically speaking Russian, Estonian separatists ,called nationalist, inspected companies examining the knowledge of Estonian (a language with great future) and fine and punishes those who do not speak Estonian properly.

This happens now in Europe within the EU and, of course, the European Union looks away.

History

History of the Language Inspectorate dates back to 23 on November 1990 the year when the State Chancellery in the control of the Estonian SSR was created by the State Department on matters of language , whose main task was to implement the language policy and the development of legal acts on the basis and in pursuance of the language law in 1989 .

Since 1995 Language Department was transferred to the sphere of the Ministry of Education, and in 1998 was reorganized into the Language Inspectorate .

In 1995 he was appointed Director General of Inspection Ilmar Tomusk.

The objectives, powers and techniques

According to the approved 13 June 2002 the year Resolution № 55 Minister of Education, "Regulations on the Language Inspectorate" Language Inspectorate is acting under the control of the Ministry of Education by a government agency, whose main tasks consist in the exercise of state supervision and the use of state coercion on the bases and to the extent provided by law .

As stated on the website of the Language Inspectorate, its main task is

to ensure fair and independent oversight of compliance with the law on language, emanating from the linguistic rights of both Estonians and representatives of national minorities.

^[1]

The competence of the inspection includes:

·         supervise the execution of the requirements for language use in proceedings of public authorities and local governments, in the service sector, trade and health

·         supervision of compliance with the official use of literary language norm

·         monitor the implementation of the requirements for knowledge of the state language employees are responsible for knowing his duty.

To achieve these goals before the inspection, inspectors shall have the right to use various administrative measures from warnings to a very significant fines levied from the organizations and individuals, as well as instructions to government agencies and private companies to dismiss workers.

Activities and evaluation

The most famous ^{[2] [3] [4]} of the work of the Language Inspectorate is to carry out regular inspections in various institutions, where there is a significant number of Russian-speaking employees, formally obliged to know and use the Estonian language (such are, for example, a teacher of the Russian language in Russian schools or teachers in Russian kindergartens ^[4] ).

It is widely believed the Language Inspectorate as a repressive organ ^[5] , the main function of which is the constant pressure on the Russian-speaking part of Estonian society ^[6] . International organization Amnesty International described the agency as " repressive body, which prevents the spread of human rights " ^[5] . Among the Russian part of the Estonian population is widespread inspection unofficial name - Language Inquisition ^{[3] [4] [7] [8]} .

In the published March 2, 2010 report of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance it noted that according to some representatives of the Russian minority in Estonia, Language Inspectorate enjoys absolute power. The Commission recommended the establishment of a monitoring mechanism for the inspection activities and to consult regularly on these activities to the representatives of the Russian-speaking minorities, in order to improve their relations to the inspection ^[9] .

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in its decision on the situation in Estonia, issued August 27, 2010, recommended that the authorities review the role of the Estonian Language Inspectorate and abandon the punitive approach to language policy ^[10] .

Activities Inspectorate enjoys the approval and support of the Estonian nationalists ^[5] .

Apartheid in Europe?

Yes, in the Baltic countries..

In Latvia, there is strong discrimination against citizens who were born in Latvia and even your parents or grandparents were also born in Latvia. Just because they speak Russian and have Russian origin.

  Not only are not given citizenship. They can´t vote. Do not have a passport. They can´t work in certain jobs (in a "country" of less than 2 millions).

   The European Union is blind and deaf on the subject, nor seen the annual tributes to former Latvian Nazis and the Latvian Government refusal to prosecute war criminals Latvians, guilty of the murder of thousands of children, women and men.

This is nothing new in the Latvian mentality :

 In 1935, 94,000 Jews lived in Latvia, making up about 5 percent of the total population. Approximately half of Latvian Jewry lived in Riga, the capital. Latvian Jews were represented in all social and economic classes. There was a well-developed network of Jewish schools, with over 100 institutions.

In June and July 1941, following the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the Germans occupied Latvia.

Detachments of German Einsatzgruppen (mobile killing units), together with Latvian and Lithuanian auxiliaries, massacred most Latvian Jews. Ghettos were established in the larger cities of Riga, Dvinsk, and Liepaja. Several hundred Jews in the Riga ghetto organized resistance against the Germans. Small groups sought to escape from the ghetto.

 By the beginning of 1943 only about 5,000 Jews remained in Latvia. They were concentrated in the Riga, Dvinsk, and Liepaja ghettos and in a few labor camps. The largest of the camps was Kaiserwald, near Riga
In 1944 the Soviet army reentered Latvia, which again became a Soviet republic. Only a few hundred Jews remained in Latvia. About 1,000 Latvian Jews returned to Latvia from the Nazi concentration camps; several thousand others who had escaped to the Soviet Union during the war also survived

A terrible film about the killing of Jews.

A history :  

Fanny Judelowitz

Fanny was the oldest of three girls born to a Jewish family in the Baltic seaport of Liepaja, a city with a large Jewish community in Latvia. Fanny attended a Jewish primary school there. Her parents owned and operated a shoe store and small shoe factory.

1933-39: As a young girl, my life revolved around activities with Betar, a Zionist youth movement founded in Riga in 1923. We had a group of about 25 boys and girls. We studied about Palestine and our Jewish heritage. In 1935 my mother gave birth to my youngest sister, named Liebele. When I finished secondary school, at age 16, I left home for Riga to enter the university, where I studied nursing.

1940-44: In 1940 the Soviet Union occupied Latvia and I returned home. A year later, the Germans reached Latvia and occupied Liepaja within a week. The Germans immediately began rounding up and shooting Jewish men. My father was one of them. On December 15, 1941, my family was informed that we were being deported. We were rounded up and put in prison. Suddenly I heard my name. A guard said I was being released. Defiantly, I replied, "I'm not leaving without my mother and sisters." After a moment he said, "Take them and get out."

Fanny was eventually deported, and over the next few years was imprisoned in five concentration camps. She was liberated in Kiel on May 4, 1945.*

Latvian Volunteers
In 1943 these Latvians later and willingly joined the Latvian Legion, 15th and 19th detachments of the Waffen SS.

Old serial killers frre by the street and proud.

Riga 2013


One of the most decorated Latvian Waffen-SS officers, Roberts Ancāns, is placed at the base of the Freedom Monument.

As incredible as it may seem :

As in previous years, young Latvians arrived at the Monument of Freedom and desecrated the wreaths to the victims of Nazism.*
