The Soviet Union occupied and colonized Latvia with ethnic Russians for many decades and still doesn't accept that Latvia is an independent country, yet when the Latvian government worries that ethnic Russians may be vulnerable to Russian agitation, the question isn't "why do the Latvians hate the Russians?" but "Why do ethnic Latvians hate the Russians?"
Funny how the "why do they hate us" questions never work against our foes.
