Latvia: Russian fascist symbols continue to appear in public

Russian fascist symbols continue to appear in public places in Latvia, LSM reports. In the latest incident, the letters Z and V, which indicate support for Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, were spray-painted onto a bus stop along the Jelgava highway in Olaine. Public outcry prompted state road management company Latvijas Valsts Celi to finally remove the symbols. More than 580 such incidents were registered in Latvia in 2023.
