OREANDA-NEWS A well—known Russian journalist and blogger, Bozhena Rynska (real name Malashenko), who lives in Latvia, has claimed that Russians are being harassed by the country's authorities. She revealed the details in an interview with Sheinkin40 channel on YouTube.

"It didn't seem to me [before] that the Russian-speaking population was somehow being infringed here, but now I see that these infringements [exist], that they offend the Russian population," Rynska said. She clarified that the harassment is coming from the government and deputies. At the same time, ordinary residents of the country do not show Russophobia in everyday communication.

"But when you listen to what the government is doing, the antics of them and the deputies, the statements of the deputies, you just throw up your hands. You think, "Well, why is he shitting in his own country?""— Rynska was indignant. She also considered Latvia's policy against the Russian-speaking population to be stupid.

Earlier it was reported that the Tverskoy district Court of Moscow fined Rynska 20 thousand rubles. She was found guilty of inciting hatred.
