If that was about any officially "bad country" western media would immediately cry genocide. Hell they are crying genocide about China where the minorities population is increasing.

I’d imagine the number of Portuguese in Macao and the number of British in Hong Kong would show similar movements to Russians in Latvia - but I wouldn’t immediately call it genocide; but then I’m no expert.
