Russian Journalist Soloviev Declared Persona Non Grata in Latvia Thu 18th February 2021 | 07:30 PM
RIGA/MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 18th February, 2021) Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics announced on Thursday that Russian journalist Vladimir Soloviev was declared persona non grata in the country, and Soloviev noted he would discuss with his lawyers to file a lawsuit over the entry ban. I made a decision to add Russian citizen extruding to the list of persons regarded as undesirable by the Republic of Latvia. Latvia does not accept glorification of Nazism in any form, Rinkevics wrote on Twitter.
Earlier this week, Soloviev was widely criticized by Russianmedia for calling Adolf Hitler a very brave man during his tv show broadcast by Rossiya 1. The journalist claims that his words were taken out of context. Critics quote only part of his speech, which distorts the meaning of his point of view.
