Percentage-wise Latvia had more % of population in SS than any other country including Germany so i think the "Latvian" part did played at least some role.

Most of the Baltics and especially ukraine had large percentages of nazis.
Nothing has changed.

Ukraine actually had tiny % of nazis in WW2. It was like 250000 or so nazis compared to at least 7 million Ukrainian partisans and Red Army soldiers. It's just that west after war absorbed, coddled and promoted the nazi survivors and after 1991 send them back with a huge propaganda bucks, and in 2014 helped them organize the coup.

I'm having trouble following your logic here. Ninety-something year old former Nazis led a coup in 2014? Try again.
