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.

I forgive your lack of logic, but if you think that government supported ideology just magically stops spreading and carrying on to the next generation and is biologically confined to the original group, there's no point of explaining anything because you would not follow it too.
