[@kulnokaiklem]

In Estonia have. Biggest Vikings funeral with viking ship founded archaeologics on island Saaremaa in peninsula Sõrve - village Salme about 15 years ago .

[@ervinvonhimmel]

Vikings and/or Scandinavians were very important part of the lands (history) we call today Latvia, near Liepaja (Grobinja), in the western part of Latvia, on the sea-shore, in the 7-9th century was a huge Scandinavian colony Seeburg, the size of Birka, and most importantly, Daugava river was important river-way to go to Gardariki, Holmgard (modern-day Kyiv etc) and Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) for Scandinavians (Vikings). Also, the lands we call today Latvia are mentioned in sagas all over the place. Google it :)

[@user-tl5fz4ef8y]

How do you communicate in a Latvian city where 70% of residents are russophone?

[@ievaandkarlis]

You have wrong statistics friend only 16% are ethnic Russians in Riga :D we speak Latvian
