It is a statement Putin made during the Council for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights organized by the Kremlin, which focused on Latvia's policy regarding the Russian-speaking minority.
Newsweek states that Latvia is one of three NATO and European Union members that share a border with mainland Russia.
It is also recalled that Latvia has previously faced backlash for passing laws that UN experts considered discriminatory against the country's minority ethnic groups, primarily Russians, including efforts to make Latvian the only language used in schools by 2025.
In May, Reuters reported that dozens of Russian citizens living in Latvia were ordered to take a basic Latvian language test to prove their "loyalty" to the Riga government in light of the war in Ukraine. "I don't think happiness will come to those who implement such a policy," Putin said at a session of the presidential council on Monday.
The RBC Ukraine portal stated that Putin was referring to policies in Latvia and other Baltic countries that the Kremlin claims are based on Russophobia or anti-Russian sentiment. According to the Riga database, as of 2023, roughly 24 percent of Latvia's population is part of the Russian minority.
"If they lead such a policy towards people who wanted to live in that country, work there, create something good for that country, and treat them in such a 'pig-like' way, then, after all, they will face such "pig-like" behavior in their country," added Putin.
But what is symptomatic is that, before launching his invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Putin repeatedly claimed, without evidence, that Kyiv was persecuting ethnic Russians and Russian-speaking citizens.
There is no phobia about the people.

Then why has your so called “free Ukraine” run a campaign of cultural genocide against the Russian language, history and culture? Why do you and your western hegemonic masters glorify Bandera and their Na4i past? Aren’t you in fact praising your 90 year old Na4i collaborators and Russophobia in your parliaments?

They have a controlled press that lies to them.
(Bob, 6 December 2023 14:09)
The press that wrote Putin has multiple terminal illnesses, or the press that wrote Russia has run out of ammunition in May 2022, or the press that wrote a snorkeler in a recreational boat blew up Nordstream pipelines, is this the press you are referring to?
They have suppression of any reasonable opposition to the current government.

Factual description the uniparty in the USA run by deep state neocons. Yes “Cookies Nuland” has been a political appointee in the US State Department irregardless of the monkey placed in the window display on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
They have to live with high levels of corruption, largely run by those at the top of the state. They live in a police state where they are not allowed to say what they actually think.

Factual examples: Julian Assange the bravest journalist in the world; or Edward Snowden who exposed corruption and criminal enterprise at the highest levels of the uniparty deep state USA.
There is a severe allergy however about the government and about the President in particular.

The President of the USA doesn’t know how to manage a staircase, formulate a sentence, or change his own diaper and every American is well aware of the demented state of its government and their false façades.

I live in Moscow, life has been difficult since Putin started the war with Ukraine. Only his removal from office and replaced by a democratic system of government. Unfortunately, Putin will not step down peacefully and must be removed from office by any means. There is, at present, an underground movement to remove Putin. I predict Putin will suffer the same fate as Kaddafi.

Russia recently shot down one of its own military aircraft over Ukraine, I wonder if it was Putin who pulled the trigger over

There is no such thing as Russophobia. In general, there is no dislike or fear of the Russian people, who are mainly decent and well liked..
In fact, we feel quite sorry for them. They have a pointless war that is costing the lives of their young men. They have a controlled press that lies to them. They have suppression of any reasonable opposition to the current government. They have to live with high levels of corruption, largely run by those at the top of the state. They live in a police state where they are not allowed to say what they actually think.
