The upside is both of my kids, as 1/4 Latvian descendants of displaced persons are eligible for right of return citizenship and are working through the process of getting it. 

Same here - I got mine "restored" a few years ago and now also have an EU passport.  My kids should finish the process to get theirs as well shortly.

My grandfather was a "partisan" against the Nazi's in one of the Baltic countries after being in the army there as a lieutenant.  They were welcomed at first as they were seen as a counter to the pro-Bolshevik activities that were starting to take over the Baltics during the 30's.  That ended quickly when the Germans disbanded the army so many in the military left and went "underground". 

As the Russians  approached, he took the family and was able to get on a train westward.  Train got stopped in Poland and all males between 13 and 60 were pulled off the train and "escorted" to another train headed east to help fight the Russian advance.  He had told my grandmother to go to a town in Austria to wait for him (with my dad and sister).  He jumped off the eastbound train and it took him a year but he met up with them in Austria (where my aunt had died of pneumonia while waiting...) 

They had an uncle who had migrated in the 20's that then sponsored them as refugees in the US and he spent the Cold War sending money and books to his friends who got left behind the Iron Curtain...  My family cemetery there has headstones dating back to the 1600's with my last name on them (but the village and church were destroyed in the war - with most remaining relatives sent to die in Siberian gulags - and were never rebuilt and the land is part of a national park now).

Needless to say - fuck Russia!

Yeah, that's a problem for me because of Jewish history. Supposedly, my great grandfather is from Portugal and met his wife in Ukraine and traveled to the US under an assumed name. Records suck and jews were in more like temporary villages rather than cities in eastern europe.

Hmm, good question that I should know the answer to. I was trying to get Portuguese citizenship and EU citizenship. Is Ukraine becoming a part of the EU? I could probably find my great grandmother's records (near Odessa) and it might even be straightforward. Maybe when Ukraine finally wins I can take care of it.

Not sure of the Ukraine rules (assuming the EU admits them eventually) and I think it's different in each EU country- in my case, restoration is based on if you can prove you had a relative who was a citizen before 1940 and it's good for 3 generations from them.  My dad was born there in 1941 but his birth wasn't "counted" and had to prove the relationship to his father.  My kids can get it and once they do, their kids will also get citizenship. 

Trying to get it done asap as EU citizenship opens up a ton of University opportunities (like free!) for EU citizens and wife and I can retire anywhere in the EU and full private medical is like $3000/year (as opposed to $3K a year here) and is an option for us until we can get on Medicare back here...

Well then, you should probably run away.  Here's a photo demonstrating the proper technique:

Oh come on, if we can't have fun with that, what good is living on this planet?  Funny is funny.

And that is funny! Even better if someone can add him to the last video of all the Russians running away from the exploding train!

My grandfather might have had the craziest right of return I’ve ever heard: he could prove his French Huguenot lineage back to an ancestor in Tidewater VA in the 1700s.  Technically he had right of return for French Citizenship due to the revocation of the Treaty of Nantes. He never gave a fuck.  Due to change in law in 1947, it died with him.

Damn. So the olds are starting to get pissed. 

I read somewhere that they were pretty harsh on vets of Afghanistan, considering them to be losers or an embarrassment.  And screwed up vets were kept out of sight.

Interesting thread.  Basically, Western Europe should be doing what they are doing, and even more here in 2022, because after 2014, they helped fund Russia (and by proxy its military) by continuing to buy resources, sell products (including military), and indulging rich Russian oligarchs.

Or TLDR: If Western Europe had acted in 2014 like they are now, then we wouldn't be in this situation.

Of all people, they should have known appeasement doesn’t work.

Appeasement or making lots of money off of Russians, while saving on oil and gas?

Well, the Germans in the post Cold War world have sorta carved out a niche of looking the other way all in the pursuit of unified worker-owner commerce.

Kind of? As with most things in the region, it’s complicated.  In the mid-1930s the Estonian government suspended most civil rights and elections and implemented authoritarian rule. Ironically, this was in response to a coup threat from an even more fashy “League of (Tsarist Army) Veterans”, who wanted the real deal. But it’s also important to know that you could be fascist-curious in that region in the 1930s and subscribe to authoritarian ideals but be far from the race-based, blood soaked vision of the Nazis.

 

By 1938, the last democracy standing in Central or Eastern Europe was Czechoslovakia.  All the others had succumbed to some form of authoritarian experimentation, partly driven by the neighborhood realities and partly by the fact that most of the world was far from settled on “fascism is bad.” 

I went back and looked it up, and the UNL guy was Latvia’s head of gov’t prewar, but I think it works out about the same

Dis quoi? Didn't know about the Huguenot angle.

I'd have to dig up records on a French guy buried somewhere in Scotland in the 1600s. Prolly be faster just to join the Foreign Legion.

How about this? I was fucking born in Germany (to US parents), have a German birth certificate and still can’t get an EU work visa!

US Citizen, born in Thailand. US decided no dual citizenship for Americans. Pick one or the other. Thais made me an offer when I was 18. I said no, went to UT to meet Coeds and drink at the Posse East. I wonder about that decision.

The 1947 law ended it for descendants.  It was use it or lose it.
