The visa will only be issued to the Russians who will go to the funeral of a close relative. Since March, Latvia has issued visas only in humanitarian circumstances (illness, or death of loved ones, as well as journalists and relatives of Latvia). From February 25 to July 26, 654 visas were issued for these reasons.
