There was only a six year different in their ages but because Eriks was older and already finished with university to him Elvira seemed to be too young for him.

reconsider previous work and reformulate the notion of nationalizing states (Brubaker 2011, 1787).

These states were Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan as nationalizing states. Also, to help him convey his purpose he describes of five motifs.
