Edvīns Šnore (born 21 March 1974, in Saulkrasti) is a Latvian film director and politician.

He first studied political science in Norway, and then earned his master's degree at the University of Latvia.

He also refers to Minister of Social Affairs of Latvia Alfreds Bērziņš saying "… the Russian louse, once let into a coat, is hard to get rid of" and Paul A. Goble that "…the Russian language is exactly the primary weapon of the Kremlin's hybrid war against the Baltic States".

Mr Šnore was reprimanded by the parliamentary ethics commission - with the mildest possible punishment, an oral warning.

The article and the mild reaction to it have drawn criticism from two Council of Europe bodies - the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance[9] and the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities.
