Highly doubt Leonid was ethnic Latvian, at least full.
1.His full name is definitely Eastern Slavic (Belarussian/Russian/Ukrainian) and not Baltic
2. He was Eastern Orthodox https://nl.findagrave.com/memorial/240704307/leonid-fedotowsky
3. His eldest son Andre (Ali’s uncle) ,who was born in Riga, spoke Russian but not Latvian
