My Latvia. (part 2 of 2)

Several decades ago, Latvian filmmaker Albert Jekste produced a grim, gripping documentary entitled "My Latvia" depicting the Soviet conquest and occupation of the Baltic States.

A documentary featured of the illegal Soviet military occupation of the three Baltic states in 1940. This unusual film, which illuminates communist methods of internal subversion and conquest, includes rare scenes of Stalin and other Soviet leaders attending closed Kremlin meetings, and examines the criminal background of the Latvian nationals who "invited" the Soviets into that country and subsequently assumed high communist government posts.

In August 1939, Hitler and Stalin signed a treaty called the "Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact" to make Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union allies and divide Europe between them.

In September 1939, Hitler invaded Poland from the west and Stalin invaded Poland from the east, starting World War II.

In late September 1939, Stalin threatening to invade and occupy Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania if they did not permit him to maintain military bases there. He promise to honor their sovereignty. After Poland's fate, the three Baltic countries saw no alternative but to yield.

In June 1940, the Soviets broke their promises, took over the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian governments, and killed or deported virtually all political and business leaders. Stalin subsequently declared that the Baltic countries had "volunteered" to become part of the Soviet Union.

It's a great powerful movie. Beeing myself lithuanian I understand what our 3 Baltic countries had to go through. God bless Latvia, Lietuva and Eesti! Communists rot in hell!

There are 1,5 million Latvians and about 140 million Russians in the World. The size of nations is extremely different. And we are independent. Thats the Baltic power. And the truth always wins. :)

Un tas, ka tagad Latvieši spiesti braukt uz Uk. IRland... tas ir tikai krievu okupācijas sekas, jo sēž padomē jeb saimā.. paši tie paši sranie komunisti... :( Un diktē savas huiņas. A tu politisko demagoģiju smerdelis.... Neko nesaproti no ši te ko es raxtu... Vot paskuda :D :D:D

иди на хуй лабатая свинья. как были 1000 лет холопами, так ими и остались. Вас Россия выкупила со всеми патрахами у Швеции в 1721 году, пыталась людей сделать, но видимо не судьба.

А теперь за 20 лет полностью свою страну просрали, распродали, потеряли 800 000 человек. И осталось только мыть британские туалеты и полоть ирландские грядки, вымаливать подачки у США и ЕС, и ныть что во всем виноваты русские.
