Rīgas sargi (Defenders of Riga) is highest budget ever latvian movie (around 4 mio USD). Entire WWI town was build for the needs of this movie. You can see it here- http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelfeh... decorations are simply amazing- and it's possible for 4 mio USD because production and building costs in Latvia 70% less than in Western Europe or USA. And, of course, actors aren't such world known celebrities and don't get as much as would get Holywood stars Story is about 11 november 1919. WWI was over but renegade german general with russian aristocrate Bermont- Avalov decided to take control of newly formed Latvia and attacked the capital city Riga. Their army that was formed from mercenaries and german elite divisions was surprisingly defeated by latvian army that had poor equipment and consisted of volunteers. From that day november 11 is a day when we, latvians, remember our patriots that could make a miracle and show the world that we deserved our country
It's expected some time this year on big screns in Latvia

I have yet to get a sensible answer about my "Rigas Sargi" question. The hero fought against Germany for both Tzarist and then communist Russia. This took place between 1915-1919. The Soviet Union created the free Republic of Latvia while the Germans were undermining it in an effort to take over all of the Baltics. Germany clearly has been the enemy of the Baltics but those same Baltics fought alongside Hitler to destroy their benefactor. Are Balts just plain crazy?
are you a dick head? can you not read the previous post by myself. fuck off this great war clip and discuss nazi germany some where else. (Preferably under water with concrete in your mouth).
He is a dick head that's why he spends all his time on you tube posting mindless crap about how evil Nazis are; how great soviet Russia is etc etc etc.
so really would he ever get a sensible answer ie one he likes - highly unlikely
It seems that Latvia is ungrateful to Russia. Because of Russia, independent Latvia was born while Germany wanted to negate it. So when Russia entered Latvia in '40, the Lats should have understood that Stalin needed a reliable buffer against Hitler and should have welcomed the Russians with flowers. But instead, treacherously, Latvia turned against Stalin and threw in with Hitler. This explains why Latvia was punished by the Soviets after WWII ended. Stalin hated perfidy which Latvia practiced.
I saw this film on DVD with subtitles and pose this question. Martins goes off to war to fight for the RUSSIAN czar. And on behalf of the Russian empire, against whom was Martins fighting? GERMANY. And Martins also fought on behalf of communist Russia. The war ends and the Republic of Latvia is born. But the Germans decided to attack Riga and to take over the entire Baltic region. Latvia mobilizes and beats Germany. It's obvious Germany was always Latvia's enemy so why do Lats hate Russia?
because of jewish dick lickers like you. hay moron this is a clip about the great war - not the nazi's. Take you chip on you shoulder and fuck off to a clip about the Latvian SS. oh and take you 'soviet percussions' too.
oh my god! you can read subtitles? how wonderful for you considering grandma was snuffed out by the evil Latvian SS. how about you read the back of the DVD cover, what does it say? events in the first world war moron, not a Nazi in sight. therefore piss off!!!!!!!
will you fuck off? Any other lat that read the moron above comment don't argue with him, he is an internet troll looking for people to abuse. please feel free to message me any other video he comments on we are having him banned off you tube for violating the terms of service.
