  • Los ultimos tiempos de la ocupacion rusa (si, los locales conocen al periodo como "la ocupacion", que no fue otra cosa). Un publico ruso en su mayoria, un idioma extranjero puesto como idioma oficial. Y un monumento (el de Lenin) que ya no existe mas: fue demolido en 1991 o cerca de 1991 en cuanto se vieron libres del gobierno extranjero. Tristes imagenes para los letones de verdad.

  • Subtitles please? It`s pointless to post this historical video without the proper english subtitles so that us (the rest of the world that is) who don`t speak Russki can be able to understand what Gorbi was saying to the people of Soviet Latvia.

    Thanks (Spassiba)
