June 17, 1989. Mass demonstrations in Riga against Soviets

The secret protocol of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact marks the twilight of independence, as Germany and the USSR divide Eastern Europe. Latvia falls to the latter, and troops invade on June 17, 1940.

@daniellamanov Go ahead and cut your natural gas. It's about time we moved to wind and solar energy. Parts of Denmark are already energy independent. They don't need your smelly gas. And I doubt russia will "get better and better". Russia is too corrupt to get better. And russia cannot compete with NATO? Are you fucking stupid? USA alone has more military power than russia, china, india put together lol

[daniellamanov]

@normalais sure denmark might have a good "salary" but when the natural gas gets shut off it becomes no salary because people cant cook or get warm and there goes the downfall. russia is going better and better second country in everything. russia against nato a whole system of countrys against 1 giant country russia is like its own nato lol. and theres other countrys that support russia to and not nato like china,india,cuba,venezuela etc.

@antipilot007 Lai cik nežēlīgi tas skanētu, bet tā ir taisnība. Pēc Atmodas mūsējie ir aizmirsuši, kā protestēt. Visi tik atcerās, ka ir jādzied un gudri jārunā. Bet tas neliedz man mīlēt manu zemi. Esmu lepns, ka esmu viens no tiem nedaudzajiem, kam pasē rakstīts "Latvietis". Man ir vienalga, ko cilvēki saka par krieviem. Man ir ļoti daudz ļoti labu krievu draugu. Jo, ja godīgi, ne visi Latvieši ir tik pūkaini un mīļi, kā visi domā... Cilvēki ir dažādi un tā ir dzīve. Ar to jāsamierinās.
