The Latvians are part of the ancient group of peoples known as the Balts. During the 10th and 11th centuries, Latvian lands were under pressure: both from the Slavic east and from the Swedes in the west. During the time of the Crusades, German Saxons expansion reached the eastern shores of the Baltic. Because the people occupying the coast of Latvia were the Livs, the German invaders called the country Livland, a name rendered in Latin as Livonia. Lacplesis, Latvia’s epic, was written by Andrejs Pumpurs (1841-1902), who based his story line on existing Latvian folklore. The epic conjures up images of black magic, and also takes its fair share of shots at Germans. Lacplesis, or the Bear Slayer, is part man, part bear, whose epic began in pagan Latvia of 800 years ago, around the time of the nation’s conquest by German Crusaders. The epic recounts the exploits of a giant-sized Lacplesis—who endeavors to defend his homeland from assorted invaders. Lacplesis, with his bearish large, fuzzy ears, is a kindly figure, who goes into action whenever his fellow Latvians are in trouble. His specialty is marauding bears, which he can slay by ripping their jaws apart with his bare hands.

Latvian Money for Latvian production only Choral Festival 1938 Sigulda, Winter Invitation to Vilage On 16th June, 1940, the Russian Red Army attacked the Latvian border posts in Masļenki and Smaiļi. The USSR issued an ultimatum demanding the Latvian Government to resign and admit an unlimited number of Soviet troops to Latvia. The State President Kārlis Ulmanis and the government decided not to resist, in the hope of at least preserving the sovereignty of Latvia. On 17 June, 1940, the USSR occupied Latvia. After the Latvian Government’s forced resignation, the so-called “People’s Government” with Augusts Kirheršteins as the leader was established. Latvian government's activity was controlled by the USSR Embassy and Andrei Vyshinsky, Deputy Chairman of the Council of People’s Commissars of the USSR sent from Moscow. Ulmanis, being under house arrest, formally continued to carry out the State President’s duties. United in Work, United in Victory After Germany’s attack on the USSR, in the summer of 1941 Latvia came under the power of National Socialist Germany, which considered Latvia being not a freed and independent state, but rather an occupied territory of the USSR. Initially, Latvia was subordinated to German military administration, but from 1 September – to the civil administration. The general regions of Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania and Belarus became the constituent of the Reich Commissariat for Ostland established by the Nazis.

Anti-Semitic poster The uncompromising effort of the Soviet regime, in the first decade after the WWII, to transform the country into a typical Soviet bailiwick compounded the devastation of the war. Severe political repression accompanied radical socioeconomic change. A national renaissance developed in the late 1980s in connection with the Soviet campaigns for glasnost (“openness”) and perestroika (economic and political restructuring). An opposition Latvian Popular Front emerged in 1988 and won the 1990 elections. On May 4 the legislature passed a declaration to renew independence after a transition period. Soviet efforts to restore the earlier situation culminated in violent incidents in Riga in January 1991. After a failed coup in Moscow in August, the Latvian legislature declared full independence, which was recognized by the Soviet Union on September 6. All to the Election!

Shelflife. The books you keep tell the story of your own life. Clearing out boxes of books and personal belongings of lives once lived, I unpacked a whole bookshelf’s worth of Pan paperbacks neatly stored by their author and genre. I could recall the where and when of each book’s purchase and first reading, and of the best could well remember their stories back to front. There were a few of the books I read before age thirteen or so when I had a passion for picking up movie tie-in books and novels that had made thrilling and sometimes controversial films. These were bought new, most secondhand. Some were chosen solely because a favorite actor had starred in the film and was featured on the cover (the usual suspects of Oliver Reed, Peter Cushing, Sean Connery, and Michael Caine), or because they were dark tales of nightmarish horror or strange speculative science-fiction. No matter the reason, these books were keys to new worlds and passions. Everyone knows Penguin. They publish classic lit and high-end middle-class novels about those things people discuss over lattes. Pan books were thrillers, pulp novels, movie and TV tie-ins, romances, some classics (Bronte,...
