22 марта 2022
Unfortunately, some countries have not learned the lessons of the Great Patriotic War. Thus, the mayor of Riga called to ban the celebration of Victory Day. According to him, it is "the day of Russian imperialism". At the same time, plans to demolish the memorial to Soviet soldiers in the capital city are being discussed in the country.  Local authorities arrange marches in memory of the Latvian SS Legion. For the first time in recent years, the event practically gained the state status, attracting about 1,500 participants last week.
