EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a poignant moment in the history of Latvia during the Second Soviet Occupation (1944-1991). The image shows a vast expanse of land in Riga, the capital city of Latvia, transformed into military bases and firing ranges. The Cyrillic letters etched onto the trees serve as a stark reminder of the Soviet Union's (CCCP) dominance over the region. During this period, large areas of Latvia were repurposed for military use. The land was dotted with ammunition depots, armament factories, and training grounds where the Soviets honed their skills with weapons and projectiles. The use of Latvia as a military stronghold was a source of great hardship for the local population, who were often forced into labor camps to support the Soviet war effort. The Occupation Museum in Riga stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Latvian people during this challenging time. The museum documents the experiences of those who lived through the Soviet occupation and serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during this period. The bullet casings and other remnants of military activity scattered throughout the landscape are a haunting reminder of the past. This image offers a glimpse into a significant chapter in the history of the Baltic region and the European states that were once part of the Soviet Union. The Second Soviet Occupation left a deep impact on Latvia and its people, shaping the country's identity and political landscape for decades to come.
