Is it very difficult for them to become citizens? Do they have political rights? -- Are the Russians denied the right to use their language in Latvian society and in the schools? -- Were the Baltic lands a small, underdeveloped province in a far corner of Europe, to which Germans, Swedes, Poles, and Russians brought religion, culture, and well-being and where no prerequisites for independence existed? -- Did the Latvian Reds help Lenin seize power in Russia?: Did they help to murder the Russian royal family? -- Was Latvia granted independence as a present? Was the War of Independence an exaggerated myth? Was it a series of minor skirmishes that the Latvians were able to win with foreign help? -- Why did the Latvians not resist the Soviet army?s taking over their country in 1940?: Did the people carry out an anti-bourgeois, anti-fascist revolution, after which Latvia joined the Soviet Union legally, by means of elections? -- Did Latvians murder their Jews in 1941?: How anti-Semitic is and was Latvia? -- Why did tens of thousands of Latvian volunteers fight in the SS troops, and why are SS veterans still allowed to march on the streets of R?ga instead of being brought to justice? -- Did the Soviet Union occupy Latvia?: Were the Latvians victims of genocide? -- Did the Latvians succumb to Soviet power, cooperate with the Communist authorities, and start their independence movement only after the Lithuanians and Estonians had begun theirs? -- Has Latvia always belonged to Russia and benefited from it? Is it a strategically indispensable area for Russia? -- Shouldn?t Latvia be grateful for factories, houses, schools, roads, and harbors built during the Soviet era? Shouldn?t she pay compensation as well? -- Has Latvia been unwilling to establish good relations with neighboring Russia? Does Latvia champion an intransigent, hostile line toward Russia in the European Union, and did she decline a border agreement with Russia? Does she demand that Russia hand over some border areas to her? -- Have the new leaders of Latvia privatized state property for their own use and are they guilty of massive corruption while the majority of the people live in poverty? -- Acknowledgements -- Basic Facts About Latvia -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index. 330 $aWhat do we know about Latvia and the Latvians? A Baltic (not Balkan) nation that emerged from fifty years under the Soviet Union ? interrupted by a brief but brutal Nazi-German occupation and a devastating war ? now a member of the European Union and NATO. Yes, but what else? Relentless accusations keep appearing, especially in Russian media, often repeated in the West: ?Latvian soldiers single-handedly saved Lenin?s revolution in 1917?, ?Latvians killed Tsar Nikolai II and the Royal family?, ?Latvia was a thoroughly anti-Semitic country and Latvians started killing Jews even before the Germans arrived in 1941?, ?Nazi revival is rampant in today's Latvia?, ?The Russian minority is persecuted in Latvia. . .? True, false or in-between? The Finnish journalist and author Jukka Rislakki examines charges like these and provides an outline of Latvia's recent history while attempting to separate documented historical fact from misinformation and deliberate disinformation. His analysis helps to explain why the Baltic States (population 7 million) consistently top the enemy lists in public opinion polls of Russia (143 million). His knowledge of the Baltic languages allows him to make use of local sources and up-to-date historical research. He is a former Baltic States correspondent for Finland's largest daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat and the author of several books on Finnish and Latvian history. As a neutral, experienced and often critical observer, Rislakki is uniquely qualified for the task of separating truth from fiction. 410 0$aOn the Boundary of Two Worlds$v15. 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aDiplomatic relations$2fast 606 $aInternational relations$2fast 606 $aPublic opinion$2fast 607 $aBaltic States$xForeign relations 607 $aLatvia$xForeign public opinion 607 $aLatvia$xForeign relations$zRussia (Federation) 607 $aLatvia$xForeign relations 607 $aBaltic States$2fast 607 $aLatvia$2fast 607 $aRussia (Federation)$2fast 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 7$aDiplomatic relations. 615 7$aInternational relations. 615 7$aPublic opinion. 676 $a327.4796 700 $aRislakki$b Jukka$01489335 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782380703321 996 $aThe case for Latvia$93710017 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03287nam 2200601 450 001 9910828833403321 005 20220525020853.0 024 7 $a10.31819/9783954870004 035 $a(CKB)3280000000011340 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001491102 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11802148 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001491102 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11496336 035 $a(PQKB)10401119 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3226635 035 $a(DE-B1597)516060 035 $a(OCoLC)908044608 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783954870004 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC6326413 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL6326413 035 $a(OCoLC)992041258 035 $a(FlNmELB)ELB36913 035 $a(EXLCZ)993280000000011340 100 $a20220525d2012 uy 0 101 0 $ager 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aAkten, archive, absolutismus? $edas kronarchiv von Simancas im herrschaftsgefu?ge der spanischen Habsburger (1540-1598) /$fMarc Andre?
