  • Head of the governmental commission on calculation of loss and damages inflicted by the USSR occupation Edmunds Stankevics: decolonisation would be a logical process
  • Russian NGOs are preparing for celebration of 65th anniversary of liberation of Latvia from Fascism

Vesti Segodnya reports that head of the governmental commission on calculation of loss and damages inflicted by the USSR occupation Edmunds Stankevics in an interview with national radical newspaper DDD has stated that the commission will probably present results of its work in 2010. According to Mr. Stankevics, Soviet-era migrants and their descendants also inflicted damage to Latvia and, therefore, decolonisation would be a logical process.

Latvijas Avize reports that several Russian NGOs are preparing for celebration of 65th anniversary of liberation of Latvia from Fascism. Conferences and various commemorative events are being planned for 2008 and 2009. The newspaper alleges that some NGOs organising the events are disloyal towards Latvia and that they are propagating a false view of history hostile to Latvia.
