them, uh, 342 are buried there. uh, more than 300,000 people, and they are everywhere, yes, and one way or another, but they remind that it was important that latvia not follow the path of estonia , uh, which decided to reburial, so to speak, liquidate many fraternal cemeteries, to bring all these remains somewhere, so that it does not annoy the eyes of those who do not like it. there are a large number of mass graves. yes, uh, i really would not want latvia to go down this path, andrey thank you very much for the conversation, please, right now watch on our tv channel a documentary by latvian journalist andrey yakovlev to forget the latvian sniper.

we continue the tradition of celebrating the crossing or as aleksey sharifov called a good russian word throw, the liberation of the city of riga is small on may 9, a member of the latvian anti-nazi committee , andrey pagur, active participants in the annual reconstruction of the crossing of the kishozero, people of different ages gathered in the district of jundsens, a memorial stone from here, on october 44 , the landing operation began, putting the beginning of the liberation of the river 3,000 soldiers of the red army in the early morning on youtube overcame a water barrier and, unexpectedly for the germans, found themselves in

the territory of the capital of latvia. this tradition was born . is it true. recently, the authorities banned the use of the soviet uniform, in general, symbols for a cap with a red asterisk can get a large fine and a ban on organizing such events. her colors are not banned yet. former investigator police lawyer knows that the police and the state security services, which are closely watching the activists, will not have a claim to the flag, the sixth anniversary of the liberation of riga from the nazi invaders. cheers in the sixty-fourth, 20 years after the landing , the obelisk was solemnly opened here on the shore, which was captured by newsreels of the riga film studio. every year

, reenactors in soviet military uniforms and with weapons from the times of the great patriotic war stood on the guard of honor of the obelisk, to which people laid flowers to the liberators of riga carved in latvian and russian, the holiday on the shore ended with a concert and refreshments at the soldier's field kitchen. the main memorial to the soviet soldier, the monument to the liberators of riga , had long been in need of repair, when it became clear that the restoration work of the authorities would not give money. andrey and his comrades created a background for collecting private donations. and the first step, of course, was the creation of technical documentation. she was completely done, surveying the monument to understand, how much money do we need? when andrey got acquainted with the biography of the hero of the soviet

union janis wilsons, he suggested that such a warrior is worthy, at least a commemorative plaque? documents in the national archives say that the famous sniper was born in the village of adazi, not far from riga , from which the nato winhands base is now located, although not fashionable today, the soviet but still mastered the latvian. in addition, the holder of the american cross for distinguished service, the highest award the us army, which also fought nazi germany, wilkins received at 43. which means andrey suggested to the americans, maybe the cavalier, their combatant, is not indifferent. the latvian military museum of the order keeps a unique exhibit. a sniper rifle, as well as his personal item, a flashlight spoon and a sapper shovel. after the end of the service. he donated all this to the museum, which was then called the museum of the revolution. and they say, of course, the mosin rifle is an excellent weapon, but i can’t believe it,

a small chair, not long to hit, was for sure. and, if he didn’t hit far, he would start to get close. andrey is trying to count the notches on the fore-end of the rifle, made by the number of destroyed enemies is 160 42. i'm not a pigkeld became the most famous sniper on the northwestern front. postcards were written about him in the newspapers, and having gained experience, he began to teach others as an instructor and initiator of the sniper movement. under his leadership , 300 well-aimed marksmen were trained, who destroyed thousands of enemy soldiers and officers. but first, he showed himself in an open battle, the award list says that in the battles near naro-fominsk borovsk in december of the forty-first year, comrade vilkam showed exceptional courage and bravery he sees. law crawled up to the enemy jonats and the enemy's hand grenades thrown into the embrasures. his time

was fired from a submachine gun by more than 10 germans. when repulsing the attack of enemy tanks , he personally knocked out the first tank, received three wounds, but continued to remain in service. he fought as part of the 201st latvian rifle division , for which the name latvian was later established; citizens of the latvian ussr latvians 51% russians 26 jews, 17 6% of other nationalities in october 42 the guards banner was awarded to the division from that moment on. it became known as the 43rd guards latvian rifle division.

41 during the offensive near moscow, the latvians struck their courage with already well-worn front-line soldiers, the division operated, as part of the 33rd army under the command of general mikhail efremov, the enemy was driven back from the capital many trophies were captured; 55% there is a moscow region, a latvian village near the latvian station, the 75 km junction was renamed into it, for which the regiment of the latvian division fought in naro-fominsk, where general efremov is honored in his honor , one of the central streets of the city is named after him, there is also a street of the latvian latvian division perished, because the division during the war of the small tree. now you will see everything there and see everything there. there will be a monument, we even had a sister city. yes, the corner after the battles under the blow of fominsky was given the task of freeing borovsk and it was carried out on january 4th, the forty

-second officer of the latvian division was photographed against the background of the entrance to svyato pafnutev. borovsky monastery. one of the old temples of the district, the church of dmitry of thessalonica , was saved from destruction by latvian scouts during the occupation, the nazis set up ammunition depots here, and when the liberation of the borovsky district began, the scouts were under command. uh, just from the 201st latvian kezberis division, but they were able to, uh, this temple of occupations and the fascists did not have time to retreat. uh blow up. these warehouses are scientific nelly petrovna lyshkareva, an employee of the borovsk museum of local lore, shows a clipping from a regional newspaper with a report on a rally that took place in november 1947 in connection with the opening of monuments in the city center. the memorial is located two dozen meters from the museum. here we met with engineer sergei luchkin, who, with his comrades, took

the initiative and set up in borovsk next to lettishskaya street, which is also in this city, a square named after the commander in the 201st division. is on the stand of the museum of latvians. we remember, their exploits are remembered by them, and their growth and generation and young, and we pass on ivanova petrov to our children. they did not live to see the victory until liberation, native latvia was still very, very far away. it is unlikely that they could imagine that in a decade their brother-soldiers would be called occupiers, those who occupied with their monuments would not be here in riga or in the daugs. nowhere in latvia sveta he stole victory in ukraine

thank you dear after february 24 , representatives of the latvian nation, the elite became declare that russia's aggression against ukraine has opened a historical window of opportunity to deal with the occupation monuments at home - official, latvia for ukraine bandera and against ukraine that is somehow connected with russia at the end of february, all relations were interrupted by rhetoric. naturally, the rhetoric on the head of the riga duma has changed, he has also changed, concluded in the ninety-fourth year , the russian-latvian agreement did not allow the demolition of soviet monuments. their damage, desecration were considered a violation of the law 24 in on the night of 24-25, firstly, a man with a hammer appeared, who smashed this wall, and then at night he would still be doused with paint. we

arrived in the morning. we started cleaning. we realized that this could all happen again and we organized the night watch. a series of acts of vandalism began, an unequal struggle between those who wanted to desecrate the monuments and those who wanted to protect them . impossible on the territory of latvia are 3. two soviet military graves, where more than 300,000 people are buried, plus memorials and memorials, where there are no burials, but which remind of important events and heroic people andrey, trying to reach out to fellow citizens, recorded videos, referring to them in latvian and in russian today a memorial stone is desecrated, on which there is a tablet that reads july 28, 1944. it was from this place

that the operation began, the liberation of the city of yalkova, a two-meter stone 5 km from yelga on the highway to on the side of lithuania, this is the sixth memorial object smeared with paint, andrey pogur and his comrades have already gained certain experience and skills in removing traces, antalism, people who desecrate our monuments. these are the fascists, these are the nazis, who do not celebrate may 9, because for them it is not victory day, but the day of defeat, active people quickly shared. there was no information available to put the monuments in order in case of desecration and although one crew was assigned to duty at the monument to the liberators. in the distance at night, of course, was not in able to keep track of the territory of the memorial. especially the first weeks were the hottest two weeks. it’s just that at night i was on duty near the monument and

every night we had 5-6 options, when people came with paint to desecrate something, write something , someone’s poster, prevent something from being painted painted, they prevented precisely guys, originally watch athletes in april early march. in latvia began ukraine information space and environment. yellow-block colors began to dominate in cities and towns on the radio sounded news releases on the ukrainian model everywhere ukrainian flags from the cabinet of ministers and the ministry of foreign affairs to schools, hospitals , electronic screens, banners, websites. the media of private companies are even painting trams yellow-blocked; atm screens are calling to help ukrainian residents with supplies to ukraine . latvia indeed, everything in the world will come out on top with its military budget. this, of course, is not so much out of love for ukraine and ukrainians. how many because of hostility to russia for ukraine and against putin leads

the president himself is an ehillelite in latvia, he is the most significant official categorically, advocating the ousting of the russian language later in an interview. he will also speak in the spirit that the russian-speaking celebrating victory day should be sorted out and isolated. the rally russian voice against the war was given the most prestigious venue in the heart of riga near the freedom monument in latvia there are too many russians who after february 24 do not condemn russia it is necessary to express support for the latvian officialdom in russian condemn the aggression try to convince at this, as it were, an anti -war rally, of course, no one remembers the dead children of donbass eight years of suffering for civilians in donetsk lugansk and high-status, more high-profile,

newcomers who recently arrived in latvia, editor of new newspapers kirill martynov, actress chulpan khamatova, who hastened to latvia this opportunity that we are here, that we are safe, that i can stand on this stage and say what i feel, and i'm afraid of any consequences, the theater manager who hired the actress as a director. alvi. scheme. soon he will call russia a fascist state, and later russian zombies, who turned on the self-destruction mode. not all russian orcs. we owe the rest. well, even if there are 75 percent of them in russia and there is a certain amount of latvia to bring to our side to the side of the world, those on the side of the light the russian position also proposes to change the russian flag, according to the lawyer and elena lukyanova, it should be white-blue-white , but on the russian flag. who

knows what it is? it's that anti-war the russian committee took for the new future flag of the future russia on it. there should be no blood on it, there should not be a red stripe on it, the author of an open letter to russian speakers, a journalist, olga dragileva claims that she is ashamed of her native language for a generation ahead , my native language is the language of murders. rape and torture in a letter from russian-speakers sounds like a call not to celebrate may 9 in victory park, which in the current conditions means support for the war in ukraine in everyday life. passed the immortal way. this year the number of participants has increased significantly today in the ranks of the regiment there are 20,000 people since then, folk festivals at the monument were no longer held, but on may 9, thousands of people

still brought flowers here, the monument began to be fenced off, first supposedly in the language of the species, then without explanation, just so that people could not gather flowers, cut the foot of the monument carried by employees of the municipal enterprise or the police fighting the victory day in latvia seven urgently approved one time law. recognition of may 9, 22 as the day of remembrance of the victims in ukraine, which in itself was perceived as a provocation. but the most important provocation happened early in the morning, the next day they raked and threw flowers into a dump truck, which thousands of people brought to the stone. the meme about the nazi latvian tractor in a few hours, scattered far beyond the borders of latvia, insults only rallied on may 10 to the monument. even those who had never come here before, especially a lot of people came in the evening after work, as later they wrote in social networks in front of the monument

they laid out a carpet in 77 rows. in honor of the 77th anniversary of the victory, since there was no longer a fence, people did not disperse to the police in order to push peaceful people away on victory day. yes, and they swore an oath to serve the people of this latvia and not their boss, a dumbass. the police special forces did not receive a clear order to disperse the crowd. for which there really was no reason for the next day , three middle managers from the police would be fired. latvian news correspondent television clarified the attitude of the audience to the ninth of may and to the war in ukraine and to how they tell the latvian media what do you want to mount any video and expose as if russia did it russia does not do it. why do we pay for life, although fascism is also to the left, and we will stop mine, we

will stop the russian fascists. we are russians. we are not afraid of anyone and it is never clear what you will do. you will see it with your own eyes in the morning, president livets. will call the behavior of those gathered at the monument disrespectful to the latvian state and latvians seven will cancel the article of the russian latvian treaty on the preservation of memorials. and the riga duma will erect a monument to the liberators to dismantle the duma. the president will praise and call on patriots to support the procession of the patriots of latvia. it is our time that we set off on the basis of the declaration of the restoration of the independence of latvia 90. the concept of a fifty-year occupation may seem nonsense from the point of view of common sense, but the occupation regimes are mentioned in the preamble of the constitution written in school textbooks. the thesis is constantly heard in the speeches of politicians.

many thirty-year-old latvians, who themselves did not live under the ussr, are probably really convinced that for almost half a century the latvian people groaned under the yoke of the soviet occupation, and now the russians must answer for this with a slogan where they will russify latvia more and more popularly down with the stone of the occupiers from our sacred land. the procession from the freedom monument ends with a concert in the park near the monument to the liberators, as well as the adoption of a law that will allow the non-loyal to be expelled from latvia or their citizenship to be sewn. this is a chair shame and a monument to the occupation. this has not been a symbol of liberation for a long time, so wave it and say, we will never see each other, join the warship and bathe in 85 in the year of the fortieth anniversary of the victory in

the center of the memorial, symbolizing the victory salute stella crowned with five-pointed stars. on the left is the motherland, on the right is a group of victorious soldiers of nazism, it so happened that after the collapse of the ussr in independent latvia , pursuing a policy of rewriting history , squeezing out the russian language, destroying russian education, the monument became place. where the rezhane came on may 9 to feel not humiliation, but unity and pride. - it's benefit in every order products from your favorite stores with discounts up to 60% free shipping.

began before the official approval of the list in the ugric region demolished a memorial stone in honor of madeleine's liberation on may 9, the self-government of the yelgar region will remove the stone, which washed off the red paint. on may 15 andrey will be mutilated by a grinder, obelisk at the kishozero for labor, the word liberator in latvian and russian. in june , the burial place under the monument, from which the tractor had been torn down a year before, was dug up. a gun. and then the remains of the general and two colonels 130 the latvian corps was solemnly reburied, but after all, the graves promised not to touch everything crosses out. in my opinion. this is the decision of the ekapil regional duma regarding the demolition of the pedestal where the cannon was stolen. yes, i saved up and these demolitions to the columns that were installed by the hero of the soviet and this is a fool's game that supposedly we are not aware that there is a burial place, although all historians say

all the archives. they say they saved the government approved a list of sixty-nine monuments, subject to the nose of 29 of them, as calculated by the local historian alexander is equally connected with the memory of the latvians , it is impossible to challenge this decision in latvia, the only way out is to apply to international structures. the russian union of latvia announced the collection of signatures for a petition to be submitted to the european parliament. for several hours now, we have been counting all the signatures of all those people who came, were not too lazy, were not afraid, and signed elena usikova. she brought a signed appeal from the stucco city where she lives heroically resisted in june forty -first for a week for the wehrmacht's rapid offensive, also a few monuments in the list for demolition 10.100. oh, 10.10. of course, no one has big illusions about the european parliament, including the co-chair of the russian union of latvia tatyana zhdanov, but to speak with those who

are still ready to listen and hear to apply to international structures, it is necessary to know that i did not plant hamsa, there were no children , but there must be at least some relatives of vkontakte with them. it is easier to install a commemorative plaque , the coordinates of those who care for the grave in the cemetery, the beater is not allowed to personal data. and the answers to the official request. not yet. andrew in the mountains i came to the cemetery to find the grave and leave a note with my phone there. they suddenly call back. i am sure that a huge number of latvians do not know at all that who i am is not knocked down a hand, and we want to be born together. i'm not with wilh installed a plaque commemorative plaque on this man and the heroes of latvia later an official answer with the phones of those graves will come, but no one answered the calls. and yet it will be possible to find a person who can tell more about the fork. historian eric jagars met with

a former sniper when he worked in the editorial office of the encyclopedia of the latvian ussr and i noticed that there would be no encyclopedia. i'm on the fork. i went to the editor-in-chief of the encyclopedia, academician wilis samstvo, and said there is petrovich , we don’t have the virus ourselves. who said good. you go to him, they took everything out. there on the spot we will decide the historian. i went to the riga apartment of the former majorvilles sniper. after working for the police. in jurmala, he retired at 65 and was a personal pensioner. went to the house. everything was neatly tidied up. well, he greeted me very well , laid out his folders with documents in front of me, showed me this american order. stalin firmly

squeezed his hand, and at parting affectionately in a fatherly way eric jaggers said goodbye. i tend to trust more, the notes made in pencil according to the words of the officer, they are stored in the funds of the former the party archive led me to an empty room and put me in the center of this room and stalin came out from the side doors and greeted me. in the evening he would have imagined that the junior lieutenant of the 201st latvian rifle division and then began to ask him only one question, tell me a. you are sure that you will defeat them in this war and the decrepit answered. yes, we will win, and that was all they wanted to hear from him. the audience is over. it was the rarest case when a junior lieutenant. you accept the supreme command, he has not yet used popular with those in power.

no articles about him appeared anywhere in any magazine or newspaper about him, but there is no big one, like a scripture, except for the war years, of course . on the square not far from the main temple, the russian armed forces in kubinka , the national guard orchestra performs, companies with children come here to take a walk, relax , interesting and useful to visit, the nearby patriots park museum complex, the road of memory encircles the temple with an open ring in the gallery with a length of 1.418 steps, every day of the great patriotic war is mentioned in the hall of the complex, you can immerse yourself in the most authentic atmosphere of those tragic and heroic events. there are also 36 million virtual cards of war participants. if
