Riga streets ‘disinfected’ after Waffen SS march

Anti-fascism protesters cleaned the area around the Freedom Monument in Riga on Monday, after supporters and former members of the Latvian Legion of the Nazi Waffen SS marched earlier in the day to honor those who lost their lives fighting on the German side during World War II.

Protesters held placards depicting war crimes carried out by the Nazis. The march was organized to celebrate Legionnaires Day, which pays tribute to veterans who fought alongside German troops during World War II.

According to Rushists, anyone who defends their country against Russian invasion is a Nazi.

Those veterans fought against USSR, who occupied Latvia. They didn't fight for Germany, they were not Nazis.

[Jehan]

I agree people who defend their contry are to much assimilate with nazi. But in this case it's the "Latvian Legion of the Nazi Waffen SS".

[Virtuous]

Comedians.

Those veterans fought against USSR, who occupied Latvia. They didn't fight for Germany, they were not Nazis. I clearly agree with you.
Ofcause they weren't a nazies, they were just cheap nazy's servants.
More glore to noble spratstanians!

And don't forget, that all your proud spratstans were sold to Russia with spratstanians as bipedal cattle (excellent definition, isn't it?).
And maybe in this reason all spratstanians so hate and affraid of Russia, cause they await for moment, when russian goverment will say: "yo. beggar shit, where is my money with percents?".

[Loxie]

Some of you guys don't understand. For you there were only two sides in the WWll, Nazis and the alliance. But for some countries it was more tragic.

Some countries were attacked by 2 enemies. USSR invaded our country first, and then Germans invaded. UK, USA and other allies turned their backs on Eastern Europe. What were we left to do when two enemies attack, and you are betrayed by the rest of the world... You pick the side in hopes that one enemy will destroy the other.

As I said, Latvians did not support Nazis, in fact Germans were really hated at the time, all the centuries of slavery Latvians had to endure under German landlord rule were still in a recent memory.

I'm clear like glass.

According to Nidshtat peace contract (agreement?) Peter the Great bought part of your country in Sweden for 2.000.000 gold tallers.
Ekaterina the II bought another piece from herzog Peter Biron for 2.000.000 rubbles and ewer-year pension payment in 69.000 tallers.

So, your ancestors were sold as bipedal cattle in addition to lands.

[Loxie]

A thief bought from a thief. And we're supposed to pay the money we never held in our hands?

[Dandelion]

[ЛыSSый]

A thief bought from a thief. They all not a thieves. Let me repeat, if you didn't understand from first time:
Swedes not thieve these lands, they got it as strong masters.
Russians not thieve these lands, they bought it as civilised country.

And we're supposed to pay the money we never held in our hands?
Are you giving your cow some money for her milk?

Excuse, russians not guilty that swedes thought that all your ancestors just a bipedal cattle. Let me say some more to you: russians were the first, who decided, that your ancestors a humans, they even allowed them to settle in towns. And why you so cry about your lands? Anyway bigger part of spratstanians now outside and works on theirs previous old masters and doesn't wanna go back.

The land was stolen in the first place. And Russia yet has to become a civilized country.

Russia was the last country in Europe who abolished the serfdom. So civilized!
And not only did this civilized country kept slaves in the occupied lands, they slaved even their own fellow Russians.

During the Polish–Swedish War (1600–1629) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Swedish_War_(1600%E2%80%931629)) Riga and the largest part of Duchy of Livonia came under Swedish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweden) rule in 1621. During the Swedish rule Vidzeme was known as the "Swedish Bread Basket" because it supplied the larger part of the Swedish Kingdom with wheat. The rest of Latvia stayed Polish until the second partition of Poland in 1793, when it became Russian.In 1632 the Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavus_Adolphus_of_Sweden) founded Dorpat University (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorpat_University) which became the intellectual focus for population of Livonia. The translation of the whole Bible into Latvian in 1685 by Johann Ernst Glück (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Ernst_Gl%C3%BCck) was subsidized by the Swedish government. Also the schools for Latvian speaking peasantry were set up in the country parishes.
Riga was the second largest city in the Swedish Empire at the time. Together with other Baltic Sea dominions, Livonia served to secure the Swedish Dominium maris baltici (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominium_maris_baltici). In contrast to Swedish Estonia, which had submitted to Swedish rule voluntarily in 1561 and where traditional local laws remained largely untouched, the uniformity policy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniformity_policy) was applied in Swedish Livonia under Karl XI (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_XI) of Sweden: serfdom was abolished in the estates owned by the Swedish crown, peasants were offered education and military, administrative or ecclesiastical careers, and nobles had to transfer domains to the king in the Great Reduction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Reduction). These reforms were subsequently reversed by Peter I of Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_I_of_Russia) when he conquered Livonia.

In 1700, the Great Northern War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Northern_War) broke out. The course of this war was directly linked with today's Latvian territory and the territorial claims of the Russian Empire (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire). One of its goals was to secure the famous and rich town of Riga. In 1710, the Russian Tsar, Peter I (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_I_of_Russia), managed to secure Vidzeme. Through Vidzeme to Riga, Russia obtained a clear passage to Europe. Following the Third Partition of Poland (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partitions_of_Poland), all of Latvia's territory was under Russian rule when Kurzeme (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courland) was obtained by Russia in 1795.In 1812 Napoleon's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon) troops invaded Russia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_invasion_of_Russia) and the Prussian units under the leadership of the field marshal Yorck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_Yorck_von_Wartenburg) occupied Courland and approached Riga. The governor-general of Riga Ivan Essen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivan_Essen) set the wooden houses of the Riga suburbs on fire to deflect the invaders and thousands of city residents were left homeless. However York did not attack Riga and in December the Napoleon's army retreated.
Serfdom (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serfdom) was abolished in Courland Governorate (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Courland_Governorate) in 1818 and Governorate of Livonia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governorate_of_Livonia) in 1819. However all the land stayed in the hands of the German nobility. Only in 1849, a law granted a legal basis for the creation of peasant-owned farms. Reforms were slower inLatgale (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latgalia) which was part of Vitebsk Governorate, where serfdom was only abolished in 1861 after emancipation reform (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_reform_of_1861_in_Russia). In the middle of 19th century industry developed quickly and the number of the inhabitants grew. Courland and Vidzeme became one of Russia's most developed provinces.
