Old Soviet cars at @Jekaba11 as a reminder of times when Soviet government in Moscov made attempt to crush unarmed civilians with brutal armed force. These tractors was used to build Barricades in Riga what led Latvians towards independence from occupiers. #BalticHistory

Latvijas, kuras neatkarību mūsu tēvutēvutēvi izcīnīja asiņainā Neatkarības karā. Latvijas, kuras neatkarību un demokrātiskumu 1990.gadā mūsu tēvi atjaunoja. #otd #BalticHistory #18novembraLatvija
How is Ungurmuiza presented in modern Latvia — more as unique baroque heritage or as part of the Baltic German legacy still shaping regional memory?
Curious what local historians think.

11.novembra krastmalā pieminot par Latvijas brīvību kritušos @Latvijas_armija karavīrus un atzīmējot vienu no lielākajām mūsu demokrātijas uzvarām, es aicinu atcerēties arī to, ka tas ienaidnieks, ir Krievijas impērijas atjaunošanas ideja, krievu imperiālisms. @otd #BalticHistory

Sometimes Russian propagandists looks at treaty of Nystadt and cries, that Peter I bought Baltic provinces from Sweden. In reality, it was a bloody war fought to conquer Estonia and Livonia 11 years before that treaty. #BalticHistory

an old windmill, without the sails, wooden and greyish in color, but sturdy and restored, stands in a well-cared for meadow, with a treeline in the background. the sky is cloudy, with bits of blue there and here.
an old Lithuanian village house, greyish planks that meant to keep the house warmer in winter times, red shutters with heart ornaments in each, and white window panes. The roof is red clay tiles. in front of the house there's a garden full of blooming flowers in very many varieties, colors, with a little sparse wooden fence guarding it from larger animals, as was tradition.
a slightly arched stone and red brick bridge over a small river, connecting one end of the meadow to another, as pathway visible winds farther up, trees on either side of the picture, framing the road on one side, and the river on both sides. water is not visible.
