🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in Latvia:

"Last weekend the military burial of Soviet soldiers in the city of Jekabpils on Varonu st. was attacked by unknown vandals. The rabid apologists of historical revisionism barbarously tore down the memorial plaques and destroyed their foundation.

In the mentioned mass grave there rest more than 750 soldiers of the Red Army who heroically fell in the battles for freedom and independence of the Latvian land from the fascist “yoke”, including Guards Major General S.P.Kupriyanov and Guards Colonels G.K.Sharikalov and S.G.Gazeev, whose remains were reburied here in August last year. The previous resting place of the latter in the city park of Jekabpils was also desecrated in February 2021, when a cannon, once installed as a symbol of victory over the Nazi invaders, was stolen from the pedestal. The fate of the 76 mm artillery gun is still unknown, the memorial has been dismantled, and the perpetrators of this outrage have remained unpunished.

In a country where the veneration of historical monuments is presented as a threat to national security, and the destruction of cultural monuments has become part of the state policy at the connivance of the local authorities, it is no wonder that such blasphemous mockery of the deceased takes place.

The degraded vandals do not realize that their efforts to destroy the symbols of the historical truth, which is inconvenient for them, are futile, the memory of the great feat of the Red Army soldier will live forever!"

🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in Latvia:

"On May 30, the Latvian authorities dismantled the sculpture of the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin in Riga's park of Kronvald, which for 14 years served as a place of unity of our compatriots and a place of contact with the Russian cultural heritage.

This treacherous step, as is customary here, was carried out secretly under the cover of night in order to avoid unnecessary resonance.

Let's recall that the decision to get rid of this memorial object was taken by the Riga City Council in the best traditions of the "Latvian democracy", without taking into account the opinion of the city's residents and the author of the monument A.Taratynov.

This cowardly trick of the local Russophobes, undertaken out of fear of the consolidation of the Republic`s citizens on the basis of common cultural values, will not change the fact that hundreds of thousands of Latvians still treat with reverence and will always honor the great literary heritage that A.S.Pushkin, a truly world-class poet, left to his descendants.

The purposeful efforts of the Latvian authorities to eradicate objects of the Russian culture not only overshadow the image of a "modern civilized state", but serve as signs of their own weakness."

 🇷🇺🇱🇻 Комментарий Посольства России в Латвии:

"История о том, как вчерашняя школьница стала «угрозой национальной безопасности» Латвийской Республики, продолжается. Сегодня Рижский суд принял решение продлить еще на два месяца срок содержания под стражей общественной активистки, студентки Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета Татьяны Андриец. Теперь ей, помимо «нарушения санкционного режима», инкриминируют «создание преступной организации», что в соответствии с местным уголовным законодательством карается лишением свободы от 8 до 17 лет.

Каких-либо убедительных доказательств обществу вины неравнодушной к происходящему в своей стране гражданки Латвии местная Фемида до сих пор не представила. Впрочем, как показывает практика, в таких изначально политизированных делах, этого не требуется. Цель данного циничного попрания прав человека очевидна – убедить население республики в неминуемости «наказания» за выражение «неправильных» мыслей.    

Подобное издевательство над юной девушкой, которая наивно верила, что живет в правовом государстве, – позор для латвийского правосудия!"

🇷🇺🇱🇻 Commentary of the Russian Embassy in Latvia:

"The story of how yesterday's schoolgirl has become a "threat to the national security" of the Republic of Latvia continues. Today, the Riga Court decided to extend for another two months detention of the public activist, student of Saint Petersburg State University Tatiana Andriets. Now, in addition to "violating the sanctions regime," she is charged with "creating a criminal organization," which, in accordance with local criminal law, is punishable by imprisonment from 8 to 17 years.

The local Themis has not yet presented to the public any convincing evidence of the guilt of the Latvian citizen who is not indifferent to what is happening in her country. However, as practice shows, in such initially politicized cases, this is not required. The purpose of this cynical violation of human rights is obvious – to convince the Republic's population of the inevitability of "punishment" for expressing "wrong" thoughts.    

The persecution of the young girl who naively believed that she lives in a state governed by the rule of law is a disgrace to the Latvian justice!"
