1. "MP suggests turning Soviet war memorial into prison"

From RT [Russian Times] 13 May, 2022.

"Latvian lawmaker says that people laying flowers at a World War II memorial in Riga should be deported to Russia"

This is part and parcel of the controversial 9 May Victory Day celebration.

"Veteran Latvian lawmaker and nationalist politician Alexander Kirstein has said that people laying flowers at a World War II memorial in Riga, in defiance of city authorities, should be incarcerated at the site and then expelled to Russia. His proposal, made on Twitter on Wednesday, targets locals who oppose their government’s stance on Russia."

Soviet war memorials the various Eastern European countries often viewed as an affront. Occupation by Soviet military forces WW2 not always viewed favorably.

2. "Protests kick off over plans to demolish WW2 memorial"

"Multiple protesters and opposition politicians were detained in Latvia"

Again, the controversial 9 May Victory Day memorial celebration now celebrated with enthusiasm in  some Eastern European nations.

"Protests kick off over plans to demolish WW2 memorial"

"Several hundred people attempted to gather outside Riga’s town hall on Friday as the legislature in the Latvian capital convened for an extraordinary meeting to consider demolishing a monument to Soviet soldiers who liberated the city from Nazi occupation. The move was ultimately supported by an overwhelming majority of lawmakers."

3. "Baltic will be ‘NATO sea’ – EU member"

13 May, 2022.

"Latvia’s foreign minister has embraced Finland and Sweden’s plans to join the alliance"

"Latvian Foreign Minister Edgars Rinkevics has said his country approves of Finland and Sweden joining NATO, noting that their addition to the US-led military bloc will turn the Baltic Sea into 'a NATO sea' in a Friday interview with the Financial Times." 

Recall that during the Russian Revolution there existed two groups of Latvian riflemen. Reds and Whites. The former the most trusted of all Red Army contingents. The latter those Latvians opposed to the Reds fighting for an independent homeland.
