Riga a sad monument to six years of war
Riga Latvia Nov. 20 Riga once the pearl of the Baltic and Russia’s second port is a sad monument to six years of ceaseless fighting. Half a million people lived here before the war now about 206000 remain. Most factories idle as Russian machinery left eastward. The new republic faces a blue outlook under minister president Almania yet Latvians cherish freedom after fighting Bolsheviks and Baltic barons. Riga’s German influence lingers in streets and culture, but Lettish language and independence shape its new life.
