The #RedArmy liberated #Latvia from the Nazi occupation - Latvian Legion Waffen-SS formed, 48 prisons, 23 concentration camps, 18 Jewish ghettos.
150'000 Soviet soldiers gave their lives to free Latvia.
Now, in 2022, in Latvia 🇱🇻 we witness:
restrictions and bans on the use of Russian language,
Nazi collaborators and accomplices glorified,
while monuments to Soviet liberators demolished.
Even celebrating May 9 and Victory Day - the liberation from Nazis - is prohibited.

#WeRemember #NeverForget
On this day 79 years ago, the Soviet #RedArmy defeated the Nazi forces in the Battle of #Kursk. With victory on August 23, 1943, Red Army pushed back the enemy to 140-150 km to the west and liberated the cities of Orel, Belgorod and Kharkov, shifting the strategic initiative for the remainder of the war to the #USSR.
The battle of Kursk, which lasted 49 long days, was one the most sanguinary battles of #WWII and sealed a dramatic turning point in the Great Patriotic War, which began after the defeat of Nazi forces at Stalingrad. It culminated in the crossing of the Dnieper and the liberation of Kiev.
