  • Łotewska Droga Do Niepodległości 1917–1921
    Dzieje Najnowsze, Rocznik LIII – 2021, 1 PL ISSN 0419–8824 STUDIA I ARTYKUŁ Y Wojciech Materski https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2040-362X Instytut Studiów Politycznych Polskiej Akademii Nauk Łotewska droga do niepodległości 1917–1921 Abstrakt: Artykuł omawia genezę i powstanie Republiki Łotewskiej – od rewolucji lutowej 1917 r. w Imperium Rosyjskim do uregulowania przez nią relacji z bolszewikami i uzyskania uznania de iure przez ententę. Obszerne miejsce poświęcono kontekstowi tego procesu, kon- frontacji w regionie bałtyckim, w szczególności na Łotwie, polityki bolszewików, „białych” Ro- sjan, Niemiec, Wielkiej Brytanii, a w szczególności Rzeczypospolitej. Eksponuje wagę zwycię- stwa Wojska Polskiego w wojnie z bolszewikami dla ustabilizowania międzynarodowej pozycji Łotwy. Ważny jego wątek stanowi odtworzony na bazie dokumentów proces kształtowania się granic Republiki Łotewskiej, w szczególności spór o południowo-wschodni okręg Pytałowo (Abrene). S ł owa kluczowe: Łotwa, wojna wyzwoleńcza, Tymczasowa Rada Narodowa Łotwy, bol- szewicy, eksport rewolucji, Ober-Ost, Kārlis Ulmanis, Zigfrīds Meierovics, Stephen Tallents. Abstract: The article discusses the genesis and formation of the Republic of Latvia – from the 1917 February Revolution in the Russian Empire to the settlements of relations with the Bolsheviks and its de iure recognition by the Entente states. Ample space is devoted to the context of this process, the confrontation in the Baltic region, especially in Latvia, between the policy of Bolsheviks, ‘White’ Russians, Germany, Great Britain, and Poland in particu- lar. The text emphasises the importance of the Polish Army’s victory in the war against the Bolsheviks for the stabilisation of Latvia’s internal position. Its substantial part is made up by the reconstruction based on the preserved documents of the formation of Latvian borders, emphasising the dispute over the south-eastern district of Pytalovo (Abrene).

NCCL plays an important role in organizing Norway-related companies in Latvia and supporting our joint efforts in enhancing economic relations between Norway and Latvia. When we look at the extension and variety of the presence of Norwegian companies in Latvia, we are highly impressed and as ambassador I am very proud of it. Since the 1990ies Norwegian enterprises in Latvia have been the backbone in the overall relations between our two countries and their activities represent valuable contributions to Latvias economy and welfare, both through employment, value- creation, investments, partnerships and payment of taxes. We hope that this will continue in the years to come - with the support from the Chamber and from the Embassy. NCCL and Embassy together is what we could call “Team Norway in Latvia”. We consider us a good team and aim at continuing being a good team together in the time to come." Kristian Ødegaard Ambassador 3 Honorary Member of NCCL NCCL 2018 IN BRIEF 2018 has been a very eventful year for the Norwegian Chamber of Commerce in Latvia (NCCL) and the Norwegian - Latvian bilateral relations.

  • 1918. Gada Decembris Rīgā – Latvijas Zemessardzes Rotu Dumpis
    Artis Buks 1918. gada decembris Rīgā – Latvijas zemessardzes rotu dumpis http://doi.org/10.22364/luzv.6.04 1918. gada decembris Rīgā – Latvijas zemessardzes rotu dumpis Riga, December 1918 – Mutiny of the Latvian National Guard Units Artis Buks, Mg. hist. Latvijas Universitātes Vēstures un filozofijas fakultāte Aspazijas bulvāris 5, Rīga, LV-1050 E-pasts: [email protected] Rakstā aplūkota situācija Vācijas armijas okupētajā Vidzemē un Kurzemē 1918. gada rudenī – Latvijas Republikas proklamēšanas laikā –, kā arī sa- biedrībā valdošo ideju un vēlmju pretrunu saspīlējums gada nogalē, kas izpaudās kā masveida nepakļaušanās pavēlei iestāties nupat izveidotajos Latvijas bruņotajos spēkos (zemessardzē). Proti, no latviešiem saformētās vienības atteicās doties uz fronti. Kara tiesa vairākiem dumpiniekiem pie- sprieda nāvessodu. Tālaika sabiedrībā notikušais izsauca visai plašu rezo- nansi, un daudz kas liek domāt, ka tas lielā mērā inspirēja arī masveida dezertēšanu no zemessardzes rindām 1919. gada janvāra pirmajās dienās. Šie notikumi historiogrāfijā praktiski nav aplūkoti, tāpēc rakstā mēģināts rekonstruēt notikumu gaitu, lai saprastu, kas īsti notika Rīgā 1918. gada pašās pēdējās dienās. Atslēgvārdi: 1918. gads, Latvijas dibināšana, Latvijas zemessardze, Balti- jas landesvērs, Rīgas rotu dumpis, Latvijas Neatkarības karš. The article looks at the situation in Vidzeme (Livland) and Kurzeme ( Courland), which were then occupied by the German army, in the autumn of 1918 and during the establishment of the Republic of Latvia as well as at turbulence of conflicting ideas at the end of the year which led to massive disobedience to orders in the recently established Latvian armed forces (militia). Namely, the units composed of ethnic Latvians refused to go to the front. The war court sentenced several mutineers to death.

THE CHAIRMAN'S FOREWORD The year 2018 has been dynamic for the Regulator with significant changes in regulatory development. In early 2018, a new operational strategy for the years 2018-2021 was approved, defining key priorities for the service quality, availability and setting economically justified prices The most significant event in the energy sector was the agreement between the Finnish, Estonian and Latvian regulators on the creation of a single natural gas market, which is planned to be launched in 2020. This will mean that a single entry-exit tariff zone will be applied in the future, namely, only the tariffs on the external border of the unified zone will be applied for transporting natural gas through the systems of these countries but no transmission tariff will be applied at cross-border points between Latvia, Estonia and Finland. Last year, the Regulator also approved new natural gas distribution system service tariffs.

Rundāns BASc, Waterloo, 1975 BA, Victoria, 2008 Supervisory Committee Dr. Serhy Yekelchyk (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Perry Biddiscombe, (Department of History) Departmental Member iii Abstract Supervisory Committee Dr Serhy Yekelchyk (Department of History) Supervisor Dr. Perry Biddiscombe (Department of History) Departmental Member Despite significant evidence to the contrary in the Latvian language, especially the memoirs of General Pēteris Radzinš, Latvians, historians included, and others, have persisted in mythologizing the military events of 8 October to 11 November 1919 in Riga as some sort of national miracle. Since this Latvian army victory, first celebrated as Lāčplēsis Day on 11 November1920, accounts of this battle have been unrepresented, poorly represented or misrepresented. For example, the 2007 historical film Rīgas Sargi (The Defenders of Riga) uses the 1888 poem Lāčplēsis by Andrējs Pumpurs as a template to portray the Latvians successfully defeating the German-Russian force on their own without Allied military aid. Pumpurs’ dream and revolutionary legacy has provided a well used script for Latvian nation building.
