  • The Military Heritage and Environment of Kurzeme
    SELF­DRIVE THE MILITARY HERITAGE AND ENVIRONMENT OF KURZEME The NATURA 2000 system was established by European Union member states to protect a large series of environmental territories. In Latvia’s case, the system includes territories that were protected before it was set up, as well as 122 new territories. Each EU member state establishes its own system of territories, and these are then joined in the central system. NATURA 2000 territories are of European importance and are environmentally protected. Along this route, the most interesting NATURA 2000 territories include the Zvārde Forest Park, the Embūte Nature Park, the Ziemupe Nature Reserve and the Nature Park of the Ancient Abava River Valley. While in these territories, please be gentle with environmental, cultural and historical values. Keep the “interests” of birds in mind when bird­watching. ROUTE During the Soviet era, Latvia was the western border of the USSR, and that made it a strategic location in which lots of military resources were concentrated. During the Soviet occupation, there were more than 1,000 Soviet military units in Latvia, and they controlled some 600 facilities equalling to more than 10% of the territory of the Latvian SSR. In other words, Latvia was behind the Iron Curtain for nearly half a century. Border guard posts, tank bases, aviation bases, military airfields, storage facilities for weapons and munitions (including nuclear missiles), military espionage facilities and other, similar entities were mostly centred on the shore of the Baltic Sea, where there was a special frontier regime. It was just 20 years ago that people were allowed to be on the beach only during sunlight and in very limited areas.

  • The Leba Ridge–Riga–Pskov Fault Zone – a Major East European Craton Interior Dislocation Zone and Its Role in the Early Palaeozoic Development of the Platform Cover
    Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2019, 68, 4, 161–189 https://doi.org/10.3176/earth.2019.12 The Leba Ridge–Riga–Pskov Fault Zone – a major East European Craton interior dislocation zone and its role in the early Palaeozoic development of the platform cover Igor Tuuling Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences, University of Tartu, Ravila 14A, 50411 Tartu, Estonia; [email protected] Received 31 May 2019, accepted 23 July 2019, available online 24 October 2019 Abstract. Analysis of data published on basement faulting in the Baltic region makes it possible to distinguish the >700 km long East European Craton (EEC) interior fault zone extending from the Leba Ridge in the southern Baltic Sea across the Latvian cities of Liepaja and Riga to Pskov in Russia (LeRPFZ). The complex geometry and pattern of its faults, with different styles and flower structures, suggests that the LeRPFZ includes a significant horizontal component. Exceptionally high fault amplitudes with signs of pulsative activities reveal that the LeRPFZ has been acting as an early Palaeozoic tectonic hinge-line, accommodating bulk of the far-field stresses and dividing thus the NW EEC interior into NW and SW halves. The LeRPFZ has been playing a vital role in the evolution of the Baltic Ordovician–Silurian Basin, as a deep-facies protrusion of this basin (Livonian Tongue) extending into the remote NW EEC interior adheres to this fault zone. The Avalonia–Baltica collision record suggests that transpression with high shear stress, forcing the SE blocks in the LeRPFZ to move obliquely to the NE, reigned in the Ordovician.

    CPT/Inf (2014) 6 Response of the Latvian Government to the report of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) on its visit to Latvia from 12 to 17 September 2013 The Latvian Government has requested the publication of this response. The report of the CPT on its September 2013 visit to Latvia is set out in document CPT/Inf (2014) 5. Strasbourg, 11 March 2014 - 2 - COMMENTS OF THE LATVIAN GOVERNMENT ON THE REPORT ON LATVIA BY THE EUROPEAN COMMITTEE FOR THE PREVENTION OF TORTURE AND INHUMAN OR DEGRADING TREATMENT OR PUNISHMENT Having assessed the report drawn up by the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) after the visit to Latvia from 12 to 17 September 2013 the Government of Latvia hereby presents the following information on the implementation of the CPT’s recommendations. The Government of Latvia would also like to avail itself of this opportunity to express gratitude to the CPT for the observations and recommendations as they all contribute to the improvement of the situation in areas related to deprivation of liberty. Paragraph 8 – 9 of the Report It should be noted that remand prisoners are not held at short term detention facilities (STDF) without justified necessity and after implementing all the necessary investigative activities they are immediately escorted to investigation prisons. It should be emphasized that suspects (remand prisoners) are without undue delay provided with the possibility to be escorted to investigation prisons. However, to ensure a normal conduct of criminal proceedings, in order to establish the facts of the case and to achieve the purpose of criminal proceedings, it is sometimes necessary to immediately undertake relevant and urgent investigative measures.

    ESUKA – JEFUL 2017, 8–1: 41–59 INSIGHT INTO THE CITY/TOWN NAMES OF LATVIA Laimude Balode University of Helsinki, University of Latvia Abstact. The origin of place names is a research topic for linguists (or onomasticians) and geographers, but since ancient times a wide range of people have also been inter- ested in the subject. As Latvia is the closest neighbour to both Lithuania and Estonia, they share, to a large extent, a common history, as well as – because of this fact – a number of borrowed common words and names. This article is based on the toponym- ical material included in the short dictionary of Latvian geographical names entitled “No Abavas līdz Zilupei” (“From Abava to Zilupe. The origin of Latvian geographical names”), which was compiled by Laimute Balode and Ojārs Bušs and published in Rīga in 2015. It offers insights into the contemporary situation of Latvian oikonyms as well as providing comparisons of the names of inhabited places with their historical names. Keywords: onomastics, place names, Latvia DOI: https://doi.org/10.12697/jeful.2017.8.1.03 1. Introduction Today, Latvia has 9 cities and 67 towns (N=76) with town privi- leges. Naturally there are ancient cities, such as Rīga; founded in 1201, it has had town privileges since 1225. Other examples include Valmiera and Cēsis, which were granted town privileges in 1323, and Aizpute, Kuldīga, Ventspils, which were granted town status in 1378. In addition, Ludza was recorded in historical annals as early as in 1173, but town privileges were not granted until 1777. Then we must also consider the newest towns of Latvia: Jūrmala has been recognised as a town since 1956 and several inhabited places – Aknīste, Cesvaine, Ķegums, Pāvilosta, Saulkrasti, Seda, Stende, and Vangaži – were adjudged as towns in the first years of the second independence – from 1991.
