Abstract
From the Russian perspective, the signing of the peace treaty with Latvia in Riga, was a sign of weakness of the Soviet Union at that time. Moscow, however, never accepted the concept of the loss of the Baltic states „forever”. In the 20s and 30s of 20th century Russia attempted to recover territories losing by signing the Treaty of Versailles. In the third decade the Russians through its embassy in Riga had tried to outlet a kindle the flame of the Bolshevik Revolution, but the effects of this activity were far below for expectations. In the rural districts the party has acted rapidly to promote radical agrarian land reform, and the cities have seen a growing influence of social democracy. The 30s were a dramatic decline in popularity of Russian communist movement in Latvia, but also the rise of the meaning Soviet Union in the international arena. Stalin’s policies had led to the isolation of Latvia, which alone had to find common leaks with Moscow (among pact of non-aggression signed in 1932). German-Russian agreement of August 1939 facilitated the occupation and annexation of Latvia by Russia in August 1940.
