Talk:Soviet re-occupation of Latvia in 1944

Latest comment: 8 years ago by 177.177.201.78 in topic Needs a bit of work

The page was plagiarized from several other articles, including Military history of Latvia during World War II and Shyaulyay Offensive. It should be prodded for ignoring GFDL issues. --Ghirla-трёп- 07:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Also, it lacks citations to back its outrageous figures on population loss. Somehow, I am not surprised. 81.211.60.42 (talk) 18:09, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Reply

Needs a bit of work

edit

Starting with occupation from 1944 to 1945, the source cited actually states:

Latvia first gained independence in 1918. In 1940-41 it was occupied by the Soviet Union under the provisions of the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact with Nazi Germany, by Nazi Germany from 1941-1944, and again by the Soviet Union from 1944-91.

It's going to be a long year. There's nothing that logically sets this apart that the Soviet occupation should be bifurcated in its encyclopedic treatment, that's another discussion. I may do some merging in a few weeks. PЄTЄRS J VTALK 21:56, 8 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

What do you want from a propaganda article, anyhow? 91.122.170.152 (talk) 18:46, 13 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Time to move

"Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1944" would work fine, as "Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940" doesn't have a range of years, either. VєсrumЬаTALK 21:26, 20 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

How about "Soviet re-occupation of Latvia in 1944", to reflect that the first occupation in 1940 was interrupted by the Nazis. --Nug (talk) 00:22, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yours is better. VєсrumЬаTALK 04:05, 21 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Given the pro-Soviet POV title, I'm not terribly concerned that there isn't another picture that can be substituted that's been released as part of the Commons agreement with the Russian Federation, starting with images of the GPW. VєсrumЬаTALK 18:21, 30 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
