"Her political stance is seen as left centrism and protection of national and linguistic minorities (in Latvia — mostly Russian-speaking inhabitants)."
"annexation of Latvia"
1. Former members of communist party are very many politicians of Latvia - in different parties, including "For Fatherland and Freedom"/LNNK. So what? The program of ForHRUL and ER is social democracy - left centrism.
2. Even the just and fair judicial power of contemporary Latvia did not accuse Ždanoka of participation in GKChP coup - this is the difference from Alfreds Rubiks, for example.
3. Ždanoka leads party "Equal Rights" - marxist Socialist Party of Latvia splitted from it (or vice versa) due to ideological difference in 1996. ER and SPL were allies in the ForHRUL coalition - not "to this day" but until 2003.
4. Your 1 link is only 1 point of view, not "view... universal". For example, Greens/EFA in the EP accept Ždanoka's views as normal. She got over 30 000 personal supporting votes at EP elections. Chauvinism? Ždanoka negates any kind of nationalism - and you did not name any point in ForHRUL or ER program which would give to Russians any advantage in comparison with Latvians (understandable - there is none).
5. The fact she was against concrete way of Latvia's development, which happened in 1991, doesn't mean her to be an enemy of Latvian independence as such. Popular views as such are not to be accepted in encyclopedia as true Wikipedia:NPOV. 217.198.224.1300:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
6. LSSR was recognized, for example, by Sweden, and the socialist countries were also a big part of the international community. The regime of LSSR differed in time - LSSR in 1949, 1969 and 1989 were quite different.
7. Occupation is defined (Art. 42) in Hague convention respecting the laws and customs of war on land (1907) - you can see that events of 1940 do not accord to these definitions. 217.198.224.1300:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
If you want the article "Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940" renamed please discuss it there (on it's talkpage). You could just copy your text there. Since it has been four years I suppose you wouldn't be informed readily if I posted it. And the title has been discussed extensivly there (in fact it seems to be what is first and foremost there), although all your points might not have been covered.--Alcea setosa (talk) 21:16, 23 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

If Tatjana Ždanoka was born into a Latvian Jewish family as it's written in the article, why didn't she have the Latvian citizenship in the period of 1991-1996? 87.206.158.139 (talk) 11:20, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
