Answer to Estovian journalist question Translation (short): Question: (Estonian TV) Why it's so difficult for you to say "Sorry for the occupation". Because if you say that we could better get along with each other. Answer: (Putin) Thank you for the question. I see that you speak russian very well. Please find and read the decision of the Congress of People's Deputies of 1989. It says clearly and distinctly: "The Congress condemns the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact of 1939, treats the pact as anti-humanistic and illegal. The pact was personal decision of Stalin and Hitler", without considering the views of the people. What else do you want? What can be said more clearly? Maybe you want hear the apologies every year? Maybe it's enough to rake over old ashes. It's time to look to the future. Enough to built national politics on the old grudges. There was Brest Treaty (the first deal between Russian and Germany) in 1918 when Baltics countries where taken from Russia and passed under Germany control. It was the beginning of Estonian statehood. And in 1939 there was second deal between Russian and Germany, when these countries where passed back to Russia. Was it good or bad? Let us not give estimates... I think it was another dishonest collusion. But it is our history! In those days it was the norm in big politics. So if the Baltic States where passed to Russia in 1939, how can you call it "occupation" in 1941? They where already the part of USSR. We urge Estonian politicians to ...

Hitler meets another leader (Andris Šķēle) with same semitic thoughts, and considers to create a new party with him. Also Hitler tries to exhort politician not to be just a selfish businessman and be more generous to his nation. Sorry for some errors - maybe somewhere masks show up earlier or later.

On Tuesday, the Latvian capital, Riga, saw hundreds of former Nazi SS veterans parading in a controversial commemoration march. Despite widespread opposition and counter-rallies, almost two-thousand supporters took to the streets to honour those who died fighting on the German side during the Second World War. The rally was staged by the party For Fatherland and Freedom, which is also a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists group within the European Parliament. This, in turn, has triggered criticism towards the UK's Conservative party, which has recently realigned with the ECR. To talk more about the new Tory position and what the situation may signal for Europe, we're joined by the Labour MP, Denis McShane.

13. Jan. 2009 - The police has detained several rioters that took part in the attack on the Latvian parliament building on Tuesday, and some police officers have also been injured. Andris Dzenis, the police chief of the Riga region, said that several policemen had been injured by the bricks that the rioters had thrown at the police. For now there is no information about how serious are those injuries. Over 10000 people gathered in the center of the Latvian capital Riga on Tuesday for a peaceful rally organized by the opposition party Society For Other Politics with the intention to urge Latvian President Valdis Zatlers to dissolve the Latvian parliament. The protesters blame incompetent politicians for the current economic crisis and believe that a new parliament could offer a solution to this difficult situation. After the rally a group of aggressive and drunken youngsters made their way towards the nearby parliament building, and the number of rioters grew rapidly, reaching about a thousand. They made their way towards the parliament, shattering its windows and throwing things at the police officers. The crowd control unit with shields was called to the scene and used batons and tear gas to disperse the protesters. by BALTIC NEWS SERVICE

The Museum was established in Riga in 1993 by the Occupation Museum Assocation to: - •Provide information about Latvia and its people under two occupying totalitarian regimes, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, from 1940 to 1991. •Remind the world of the wrongdoings committed by foreign powers against the state and the people of Latvia; •Remember those who perished, who suffered, and who fled the terror of the occupying regimes. The Museum's goal is to portray life of Latvia and Latvians during the three occupation periods. The items in the exhibition tell about Latvia during the more than fifty year long subjugation: about power politics, about Soviet and Nazi terror, about the destruction of Latvia's economy, about Soviet and Nazi totalitarian ideologies, about the opposition to the regimes, and finally, about how the Latvian nation regained its freedom in 1991. The first section of the exhibit documents the events that led to Latvia's occupation: the Soviet and Nazi pact, finalized on 23 August 1939 by Molotov and Ribbentrop, which divided East Europe into Soviet and Nazi spheres of influence. The exhibition continues as visitors follow the events of the first Soviet occupation (1940-1941), followed by the Nazi occupation period (1941-1944/45), and finally, the second Soviet occupation (1944/45-1991). The exhibit includes documentations of the peoplesstruggle to renew their independence in the late 1980s and the reclaiming of sovereignty in 1991. Also in the exhibition is ...

Interview with pastor Anselm Madubuko Last week, you clocked 50 years. How does it feel to hit the golden age? It does not feel any different. I am still the same person. It is just that my eyes are less effective. That is the only thing I have noticed. I thank God for his grace and mercy. I am trying to do some things, give back to the society, especially the less privileged. I just want to say thank you to the Lord and encourage and help those in need. Why did you choose to be called an apostle? I started as a pastor. I got saved in 1983. I was an architect. I loved the Lord, but I didn't want to be a pastor. I wanted to do business and support the ministry. But several years later, things changed. I found that the Lord wanted me to build a church for him. I pastored the church for about eight years and the Lord began to tell me that my calling was beyond the local church. He told me He was sending me to the nations. An apostle means the sent one. He told me that the picture was beyond sitting down in one local assembly every Sunday morning. He told me He had equipped me with something the nations needed. So, from Year 2000, I began to travel to all the nations of the world to preach the gospel, not as a pastor, but as an apostle.
