Russia and Curonia have remained friendly to one another for almost as long as they’ve had diplomatic relations, considering each other to have somewhat similar cultural background, at least compared to the Mediterranean and Germanic actors on the world stage.

 Mabel Dodge Luhan Information
A troubled liaison with her chauffeur led to two suicide attempts: the first was by eating figs with shards of glass; the second with laudanum.
She was involved in the creation of the Armory Show of 1913, and she published in pamphlet form a piece by Gertrude Stein, "Portrait of Mabel Dodge at the Villa Curonia," which Mabel distributed at the exhibition.
At first this was a very happy time for Mabel and Jack, but then tension grew between the two as Jack grew uncomfortable with the affluent isolation and Mabel saw his interests in the world of people and achievements as a rejection of her.

 Latvia as a Cauldron: 1950-2000
Although there were small minorities of Germans in the provinces of Curonia (in the west), Livonia (in the north), and Zemgale (in the centre), the second-largest non-Latvian community was to be found in the southeastern province of Latgale around the city of Daugavpils.
The same process of assimilation was, if anything, more pronounced in the overwhelmingly Latvian provinces of Livonia, Zemgale, and Curonia: Out of a combined population of one million, 800 thousand ethnic Latvians and 100 thousand non-ethnic Latvians identified their main language as Latvian.
Even the Russians of Rîga are beginning to succumb, as the Latvian-speaking majority of their city continually increases and Russian parents seek to enroll their children in the Latvian-medium public school system.

Whether these isolated finds are merely imports from Curonia or the relics of a Curonian colony on Gotland is difficult to tell, but the grave at Hugleifs certainly proves the presence of some Curonians on the island.
Rich and well-settled Curonia attracted the rapacious Vikings from Sweden, Denmark, and even from Iceland, but they, in turn, were decoyed by the Curonians who plundered their coasts.
The ninth-century sources, as mentioned above, found five such “states” in Curonia; at the beginning of the thirteenth century there were eight “states,” or districts, with their centers in each of which were several villages (“castellatura”).
