	Latvia - The Pursuit of Independence, 1987-91
		The mobilization of a larger constituency of Latvians occurred as a result of the successful campaign to stop the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Daugava River in 1987.
		In 1988 this grassroots protest was joined by the Latvian intelligentsia, whose demands for decentralization and democratization were forcefully articulated at the June 1-2 plenum of the Latvian Writers Union.
		Several months later, the idea of a popular front was brought to fruition, with a formal first congress organized on October 8-9, 1988.

	Lettonie (50) souveraineté 1988
		En même temps le Conseil du Front Populaire de Lettonie considère que les modifications et corrections proposées de la Constitution de l'URSS sont en contradiction avec le processus de décentralisation du pouvoir défini par la 19ème Conférence du PCUS et reflètent une volonté sans équivoque de créer un état unitaire.
		Le Conseil du Front Populaire de Lettonie considère que, dans les conditions actuelles, il n'y pas de garanties crédibles pour que le Soviet suprême de l'URSS adopte les propositions de la commission du Présidium du Soviet suprême de la RSS de Lettonie, propositions contenant les garanties de la souveraineté de la république.
		Le Front Populaire de Lettonie fut l'acteur et l'interlocuteur principal de la restauration de l'indépendance, rallia une très large majorité de la population et servit de structure-forum pour toutes les sensibilités du mouvement.

		In six years of continuous war, with front lines changing from year to year and even month to month, more than one-quarter of all farm buildings had been devastated; most farm animals had been requisitioned for army supplies; and the land had been lacerated by trenches, barbed wire, and artillery craters.
		Its initiative was endorsed by numerous deputies within the Popular Front of Latvia, who were so opposed to any compromises on this issue that they created a separate parliamentary faction called Satversme (Constitution).
		Their reluctance to tamper with the 1922 constitution and the basics of the 1918 republic extended to a refusal to change Latvia's electoral law, which technically was not even part of the constitution.

	Print Jurkans Janis Quits Politics
		In 1989, after formation of the Latvian popular front (Latvijas Tautas Fronte - LTF), he left his work for a political career.
		Despite of his former vigorous activity in the ranks of the Latvian Popular Front, unlike the majority of his ex-colleagues, it is impossible to characterize him as an anti-Russian oriented politician.
		On the contrary, after the declaration of independence of Latvia in the summer of 1991, Jurkans openly supported the strengthening of ties with Russia and even became a supporter of an official Kremlin position concerning the Russian-speaking minority in the country.

		In Riga on the call of the Latvijas Tautas Fronte (Latvian People’s Front), people young and old, Russian and Latvian were building barricades to protect government builings against a potential repeat of the Vilnius events in Latvia’s capital.
		Developments in Latvia that year are now called the “singing revolution”, because it started with manifestation on Mežparks stage before Tautas Fronte congress.
		There are signs of that time in Riga: a barricade fragment by the Saeima building, Barricade museum in the Old Town on Krāmu street and memorial sign in Bastejkalns in rememberance of five Rigans that were killed in January 20, 1991 among them also cameraman Andris Slapiņš.

		It is very likely that due to his links to big politics it was for quite some time impossible to start a lawsuit in connection with the seemingly great banker, artist and master of unmasking.
