A SOCIETY FOR THE RUSSIAN PROTECTOR IN THINGS AND IN MORAVA, PRAGUE, inv. 1787, sig. 109-5/15
English Translation
14a 15 - no longer recognize the leadership claim of the Latvians and regard themselves more and more as a kind of own folkdom. Characteristic of this is a letter, which was directed by students of a high school to the district commissioner of Dünaburg. It reports on the methods of oppression and the attempt of the Lett Galler to lettuce. In particular, it is brought about that in Lettgale all the leading posts are occupied by Latvians and therefore the Latvians have no prospect of finding work in their home country. Estonia In an atmosphere of unity in the Estonian population cannot be observed. The fact that Estonian volunteers have been awarded the EC for special bravery has brought great satisfaction to the population, and the success of advertising for the Reichsarbeitsdienst shows a positive attitude. Furthermore, the personal appearance of the General Commissioner in front of the workers of the Reval Luther works has left a deep impression on the working class. Parallels are drawn to the appearance of Bolshevik greats.
