🇱🇻 1991 Barricades Museum 🇱🇻

The 1991 barricades in Riga were a popular resistance movement in Latvia against Soviet control during the independence movements in the Baltic States.

In January 1991, thousands of Latvians built barricades in the streets of Riga to protect key buildings, such as the Parliament and the national radio headquarters, from Soviet forces attempting to suppress the independence movement.
