About Our Project

The site “Russians of Latvia” is dedicated to the history, culture and actual situation of the Russian national minority of Latvia. The site is a popular, encyclopaedic, constantly renewing network directory initially based on materials of the exhibition “Russian national minority of Latvia”. Our on-line reference book will be useful to trainee, students, researchers, as well as to general public reading in Russian, Latvian or English languages. 

The directory has multi-level construction which allows select materials starting with the historical topic or category and then proceeding to the chronology of the events relating to the selected category.

Specials departments of the reference-book contain the selected publications and image galleries.  

The project is developed by the Institute of Russian Cultural Heritage of Latvia. Project’s research supervisor is Tatyana Feigmane, editors - Svetlana Kovalchuk and Miroslav Mitrofanov.

Users of the site are welcomed to make contributions by adding the materials or correcting the mistakes found in the articles of the directory (sending the message for the administration).  The administration reserves the right to reject or edit received materials.

All borrowed or quoted materials at our site will be supplied with references or names of authors. In turn we will be grateful for referring the copyright of materials or quotings borrowed on our site.
