In the spring of 1958, Arnold Spekke, Charge d’Affaires in Washington D.C., having read George Kennan’s book “Soviet-American Relations, 1917–1920. The Decision to Intervene” decided to write a comment on certain facts expressed in the book. He concentrated on the description of the execution of Czar Nicholas II and his family, as well as the fact that the book did not mention the Latvian units that fought under Allied leadership, namely, the Troitsk battalion as part of the 3rd Czechoslovak Division. Spekke also submitted a letter written in 1928 by Nikolai Sokolov’s assistant, Captain Pavel Bulygin, in which it was confirmed that there were no Latvians among the shooters. Kennan in his response assured that his goal had only been to emphasize the cruelty with which the murder was committed. The preparation of comments contributed to the efforts of Latvians in exile to focus on writing down memories and studying Latvian history.

The article offers a brief overview of the painted pottery decorative patterns on the north-eastern Anatolian plateau during the Late Iron Age. In this study, the author has examined painted pottery sherds of nine archaeological sites: Boğazköy, Alaca Höyük, Alișar Höyük, Ҫadir Höyük, Kerkenes Dağ, Ușaklı Höyük, Mașat Höyük, Kușaklı-Sarissa, Kaman-Kalehöyük. The total amount of painted pottery sherds examined is 344. Based on the evidence of the decorative painted patterns on the ceramic vessels dated to the Late Iron Age, the author has investigated the frequency and distribution of decorative types among the archaeological sites.

The economic emigration from Poland to Latvia was a consequence of the socio-economic situation in both countries. The internal determinants of emigration were agrarian overpopulation and poverty in the Polish countryside. In this situation, many people saw a chance to improve their lives abroad. The problem of the overabundance of labourers in rural Poland coincided with a period of economic growth in Latvia. At a time when Poland was struggling with overpopulation and an excess of labour in the countryside, the Baltic country faced scarcity of hands in agriculture. The emigration movement to Latvia lasted from 1928 to 1939. The number of Polish workers employed in Latvian agriculture is estimated at over 100,000 people. The aim of the article is to analyse the origins, course and consequences of economic emigration from Poland to Latvia during this period.

The two letters from the end of the 18th century presented here are an interesting source for research into the history of the Basilian mission in eighteenth-century Jēkabpils (in Polish: Jakobsztat). They were written by Basilian monks working in the town and addressed to an unknown person, who, however, must undoubtedly be identified as Michał Jan Borch (in Latvian: Mihaels fon der Borhs), owner of the Varakļāni (in Polish: Warklany) estate in the former Polish Livonia (in Polish: Inflanty Polskie). The addressee of both letters is not accidental. The Basilian monks asked Borch for support of conducted construction works, bearing in mind that it was his ancestor who had funded their mission. Michał Jan Borch did not disappoint the monks, as he fulfilled at least some of the requests addressed to him.
这里展示的两封18世纪末的信件是研究18世纪巴西利亚传教会历史的有趣来源Jēkabpils(波兰语:Jakobsztat)。它们是由在镇上工作的巴西僧侣写的,写给一个不知名的人,然而,毫无疑问,这个人一定是米克沃扬·博尔奇(拉脱维亚语:Mihaels fon der Borhs),他是前波兰利沃尼亚(波兰语:Inflanty Polskie) Varakļāni(波兰语:Warklany)庄园的主人。两封信的收信人不是偶然的。巴西利亚的僧侣们要求波许支持他们进行的建筑工程,因为他们牢记是他的祖先资助了他们的使命。米克沃扬·波许没有让僧侣们失望,因为他至少满足了一些向他提出的要求。
