Latvia–Russia relations ((ラトビア語:Krievijas—Latvijas attiecības or Latvijas—Krievijas attiecības), (ロシア語:Российско-латвийские отношения or Латвийско-российские отношения)) is the bilateral foreign relations between Latvia and Russia. Latvia has an embassy in Moscow and two consulates general: in Pskov and Saint Petersburg. Russia has an embassy in Riga and two consulates general: in Daugavpils and Liepāja. Both Russia and Latvia are members of UN, OSCE and Council of Europe. They have recognized each other since 1991. ==History== In 1920 - 1940, relations between the countries had existed, too (but in 1922 USSR had been founded, which took over the foreign affairs of its member states, including Russia). The Soviet occupation of Latvia in 1940, which included deportations to Siberian Gulags (June deportation), created a large degradation of Latvian-Russian relations. Nazi Germany then occupied Latvia in 1941 German occupation of Latvia during World War II, until the USSR returned in 1944 to resume occupation, resulting in further deportations. During this period many Latvians fled with the retreating Germans or to Sweden. The Soviet occupation dramatically increased the number of Russians living in Latvia in a short space of time, often replacing those who were deported. The high influx of Russians and the removal of Latvian as the official language caused further deteriorations in the Latvia-Russian relations between citizens. In 1991, Latvia gained independence from the USSR through the Latvian independence and democracy poll, 1991. In 2007, the border treaty between the two states was ratified, after the Constitutional Court of Latvia found it constitutional. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Latvia–Russia relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
