Abstract
Latvia, like the other former USSR states and satellites, has undergone radical changes over the last one and a half decade. In the late 1980s, the world witnessed a revolutionary wave that swept across Central and Eastern Europe after nearly 50 years of communist rule. The transition from a communist regime to a market economy had a great influence on the political situation in Europe, and radically changed the daily lives of millions of people in these countries.
