Latvian Socialist Soviet Republic
The Latvian Socialist Soviet Republic was a Bolshevik state proclaimed in December 1918 under Pēteris Stučka and backed by the Red Army, which took Riga in January 1919. Its rule brought revolutionary tribunals, requisitions and famine in the capital. It collapsed after losing Riga in May 1919 and Latgale in early 1920, and Soviet Russia recognised Latvian independence in August 1920.
