Memories of Kocēnietis Tālavs Megnis about the events at the 1991 barricades in Riga
Memories of Kocēnietis Tālavs Megnis about the events at the 1991 barricades in Riga.
"On January 13, about 40 Kocēni residents left the collective farm in an organized manner for a demonstration in Riga on the Laz bus, driven by Vitaly Sprukts, and the Latvija minibus, driven by Jānis Grava.
After the demonstration, when we met at the buses, we heard the Latvian People's Front's call on the radio several times for those who can to stay in Riga and defend strategically important objects to make their capture more difficult, similar to what happened at Vilnius Television. We saw these footage filmed by Podnieks before leaving for Riga.
