"The Latvian SSR NPP will be here!"

Due to the border zone and the Russians, the Akmesrags side remained largely uninhabited, as in the past there were many houses both around Rudupi (Rudenieki) and Akmensrags (Radzenieki). People were “eaten out” of these places, which were described in the time by Tālis Vaiders or Tālivaldis Sils (born in 1927 – died?), in the story “Rudenieki.” Five years ago, together with students, we tried to research and preserve the places and names of old dwellings, we made and placed oak plaques with the names of the dwellings in the places of old farms.
It was planned to build a nuclear power plant (NPP) in Akmensrags. In the late 1980s, this issue reached the press and the village councils also learned about it. In 1989, when all the Chernobyl events were still fresh in their memory, activists from all the villages - Saka, Pāvilosta, Medze, Vērgale - got together and protested. At my initiative, we wrote a letter to the LKPCK (Central Committee of the Latvian Communist Party) newspaper "Cīņa", with the motivation not to build the NPP, because we do not want the Chernobyl disaster to happen again, the 1940s with deportations to happen again, in a very pathetic spirit. At the same time, one resident of Saka collected signatures against the construction of the NPP, collected several tens of thousands of signatures. Together, we organized a meeting with the creative team of the program "Labvakar!", so they came to the Akmensrags lighthouse, journalists E.Inkēns and O.Rubenis, and a cinematographer participated. We climbed the lighthouse and went to the place where the construction of the nuclear power plant was planned. At that place, an oak pole was supposedly buried in the ground (I didn't see it again) with an inscription in Russian and Latvian "Here will be the Latvian SSR nuclear power plant!" The place, about 1 km from the lighthouse towards Pāvilosta, on the seashore. The event was already noisy, but it probably didn't need to be, because the USSR collapsed.
