About the relations of Košradznieki with Soviet soldiers
Imants Upners' memories of the Soviet era.
The relations of the Košrags residents with the Soviet army were very good. The only thing that was not allowed was going to the sea. In Košrags, there was a designated area where you could go to the seashore in the summer, starting from 08:00 in the morning until 19:00 in the evening. One lane was ridden on the beach with horses, and another in the dune area, where in the eighties they also wanted to lay a cable. The beach was also fenced off with a barbed wire fence up to the place where you were allowed to stay. In the mid-fifties, soldiers of the Soviet Army penal battalion lived in Košrags Žoks, who were building the Ventspils - Kolka road. They wanted to build a branch road to Košrags (as in all Liv villages), but the older residents of the village opposed it, fearing new deportations and repressions. As a result, the branch road to the village was built only in the late eighties. Until then, the road only went through Pitrag and Mazirbe.
