Punane terror
I Maailmasõda, I Maailmasõda ja iseseisvumine

Külastajatele on avatud endine KGB ehk NSVLi riigi julgeoleku komitee hoone. KGB-lased vangistasid, kuulasid üle ja mõrvasid siin Läti kodanikke, keda okupatsioonirežiim pidas enda vastasteks. Hoonesse on välja pandud Läti Okupatsioonimuuseumi näitus KGB tegevuse kohta Lätis. Vangikambrites, koridorides, keldris ja sisehoovis korraldatakse ekskursioone. 1911. aastal ehitatud maja on üks Riia kaunemaid hooneid. Rahva seas kutsuti hoonet Nurgamajaks ja see oli Nõukogude okupatsioonirežiimi kõige hirmsam sümbol Lätis, üks NSVLi võimusambaid. KGB tegutses Nurgamajas 1940–1941 ja uuesti aastatel 1945–1991. Poliitiline tagakiusamine puudutas otseselt kümneid tuhandeid Läti elanikke. Võitlus Nõukogude vaenlaste vastu jätkus ka pärast Teist maailmasõda. KGB tegutsemisviis muutus veidi pärast Stalini surma. Füüsiline piinamine asendus psühholoogilise terroriga. Enamik KGB agentidest olid lätlased (52%). Venelased moodustasid suuruselt teise rühma (23,7%). 60,3% agentidest ei olnud kommunistliku partei liikmed. Kõrgharidus oli 26,9% agentidest. Süsteem oli üles ehitatud kohalike elanike kaasamisele, et seeläbi saavutada kontroll ühiskonna üle. Töötajate nimekirjad ja teenistusdokumendid asuvad Venemaal. Need ei ole Läti ametivõimudele ja teadlastele kättesaadavad.

Located in the historical center of Gulbene, opposite the Gulbene Evangelical Lutheran Church.

Monument to the victims of the riots of 1905, members of the Gulbene congregation who fell in the First World War and the Latvian War of Independence, and the victims of the Maliena tribunal. The monument was designed by E. Ābeltiņš and was unveiled in 1929 in front of the Gulbene Evangelical Lutheran Church. After the Second World War, a five-pointed star was placed on the monument, then - on its foundations - a plaster image of a Soviet soldier was painted in bronze, and a cemetery of fallen Soviet soldiers was erected behind the monument. When the new cemeteries of Soviet soldiers who died in World War II were opened in Spārīte Park in 1969, the remains of the fallen were transported there, but the site of the monument was leveled with the ground. In the autumn of 1989, the foundations of the monument were excavated and the capsule with the text built into them in 1928 was excavated. The monument was restored in 1992 (sculptor O. Feldbergs).

Between December 24, 1918 and May 31, 1919, when the 1st (4th) Valmiera Infantry Regiment liberated Gulbene from the Bolsheviks, the Maliena (Vecgulbene) Revolutionary War Tribunal and Workers' Club were located in the church. It stood out for the severity of its decisions and the high number of death sentences, often for minor offenses, in which 349 cases were investigated and 606 people were charged.

A memorial sculpture can be seen.

To commemorate the deportations of June 1941 and March 1949, a memorial stone and a four-axle wagon, which also serves as the museum dedicated to deportations, was erected at the Skrunda railway station. This is the first wagon-type museum in Latvia that holds a permanent exhibit of photos, letters, memoirs, documents and various items made by the people deported from the Skrunda station. Skrunda station was a location where deportees were gathered, and one of the three stations in the region to which people from the Skrunda and the Kuldīga area were brought. In 1941, the family of the first President of the restored Republic of Latvia, Guntis Ulmanis, was deported from here to Krasnoyarsk Krai in Siberia.

With the help of deportations, the Soviets dealt with supporters of the national partizans’ and at the same time intimidated the remaining rural population, forcing them to join the collective farms.

Located at Odzienas Street 2, Pļaviņas.

The permanent exposition "Latvian Army in Pļaviņas in the 20th Century" can be seen.

The building in Pļaviņas, Odzienas Street 2, has a long history - from the time when Stukmaņi wholesaler Hugo Apeltofts started active economic activity in it, thus promoting the development of Pļaviņas city, until the headquarters of the Latvian Eastern Front was established here during the War of Independence. In 1919, the activities of Latvian army units against the Red Army in Latgale were commanded directly from Pļaviņas.

In 1934, a memorial plaque was unveiled near this house with the inscription: "In 1919, the headquarters of the Eastern Front was located in this house, and here General Jānis Balodis took over the command of the Latvian National Army." It was removed and destroyed by the Soviets in 1940, but on June 16, 1990, with the support of the LNNK Plavinas branch, it was restored.

Now, next to the former headquarters building, there is a memorial stall dedicated to 15 cavalry of the Lāčplēsis Military Order born in Pļaviņas region. In Pļaviņas, as well as provides an insight into the life stories of the Knights of the Lāčplēsis War Order.

Not far from the exposition building is the Latgale Division headquarters building, which was built in 1913 by Count Teodors Medems as a Stukmaņi liqueur factory. In 1919 it was taken over by the regime of P. Stučka, where it had also established a prison. After the expulsion of the Bolsheviks, in 1925 the building was taken over by the Latvian Army, which housed the headquarters of the Latgale Division. 10 generals and other officers of the Latvian Army spent their military careers in this building. In 1940, the building was taken over by the Red Army. In the post-war years, it housed a school as well as a municipality. Around 1970, the building was started to be used by the production association "Rīgas Apīrsbs".
