Independence Restoration Day



4th May is Independence Restoration Day in Latvia, and today is 20th anniversary since the event in 1990 when Latvia de jure restored it's independence. Liberty monument (built in 1936) is the symbol of Latvia's independence. Each sculpture there represents some value or character of Latvian culture or history.

4. maijs ir Neatkarības atjaunošanas diena Latvijā, un šodien ir 20. gadadiena kopš 1990. gada, kad Latvija "de jure" atjaunoja savu neatkarību. Brīvības piemineklis (uzcelts 1936. gadā) ir Latvijas neatkarības simbols. Katra pieminekļa skulptūra reprezentē kādu vērtību vai kādu Latvijas kultūras vai vēstures tēlu.
