How Lithuanians, Latvians, and Estonians Make Fun Of Each Other

So let’s change things up and switch to a much lighter topic for todays video: regional jokes.

The idea came to me when I remembered a Lithuanian friend telling me that there’s an ongoing joke about Estonians being slow. I thought I would run with this idea and see what jokes Lithuanians had for their Baltic neighbours and what our neighbours had to say about Lithuania.

Latvia Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Latvia.
Latvia is a small Baltic republic, a country with a strong national identity, situated within the centre of the Baltic States. Throughout the course of history its desire for freedom has always taken it forward. Riga is the capital of Latvia, a Hanseatic city and European capital of culture. Saint Petri Church is one of the oldest in the centre of the city and, at the same time, a main landmark. It is one of the most important sacred buildings of the Middle Ages and is closely linked with the development of the city. Close to Riga is Jurmala, today a popular health resort on the Latvian Riviera, with splendid bay-windowed villas, battlements and towers, formerly Baroque and later with a nod at Gothic. Thirty kilometres of beaches with bright erinaceous quartz and a mild climate created a holiday paradise in the nineteenth century. Amid the fertile Zemgale Plain is the magnificent, huge Baroque Jelgava Castle, the largest in Latvia. In 1737 the residence of the then secular ruler of the Duchy Of Kurland was built on the ramparts of an ancient castle of the Livonian Order. Beneath the southeast corner of the castle is the Crypt Of The Dukes, a tomb vault with thirty superbly decorated sarcophagi of tin and wood. The picturesque primordial river valley of Gauja has for centuries attracted travellers from each corner of the world. This Livonian Switzerland not only has the charm of primary nature, but also all the ambience of the Middle Ages. Today’s Latvia is now striking a healthy balance between a market economy, ancient traditions and the burdensome legacy of a turbulent past. Its journey into the European Union has been a success, thanks to courage, strength and faith!

Poland & Lithuania: A Centuries-Old Love-Hate Relationship

After very briefly examining the relationship between Lithuania and Latvia, it only seemed appropriate to move on to our neighbour to the southwest: The country of Poland. The relationship between Lithuania and Poland is an interesting one. Sadly, it’s not one that is as brotherly as with Latvia. But when you look at the history of the two countries, things make a little more sense.
So, let’s unpack some of it in today’s video!

CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS:
1. Sejny is not majority Lithuanian; but apparently their numbers are undercounted/underrepresented. Inaccurate information was received on this topic.
2. Jadwiga is referred to in this video as a queen since she was the female ruler - as many other sources also state. However, others refer to her as a female king in the sense that she was the highest ruler.

The National History Museum of Latvia

History of the Museum --

The National History Museum of Latvia, the largest repository of Latvian material culture, was founded in 1869 as the Museum of the Science Committee of the Riga Latvian Society. To enable a better understanding of its foundation and aims, it is necessary to become acquainted with the social setting of Riga more than a century ago.

Introduction

Right up until the 1860s, Riga was a fortified bastion, with its infrastructural and economic development determined by military strategy. It was only following change in strategic considerations, and after dismantling the fortifications, that this ancient trading town developed into an industrial centre with a multi-national population. According to the census of 1867, of the 102 590 citizens 42.9 % were German, 25.1 % Russian and 23.6 % Latvian. Contemporary author Mat_ss Kaudz_te characterized his own national segment of the population as follows: Until the middle of the last century Latvians did not recognize themselves as such, but referred to themselves as none other as farmer, for this is how they were called by those who seemed to be, or were, the ones above them. And indeed, by occupation and status they were nothing else. Even if the appellation Latvian was employed, this was understood to mean farmer, because none imagined that farmer and Latvian were two separate concepts.

The Latvians who had gained prosperity in Riga learned the German language and often denied their ethnic roots. It was not easy to identify their compatriots in the city.

Conditions changed during the latter half of the 19th century following the repeal of discriminatory legislation against farmers. Increasing numbers of Latvians came to Riga and their lifestyles underwent profound changes. The development of a Latvian identity and a growth in its intelligentsia led to an enhanced level of national self-esteem, and Latvians found a need for a social organization to enable purposeful gathering and a venue for cultural recreation, exchange of information and furthering of knowledge.
