Here I present an interesting album of photographs of the ancient city of Riga, the capital and largest city in the Baltic State of Latvia....

Riga has a long and varied history. Founded in 1201, the city had been a trading port for hundreds of years. Situated upriver from the mouth of the Daugava River, on a sheltered natural harbour. Riga began to develop as a centre of Viking trade during the early Middle Ages. In 1282, Riga became a member of the Hanseatic League giving it economic and politcal stability until the Polish-Swedish Wars between 1621-1625 when the city came under the rule of Sweden
When these photographs were taken, Riga was part of the Russian Empire in 1710 following the Russian Victory over Sweden in the Great Northern War. During these years under Russian rule, Riga developed as an important industrial port and was, by 1900, the third largest city in Russia after Moscow and St. Petersburg.....

The Pskov-Riga railway was built at public expense between 1886-1889. Management of the railway was based in Pskov.
The first proper passenger and freight service opened in July 1889.
The total length of the railway is 460 km or 286 mi.
In 1893, the railway was merged with the baltic Railway, who established overall control.
Finally in 1907 the Baltic and Pskov Railway was merged with the St. Petersburg-Warsaw Railway……….

Taking a highway bus to the Soviet corner of Latvia | Daugavpils

Watch how to catch a bus deep into the former Soviet Union, with diabetes. Specifically, we went from Riga to Daugavpils in southeast Latvia, where they speak more Russian than Latvian. Quite a change of scenery from the capital Riga, and the strange characters on the bus plus the serene but harsh beauty of Daugavpils make it a spectacular day.

BONUS: This is my first day of the trip in which EVERY BLOOD SUGAR is under 200! Been a long time coming

This video is a look back at Day 14 of an epic trip that lasted over four months and took in 18 countries, mostly in the stunning but lesser-visited parts of Europe. Chock full of all the travel tales *and* the blood sugar ups and downs.

???????? Inside KGB PRISON CELLS in RIGA | Latvia's SHOCKING Past | RIGA TRAVEL 2020 in 4K!

???????? RIGA, LATVIA - Welcome to Riga, Latvia! This video is Part 2 of my 4 part 2020 Latvia Travel series which also includes a trip to Tallinn, Estonia! In this series, we are checking out some of the history of Riga and some of the things to do in Riga, including the beautiful art nouveau Riga Old Town, Riga Central Market, and much more.

In this video, we visit the Freedom Monument in Riga and discuss the history of power struggles, occupation and independence in Latvia, an addition to visiting the harrowing and heartbreaking Corner House (KGB Headquarters), a building which once housed the Cheka (otherwise known as the KGB, the secret police of the USSR during the time of the Soviet Union until it's breakdown in 1991).

If you're planning a Riga trip in 2021 to explore Riga history or Soviet Union history, I would 100% recommend visiting the Corner House. Obviously, it's not for the faint-hearted, but it is an incredibly interesting building to learn about the history of Riga. It really puts things into perspective.

Note that this was the first video I filmed using a new phone so I had some teething troubles with wind and microphone issues. You can turn on the subtitles if the wind is annoying. There is one scene where the sound only works in the left ear if you are using headphones so make sure you have both headphones in. It's not an issue from the next video.

Strolling around Riga

A couple of years ago I lived in Riga (Latvia) for two months. My last day in the city I picked up my pocket camera and went out for a stroll to get some shots. Today I found them in my external HD. Their quality is really bad, but I decided to edit them anyway.

Soviet Planes in Riga, Latvia - Unravel Travel TV

Tucked away in a corner of Riga, Latvia is one of the most impressive collections of old Soviet planes and helicopters found anywhere in the world. The largest Soviet military plane collection outside the Russian Commonwealth is, surprisingly enough, in Riga, Latvia. The collection has been brought together over last 40 years and the owner, 76-year-old Viktor Talpas, has no plans to stop.

For any plane enthusiast, this is paradise.
This aviation museum on the outskirts of Riga holds one of the world’s largest collections of old Soviet aircraft.
The collection was put together by former aircraft engineer Viktor Talpas.
--SOUNDBITE (RUSSIAN with English subtitles)—
Viktor Talpas, Owner, Riga Aviation Museum)
“In the beginning, we were given scrap metal and later received the first plane. Which is over in the corner.”
—VOICEOVER—
For Viktor, who worked for Russian aviation company Aeroflot, this has been a 46-year labour of love.
During the Soviet era, the museum was home to a young pilots club, for those who wanted to learn about aeroplanes, and Victor was their instructor.
--SOUNDBITE (RUSSIAN with English subtitles)—
(Viktor Talpas, Owner, Riga Aviation Museum)
“It was for children starting from 8th grade. We were preparing them for the future. So we gave them the aviation bug, and once you have that, you have it forever.”
--VOICEOVER--
After Latvia gained independence in 1991, the pilots club closed. But Viktor continued to add to his aviation collection, from Mig25 jets to Mi6 helicopters…
--SOUNDBITE (RUSSIAN with English subtitles)—
(Viktor Talpas, Owner, Riga Aviation Museum)
“This plane was a breakthrough in its time. In the 70s when it was released, it was the first of its kind.
In the 60s, this was the largest aviation helicopter in the world.”
—VOICEOVER—
The museum is privately funded, though planes can come cheap. This one was bought in Moscow for just three euros. And while transportation costs are obviously much higher, Victor says his collection is about more than money.
--SOUNDBITE (RUSSIAN with English subtitles)—
Viktor Talpas, Owner, Riga Aviation Museum)
“I’ve worked practically all my life in aviation - from 1959 until today. This was my hobby and you can see the results today.”
--VOICEOVER—
Most of these aircraft will never fly again but in their heyday they were a testament to a golden age in aviation.
And as for Viktor, well he may be 76, but he’s not planning on retiring anytime soon.
