EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a glimpse into the daily life of Latvia during the second Soviet occupation from 1944 to 1991. The image, taken at the Occupation Museum in Riga, displays a collection of ration cards, some dated as early as October 29, 1944. The Baltic republic of Latvia, like its sister republics Estonia and Lithuania, was forcibly annexed by the Soviet Union following the end of World War II. Under the communist regime, the Soviet Union implemented a strict rationing system to control the distribution of essential goods such as food, clothing, and fuel. The use of ration cards was mandatory for all citizens, and their color and design denoted the type and quantity of rations allotted to each individual based on their age, gender, and occupation. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships faced by the Latvian people during this period. The faded and worn appearance of the cards, some with handwritten annotations, bears testament to the long years of Soviet rule and the resilience of the Latvian people in the face of adversity. The cards also serve as an important historical artifact, shedding light on the economic and social realities of life under Soviet occupation in the Baltic region during the 20th century.
