About This Book

The work examines relations between Latvia and Russia amid postwar upheaval, arguing that unresolved Russian instability endangers wider peace and requires an immediate settlement for borderland peoples. It reviews diplomatic debates at the Paris conference, criticizes proposals to postpone decisions, and assesses the practical consequences of delay. The analysis rejects an all-Russian federation on historical, cultural, economic, and constitutional grounds and notes local tendencies toward political independence. It evaluates strategic and economic interests on both sides, the Baltic region's role in political equilibrium, and options for guarantees, partition lines, and communications, concluding with recommendations for a definite and secure settlement.
