The building of the Academy of sciences constructed at communists Latvian SSR on former proudly towers above Riga. When I look at him, for some reason I recollect Moscow

And now we shall talk about sad. Repair of roads in Latvia is in conducting the state. Such asphalt around of my house, in one of Russian areas of Riga, in area with name Purvciems. Here live tens thousand tax bearers, in each family there are one - two machines. All of them pay the road tax which gathers, ostensibly, to repair of their roads. Where this money, not clear because asphalt here did not change from Soviet times disappear

Decades not under repair asphalt in Russian areas is only a trifle. Here is more serious: well-known resort place Kemeri. Former sanatorium " Liva ". After finding of independence by Latvia, it is given on plunder to local residents. When I made these pictures, I have not believed the eyes: in eleven years after the beginning of plunder, on floors of former sanatorium people with the heavy tool still go and something there break off and carry away! It is simply incredible, you see I was convinced personally - here
