INFORMĀCIJA PAR IZSŪTĪŠANU UZ SIBĪRIJU 1941 UN 1949 GADĀ
Route: Riga – Moscow – Krasnoyarsk – Galanin – Kazachinska – Ikshurma – Lesosibirsk – Jeniseijska – a journey by ship to Yeniseysk to Igarka – Krasnoyarsk – Kansk – Dolgij most – Abana – Zapasnoj Imbezh – Suhanoy – Krasnoyarsk – Moscow – Riga.
We placed the eternal memorial plaque in memory of Latvian children and mothers- the victims of the deportations 1941-1949 – in Yeniseysk, Igarka and Aban.
In the summer of 1929, 160 kilometres beyond the Arctic Circle and on the right bank of the Yenisey River, a group of Russian farmers who had fallen victim to Soviet collectivisation were deposited on the shore from several barges. Were there hundreds of them? Perhaps thousands? Who knows? They are all buried there. It is said that nearly all of them died during the winter – the strong men of Siberia, along with their wives and small children. Even if there was any registration of this tragedy at that time, then nothing is left today. Those were the days when Stalin’s idea that “if there is a man, there is a problem; if there is no man, then there is no problem” was in full swing. The first victims of famine, fold and disease were buried not far from the tents and wooden huts in which people lived. Their graves are long gone, because an entire city, complete with a massive wood processing industry, was built on top of their bones. This was the first result of industrialisation in Russia’s polar regions. This is the city of Igarka. Continue reading “…un Igarka, Cerība un Taurenis, 2008”
Between 2000 and 2007, we interviewed 670 people who were deported to Siberia in 1941, when they were children. Fragments of memories shape a mosaic which reveals all of the tragedies of the past – the fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters who were lost for all time. They say that time heals all wounds, but people cannot forget. They must tell their story… Continue reading “600 stāsti par Sibīriju”
Documentary film “Remember of forget?”
On June 14, 1941, 15,400 people from Latvia were deported to prisons and camps. There were 4,000 children among them. During the 1949 deportations, another 42,000 people were deported, along with children. They were guilty of living on Latvian land, their own land, which was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940. The Soviet Union destroyed and deported the indigenous population and brought a flood of its own citizens into Latvia. More than half a century has passed, but the violence of June 14 has not yet ended.

Once There was Siberia
This film is dedicated to the children who were violently forced to leave Latvia on June 14, 1941, to those who died during the journey in cattle cars, to those who died in Siberia – the land of torture and murder, to those who survived, and to those who came home. Of those who were deported from this location, one-half died in the next two or three years. A great tragedy occurred here – water collected under the coffin. The water froze and began to lift the coffin and corpse. The corpse and coffin appeared above ground in the third or the fourth year. The gruesome sight of a dead person’s hand appearing from the ground.

Documentary film “Greetings from Siberia”
In the Krasnoyarsk, Tomsk, Yenyiseiska and other regions, we can still find people who were violently deported from Latvia in 1941 and 1949 – children then, old and disabled people now. They are far from one another, they have no way to communicate amongst themselves. They have been robbed of their native language. Many of them no longer speak Latvian. They have not returned. We don’t know whether they are lost for the Latvian people and Latvian land. That will all depend on “big politics” – something that cannot be foreseen today.

Dokumentālā filma “Sibīrijas dienasgrāmata”
1941.gada 14.jūnija deportācijas rezultātā cieta 15 425 Latvijas iedzīvotāji (latvieši, ebreji, krievi, poļi), tajā skaitā ap četriem tūkstošiem bērnu vecumā līdz 16 gadiem.
1946. un 1947.gadā, pateicoties Latvijas Izglītības ministrijas darbinieku uzņēmībai un pūlēm, vairāk nekā tūkstotis 1941. gada 14. jūnijā aizvestie bērni, bāreņi un pusbāreņi vecumā līdz 16 gadiem, tika atvesti atpakaļ uz Latviju, atdoti audzināšanā radinieku ģimenēs. Diemžēl, ar to viņu moku ceļš nebeidzās.
Gandrīz visus 1949.gada 25.martā pa etapu atkal nosūtīja uz agrākajām nometinājuma vietām, no kurām Dzimtenē viņi varēja atgriezties tikai piecdesmito gadu beigās. Daudzi bija nodibinājuši Krievijā ģimenes, zaudējuši saites ar radiniekiem Latvijā. Tie, kuri atgriezās, dzimtenē tika uzņemti kā nevēlami cilvēki. Sibīrijas bērni otrreizējo deportāciju piedzīvoja kā netaisnību un absurdu. Continue reading “Sibīrijas dienasgrāmata, 2003”
