The Barricades were confrontation between Latvia and forces loyal to the Soviet Union in January 1991 in Latvia, mainly in Riga. The events are named for the popular effort of building and protecting barricades from 13 January until about 27 January. Latvia, which had declared restoration of independence from the Soviet Union a year earlier, anticipated that Soviet Union might attempt to violently regain control over the country.Web: Wikipedia
