Summary "Latvia & Russia: One problem of the world-peace considered by Arveds Bergs" is a political treatise written in the early 20th century, specifically in 1920. The author, Arveds Bergs, who was a member of the National Council of Latvia, examines the complex relationship between Latvia and Russia in the context of international peace following World War I. The book delves into the aspirations for independence among the Baltic states and highlights the broader implications for world peace and stability in Eastern Europe. In this work, Bergs argues for the immediate recognition of Latvia as an independent nation, contending that the old political dynamics between Russia and its borderland peoples must be re-evaluated in light of the devastation wrought by the Great War and subsequent civil turmoil in Russia. He criticizes the notion of establishing a federated Russia and emphasizes that such a model is impractical due to historical tensions and differing national identities. Throughout the book, he advocates for the principle of self-determination for smaller nations and warns of the dangers posed by a resurgent, centralized Russia, arguing that the future of peace in Europe depends on recognizing and supporting the independence of nations like Latvia.
