Rassa's speech at Saeima meetings often interrupted his political the laughing cries he was able to respond to. “I am sure that you, gentlemen, who laugh here, will not laugh in the vis if the Bolsheviks - Communist, because they are your brothers and no fear of them, but you have a fear of national Latgale, '– these frightening prophecy words in Fr. The tradog says at the Saeima meeting in 1925. We have to think about these words today, because, unfortunately, 11.
