The Museum of the Occupied Period of Latvia, the building of the museum is full of Soviet style.

A must visit in Riga. It documents the horrors of Russian occupation and what Latvians had to endure
I remember going to an old building. The gate is very inconspicuous, just around the corner of the street, a seemingly ordinary house of the old building, a small door, looking up to see the above line clearly written Latvia's occupied period museum, exhibiting the history of the KGB in Latvia. Although the facade of the museum is small, there is no cave inside. The entrance is a short introduction to the history of Riga city. This is not the focus, the focus is on the whole point of explanation service, the librarian will unlock you into the inner room, and the gloomy and scary cells gradually come into view, as the interpreter pushes open the door of the prison, a section of the shocking dusty KGB history in Latvia is one by one Unblocked.
Located next to the Blackhead Palace, the appearance is a large black flat box, very solemn. Latvians have always thought that they have been an independent kingdom since ancient times, before being "occupied" by the Soviet Union, and then regained independence after their dissolution, so they have this occupied memorial. Unfortunately, I have not had the opportunity to enter, I don't know what kind of exhibits there are inside.
A place worth a visit to tell the history of Latvia's occupation
我去的时候这个馆关了,临时挪到了老城东北边界的那个公园外侧的一栋老楼里。博物馆是免费的,自愿捐款。展品以图片为主。从内容上看,这个国家对前苏联的恨,远远超过对纳粹德国(其实看不出他们恨德国人,他们甚至把纳粹当成解放者。所谓敌人的敌人就是朋友)。
