25ème anniversaire des barricades de janvier à Riga. The Barricades, Riga, 25th anniversary.
Voici un timbre à 0,54€ historiquement fort intéressant émis le 13 Janvier 2016 par la Lettonie pour commémorer les 25 ans des évènements de janvier, plus connus sous le nom de "Barricades". Ils s'agit de l'invasion des trois pays baltes en janvier 1991 par les troupes soviétiques pour tenter de reprendre le contrôle de ces trois républiques qui s'étaient déclarées indépendantes un an auparavant. Ces manœuvres militaires échouèrent, et l'Estonie, la Lettonie et la Lituanie restèrent libres avant de rejoindre en 2004 l'Union européenne. Merci Juris pour cet envoi.
