metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The author analyses the reflection of the events of December 17, 1926, in Lithuania in the conversations
  of Soviet and Latvian diplomats and politicians. Soviet diplomats (charge d’affaires S. Borkusevich, consul
  general V. Shenshev) usually compiled a record of interviews for timely reports on the current political situation in
  Latvia and when the coup had occurred carried out the records of conversations with representatives of various
  Latvian political circles in connection with Lithuanian events. These materials were written in an atmosphere of
  extreme uncertainty and lack of reliable information, based even on gossips. Soviet diplomats, first, sought to find
  out whether the coup had been mounted under “foreign influence” (the possibility of Polish and German influence
  was discussed) and, secondly, to realize if the risk of a similar “far right” coup was real in Riga, especially when left
  cabinet had just come to power. The reports that were sent to Moscow (People’s Commissariat of International
  Affairs) demonstrate both the attitude of various representatives of the political spectrum of Latvia to the Lithuanian
  coup and the complex international situation. The events of December 17, 1926, in Lithuania influenced the
  formation of the Soviet policy in Latvia. During the negotiations conducted with the center-left government of
  Latvia on a trade agreement the Soviet side had also take into account interests of the right-wing opposition —
  representatives of the Peasants’ Union of Latvia. A trade agreement with Latvia was concluded on June 2, 1927,
  and the representatives of the Peasants’ Union gained certain benefits — thus, certain lessons from Lithuanian
  coup were drawn.
