How free are we?

Two landmarks and symbols of Riga - Freedom Statue and St Peter's Church. Freedom Statue really translates from Latvian as Freedom Monument, but I refuse to accept that our freedom is gone. Why gone? Because the word "monument" implies that our freedom is commemorated.

Bonjour!

Ne peut-on pas célébrer quelque chose qui existe? Intéressante question.
De quand date ce monument?

Hello!

Couldn't we celebrate something existing? Interesting question.
