Latgalia, POLISH LIVONIA & the Latgalians: Geopolitics of the BACK OF LATVIA

Résumé

Latgalia also known as Polish Livonia, is the easternmost region of Latvia, at the border with Russia and Byelorussia. This region is mainly inhabited by two « minorities » of Latvia, Russian-speaking Slavs and Latgalians (a Catholic Baltic ethnic group using its own language, Latgalian, a tongue considered intermediary between Latvian and Lithuanian). Geopolitics of Latgalia and its inhabitants is part of the Baltic issue and part of the issue of the Russian-speaking people of the Near Abroad and Latvia, where they are both numerous and influential. This study focuses on ethnopolitics, interethnic tensions and interregional conflicts (capital region/remote region) in Latvia, mainly through the analysis of images. It also investigates the main questions of Eastern Europe in general and the local balance of powers between such actors as Russia, Byelorussia, Poland, the EU, NATO.
