Latgale is a small area in the east of Latvia, on the very outskirts of the European Union. Sometimes it seems that this land is in the center of the reservoir. In other cases, it is represented as an ark in the desert, saving mankind, covered with sand. Not so long ago, life in this part of the Baltic region was completely different. The number of Jews in cities sometimes reached 90%. The Old Believers, having escaped persecution in Russia, built their own villages there. At present, Latgalians are distinguished by their dialect, poverty and provinciality. This land is disappearing. The way of its existence, which for centuries made this region exceptional and extraordinary, disappears.
