At WEB-pages of "Tribunal" - bulletin of Latvian
National-Bolsheviks <tribunal.narod.ru>,
I have found proposed flag of Latvia after possible in the future
victory of National Bolshevik party in this country. The
inscription (in Russian): "Flag of Latgalian
National-Bolshevik Republic, 2005". In my image I used
colours closed to latvian flag. I don`t sure in it, because the
image of the flag in the site is "waved". Maybe it
is plain red. National-Bolshevik Party is not Communist
(but they use popular H&S symbols). It is a Neu-Nazi party.

Latgalia is a province in the south-easern part of Latvia.
Latgalia has a political and cultural history different from that
of the rest of the Latvia which were long under German-Swedish
rule and thus became marked by German-Swedish culture. Latgalia
remained under Polish-Lithuanian rule until 1772, when it was
ceded to the Russian Empire. Today, this part of Latvia is almost
entirely inhabited by ethnic Russians. Oddly enough, only the
tiny minority of ethnic Latvians in this part of Latvia are today
called "Latgalians".
On the same "Nationalist Bolshevik" website there is an
article about a radar station in Latgalia which recently has been
set up by the Latvian Government in order to meet NATO standards.
