Old ghosts die hard

I've been to the Baltics once before. That was in 2002, and I was doing a story on the Lithuanian Air Force. They carefully monitor Russian MIG fighters who fly near the border of the Russians' not-so-mighty neighbour. Judging from Latvia's Occupation Museum in Riga, the Latvians aren't big fans of Ivan either.

The museum portrays more than 50 years of on-and-off torture and horrors from the Nazis and, primarily, from the Soviets. But Riga also offers delicious food, medieval moods and a local booze that tastes something like Jägermeister.

The tax free quota was filled with red wine, as usual.
