Riga

KGB Victims’ Memorial

  Corner of Brīvības and Stabu     more than a year ago

Surrounded as they are by a cocktail bar, a coffee shop and a striptease club, one could hardly guess that locals once considered the unassuming rusted doors of this memorial the very gates of hell. The text on the left side sums it up best: ‘During the Soviet occupation the state security agency /KGB/ imprisoned, tortured, killed and morally humiliated its victims in this building.’
