- Segodnya (Riga)
Segodnya (Today, _ru. "Сегодня") was a Russian-language newspaper published in
Riga ,Latvia from 1919 to 1940.Its editorial line was liberal and
democratic . It had a comparatively well-developed network of foreign correspondents and extensive analysis of European affairs, making it popular amongst Russianémigrés , and thus the Russian newspaper with the largest circulation outside the USSR in the 1930s.The newspaper was shut down by the Soviet authorities following the occupation and annexation of Latvia by the USSR in 1940. Due to the paper's editorial line critical of Soviet
communism , a number of the persons connected with "Segodnya" were singled out for persecution by theNKVD .A number of its staff and contributors came from Latvia's Jewish community, and perished in the
Holocaust during Latvia's occupation byNazi Germany in 1941–1944.Literature
