The Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic ( ; , Latviyskaya Sovetskaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika), also known as the Latvian SSR for short, was one of the republics that made up the Soviet Union. Established on 21 July 1940 as a puppet state during World War II in the territory of the previously independent Republic of Latvia after it had been occupied by the Soviet army on 17 June 1940 in conformity with the terms of 23 August 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact. The Latvian SSR was formally annexed into the Soviet Union (USSR) on 5 August 1940, when it nominally became the 15th constituent republic of the USSR. Its territory was subsequently conquered by Nazi Germany in 1941, before being retaken by the Soviets in 1944 � 1945. The first freely elected parliament of the Latvian SSR had passed Sovereignty Declaration "On the Renewal of the Independence of the Republic of Latvia" on May 4, 1990, and renamed the Latvian SSR the Republic of Latvia. The full independence of Republic of Latvia was restored on 21 August 1991.

(English) In this land most dear we gained our freedom, Generation after generation would bear in happiness, Our sea soughs, our fields blossom, Our cities are sounding, Riga is stamping. Let the Soviet Latvia live for ever, Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown. We rose to break chains of slavery, About centuries of fights it is told in every place. Only together with the great Russian nation We become a power, which wins counter force. Let the Soviet Latvia live for ever, Let it shine bright in the Soviet crown. On Lenin's road to happiness and glory, With flag of October we will go forever. We will guard our Soviet Fatherland, Up to the last drop of our <b>...</b>
