The edit was indeed correct. Not whole Abrene district was transffered from Latvian SSR to Russia, but  eastern half of it (Abrene district was larger and included as well areas that are part of Latvia until now). Implying that Guberniya and Oblast is the same is wrong (thus couldn't be said "added back to Pskov Oblast" because previously it was part of Pskov Guberniya). As well, the mistake of missing parenthesis was corrected. Burann 12:01, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

* Documents of the Soviet Intelligence Testify: Abrene Region is Latvian Territory
Apart from the bad English ("Abrene region is mentioned as the Latvian territory") the main argument seems to be that Moscow's spies in German-occupied Latvia were always using the Latvian names of these places. Well, for starters, a lot of these spies must necessarily have been ethnic Latvians, because ethnic Russians in German-occupied Latvia would have found it very difficult to operate as spies. Also, both sides (the Latvian spies and Moscow headquarters) were probably using Latvian maps, because there had not been much time between the Soviet invasion and the German one to make Russian maps that gave all these places their historical Russian names back. Using Augspils instead of Vyshgorodok (the place of a late medieval Russian fort protecting against the German Knights) is a case in point. This naming argument is therefore useless.
Proof that the source website is suspect:
http://www.axisglobe.com/article.asp?article=134
I quote from this article:
"Attempts by Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius to gain recognition from Moscow of the fact of their occupation from the Forties through the Eighties and demanding the return of the seized territories, are cynically rejected as "harmful aspirations to reconsider the historical results and significance of WWII." (my bold letters)
Surely, Wikipedia contributors are again and again reminded by Latvians and Estonians that Riga and Tallinn (let us forget Vilnius for a moment) do not really demand the return of these territories? And this article is not from 1991, it clearly says "31.05.2005" at the top.
I propose to delete the Axis link (which has already been deleted from the Abrene Region article, by the way). If not, a link must be made to the article above pointing out this precise passage so as to show that this source is doubtful.

replies: text: I won't object to the link's deletion (it is rather error-ridden and the English is indeed poor), but I'm afraid I haven't been around Wikipedia long enough to know what the policies for external links are -- if you could point me in the direction of some explanatory pages, I'd appreciate it. The fact is, though, that the Russian language link contains rather dubious material, too, and many articles have numerous links to questionable pages (e.g., the comparison of Lithuanian and Latvian citizenship policies linked to in two articles is not very informative and somewhat propagandistic). Personally, I would rather see more links than links to only, er, NPOV material. --Pēteris Cedriņš 14:53, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Axis link 

message: This mentions 76 Latvian inhabitants. It also has interviews with local residents who used to live there before WWII, and complain about Latvinization. So, it does not seem like everybody was compelled to leave in 1944-1946.
By the way, should the fact that Pytalovo was the first area where agriculture was privatized (under Gorbachev) not be mentioned here?--pgp 12:40, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
