The Russian department summoned the diplomatic representative of the Baltic state.
Dace Rutka visited the Russian Foreign Ministry, where a strong protest was expressed.
Details were reported in a press release on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry on Friday, December 6.
A protest was expressed to the diplomat in connection with the situation that the authorities of the republic are conducting in relation to the Russian historical and cultural heritage.
The Russian Foreign Ministry responded in this way to the wave of destruction of monuments in Latvia.
Information periodically appears in the media about Latvian authorities issuing orders to demolish one or another monument associated with the USSR or Russia.
Moscow has repeatedly called on Riga to reconsider its policy on this issue.
But Latvia continues to follow the previously planned course.
