Latvia was under Soviet rule as the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic (LSSR) from 1940 to 1941 and again from 1944 to 1991, following its initial occupation and annexation by the USSR. This period was marked by the suppression of Latvian independence, forced collectivization, and significant population displacement. The Soviet occupation was widely considered illegal by the international community and human rights organizations.
