Revolution and Civil War in the Baltics, late 1918
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.by Oleg Airapetov [Regnum] The situation in the Baltics was very difficult. In the former Ostzeyz region of the Russian province, the confrontation between the German, Latvian and Estonian elements was traditionally strong. Before the First World War, the territory of the Baltic States was divided into three provinces - Livonia, Courland and Estland. The most developed and populated was the Livland province. Its largest cities were Riga (322,500 people), Yuryev (modern Tartu, Estonia - 42,000). The rest of the cities had a small number of inhabitants - from several hundred to 4-5,000 thousand.
