And so it was: I stay my place, you stay your place (to make a somewhat bizarre translation of what Leader Ulmanis said when the Soviet army rolled, unopposed, into Latvia in June, 1940). It quickly turned out that for Ulmanis “my place” was an unknown grave somewhere in the USSR, while “your place” (for the leader’s subjects) was a lot of places, many of them horrifying (Siberian labor camps, the Riga Ghetto, Waffen-SS fighting hopeless battles in some Russian swamp, Red Army on the other side of the swamp, fishing boats to Sweden, semi-slave labor under Allied bombs in Germany, and a whole range of merry adventures). In other words, almost everything had been fine on the Leader’s watch, but he just happened to lose the country.

2. lielā zārka nagla bija 80-o pašu beigu (vai 90-o pašu sākuma) "Dabas un vēstures kalendārs", kur ļoti sīki bija pa datumiem, ar dokumentiem un citātiem aprakstīts 1940. gada jūnijs un bēdīgi slavenie vārdi kā rezultātā mēs palikām savās vietās - Litenē, Sibīrijā un centrālcietuma pagalmā.
(tiesa, vēl vienu senāku ierakstu par kulmani un kurā savā vietā viņš palika es ātrumā nevaru atrast)

resp., lielie prāti domā līdzīgi :-)
