EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Vaira Vike-Freiberga on the momentous day of her inauguration as the sixth and first female President of Latvia, on July 9, 1999. Dressed in a stunning blue gown, President Vike-Freiberga exudes confidence and poise as she stands before the backdrop of Riga's Museum of History and Navigation. The museum, a testament to Latvia's rich cultural heritage, serves as a fitting setting for this historic occasion. Born in 1937, Vike-Freiberga had a distinguished academic career before entering politics. Her presidency marked a significant period in Latvia's post-Soviet history, during which she focused on strengthening the country's democratic institutions, promoting economic investment, and fostering international relations. The mannequin or manikin in this image serves as a poignant reminder of the day's solemnity and importance. The 20th century European woman, adorned in the Presidential blue dress, stands as a symbol of resilience, determination, and progress. This photograph, taken in Riga, offers a glimpse into Latvia's history and the remarkable journey of its first female head of state.
