The aim of this article is to interpret the discourse of residential areas of Riga through the films of the Soviet period and to examine essential changes in residential structure. Specific image of cinematic formal techniques is used in relation to the urban. The results of movie review are compared with changes in the residential development between 1945–1990. 124 movies display that residential areas are frequently portrayed in the Soviet cinema and they form an integral part of the Soviet urban perception.
The aim of this article is to discover the discourse of living spaces of Riga through the films of the Soviet period and to examine essential changes of private space in different residential structures. This study contributes to the field of human geography by conducting content analysis of a vast number of Soviet films with a focus on the development and spatial organization of apartments in Riga. The analysis of 264 films illustrates that living spaces are rarely portrayed in the Soviet cinema and they mostly provide intentionally formed idealistic information about the qualities and achievements of Soviet private space.
Rakstā tiek pētīts Rīgas iekšpagalmu atveids padomju posma filmās laikā no 1945. līdz 1990. gadam. Pētījumā apskatītās 525 hronikas un spēlfilmas raksturo mikrorajonu būvniecības gaitu, kā arī atklāj pavisam jaunu pilsētas struktūru – lielus pagalmus, ap kuriem ir izvietota daudzstāvu apbūve. Lai novērtētu iekšpagalmu tehnisko stāvokli un simbolisko lomu padomju Rīgā, pētījumā tiek izmantots filmēšanas vietas, filmas naratīva un kinematogrāfisko paņēmienu apraksts.
Filmu satura analīze atklāj, ka dzīvojamās ēkas mikrorajonos ir bieži attēlotas padomju kino, savukārt iekšpagalmu atveids filmās ir ierobežots. No gandrīz neesošas dzīvojamā rajona sastāvdaļas 20. gs. 40. un 50. gados un “paslēpta” mikrorajona kopuma 20. gs. 60. un 70. gados, iekšpagalmu loma kinematogrāfiskajā atveidā tiek nostiprināta sākot ar 20. gs. 80. gadiem. Pētījums atklāj, ka nelielais iekšpagalmu atveids filmās liecina par sarežģītajiem ārtelpas filmēšanas aspektiem.

The aim of this paper is to analyse career migration of the highly skilled from Latvia in the context of post-accession migration since the EU enlargement of 2004. Based on secondary analysis of survey data, the study addresses three empirical questions: What are the motives of these highly skilled migrants, both for the initial migratory move and future mobility? What are the structural factors influencing the decisions of the highly skilled? What kinds of jobs do they actually obtain, and how do they get those jobs? The theoretical framework of the study is a synthesis of several theories, taking into account and testing the concept of liquid migration and its applicability to the career migration of the highly skilled from Latvia. The data analysis demonstrates that the concept of liquid migration does not characterise most typical migration patterns from Latvia, especially the migration patterns of the highly skilled in STEM areas. Contrary to the dominant characteristics of liquid migration, the highly skilled often choose long-term settlement and register abroad as employees.
