[edit] old talk
Something is strange with the years in this article. From 1941 to 1944, Latvia was occupied by Nazi Germany. So, Soviet authorities arresting Petrovs in 1942 for critisizing Soviet government in Latvia sounds a bit unlikely. Can anyone cross-check the years? (In principle, it's possible that he was arrested in Soviet Union in 1942 for critisizing the Soviet government that existed in Latvia before Nazi occupation. But that does not sound likely.)

- I've added a bit of info to the article (he was in Russia when the Nazis invaded, and wasn't able to return to Latvia, so he stayed in Russia, and that's where he was arrested). Better?
- I should probably mention, by the way, that my source for this hasn't been the Fride book mentioned in the article (which I have somewhere, but haven't yet read), but a piece by Hans Ree at chesscafe.com (at [1] at time of writing, but it will be replaced with something different in a couple of weeks), which, by the looks of it, summarises Fride's book (of course, I checked the chess stuff was right with databases). --Camembert

- Yes, that answers my question. Thanks! Andris 17:51, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
