“…Instead of this "despised reactionary phenomenon" the ideologists propagandized the emergence of a new historical community, the 'Soviet people' -"sharing a common territory, economic system, culture, the goal of building communism and a common langue". 26 In order to achieve this unity one of the tools might be the abolition of traditional ethnic structures through Russification, in other words -from a geographer point of view -through reducing spatial segregation of the ethnic groups. This endeavour might have a noticeable consequence for ESI values of certain ethnic groups not only within the Soviet Union but also within the Latvian SSR (Figure 10).…”

“…Then, the patients from Dr. Elsie Inglis' hospital were moved to the Czar Lazar Barrack Hospital, together with the medical staff. When she protested to the Serbian hospital director (major Nicolič) replied that of course the Germans took her hospital, since she "had made it so beautiful" 26 . At Czar Lazar Dr. Elsie Inglis worked in the main building while the unit of Dr. Hallway had to establish itself in the magazine, both treating prisoners of war.…”

“…Ioan Cantacuzino is also present among other scientists recommended for the Nobel Prize and received four nomination letters in 1933. The letters are all signed by French professors from Reims who recommended Cantacuzino for his "work on immunity reaction on invertebrates and contact immunity" 26 . Born in Bucharest as a member of the ancient Cantacuzino 27 family, he graduated from the University of Paris' Faculty of Sciences and Faculty of Medicine, and worked at several hospitals in Paris, obtaining his doctorate in 1894.…”

It is a well-known fact that the Baltic area is traditionally one of the most diverse regions of Europe in terms of ethnic concerns; we can observe in many settlements that four or even five religions have their own churches, cemeteries and at least as many ethnic groups are having their schools etc. Regarding geography literature, no generally accepted method has been applied yet to measure the population's diversity and spatial segregation; in most cases only the number and ratio of ethnic groups were described. This research paper proposes a different approach: the adaptation of the so-called Simpson's Diversity Index, based on probability theory and originally used by ecologists to measure biodiversity, to human geography. The study seeks the answers to: where, when, why and how has the Ethnic Diversity and Ethnic Segregation Index changed in Latvia during the first and second independence periods? What kind of spatial patterns are possible to observe on the basis of the transformation? The enormous data is processed by modern GIS software products and projected on thematic maps.
