Summary
Greetings, Comrades! This time, we take a look at a thing that I’ve wanted to make an ep for a long while. Latvian bomb throwing anarchists that came into being right after 1905. And Peter the Painter is the most famous of them all, literally being the reason why British cops walk everywhere armed. Involved with a firefight with Churchill himself, it’s an amazing story. Part 2 coming soon! Enjoy!

| 1:06.1 | In the following episode, I will be covering some, well, historical people from Lafayah that I wanted to cover up for |
| 1:12.9 | a while now, but who've been kind of pushed to sidelines by history. You see, there's a certain |
| 1:18.3 | kind of feel to the history books and in general studies about Latvians here. We like to paint |
| 1:24.8 | ourselves as some sort of victim people, or we like to portray ourselves as some sort of, you know, very prudish and proper and nice people who've never done anything wrong, obviously, or whatnot.

| 1:47.9 | And even if you're a Lafayan, I think you might find some of the information here to be interesting to your needs. |
| 1:53.6 | And, hey, I'm pretty sure you never learned about these guys in school. |
| 1:57.3 | About 95% sure, because the thing that they don't tell you at school is that we have a |
| 2:01.5 | long and proud history of anarchism, bomb-throwing, and absolute mad lads doing weird-ass |
| 2:08.0 | exploration. Now, if you've been following the Mike Duncan's Revolution series, then you |
