One Solution to a Monumental Problem
Re “His Former Kingdom for a Parking Spot,” July 13: It seems that Eugene Gomberg and Stanislav Razumovsky have a major problem on their hands.
Although nobody asked them to restore the statue and nobody wants it, a very simple solution could be to bury the statue in the Baltic Sea halfway between Latvia and Sweden.
That way the graves of 60,000 killed and buried in Riga during the Northern War would not have to look up to “the Great Liberator” and his statue would be on the way to fight more Swedes.
