 Abstract 
Colonial discourse usually is about relationships between Orient and Occident, (global)north and (global) south or between the west and the rest. However, there are some scholars whosuggest that this is not enough. In search of a truly global understanding of postcolonialism, theyargue, more cases have to be taken into consideration. Most prominently the cases of post-Sovietcountries. This paper deals with one of these countries, Latvia, and finds that not only did theSoviet occupation of more than 50 years constitute imperialist colonialism, but also thatpostcolonial theory is a useful tool in explaining Latvia's way since the end of the occupation in1990.Colonized Colonizers: Abstract3
