Abstract

The article examines the attitude of irregular Latvian military units active in the territory of Latvia at the onset of the Germany-USSR war - national partisans and self-defence fighters - towards the Soviet and German occupation rules. Views on the relevant topic expressed in historiography are analysed, to help in understanding the notions of resistance and collaboration/collaborationism in the context of these military units. The article raises a topical research problem and suggests possible solutions with regard to the research of these issues.
