Happy birthday, Gunars Astra! Who else can claim they gave the Soviets such headaches they had to lock you away for being too witty—and too right? You've always been ahead of your time; apparently, advocating human rights was just way too radical. Cheers to your courage, determination, and unmatched spirit that never hesitated (though it frequently irritated the Soviet bureaucracy).Your unwavering stand inspired generations to bravely speak their truth—and not quietly either! Your resilience turned prison bars into powerful platforms for freedom. Keep enjoying the well-earned respect as Latvia continues celebrating your victories. Happy birthday—you timeless rebel!
