Description
Summary:The article is dedicated to the personality who left for further generations very rich intellectual and spiritual heritage in the fields of theology, church history, pedagogy. The professor Ludvigs Adamovičs demonstrated not only his intellectual capacities but became very active as a member of different public organizations and societies - the Finish-Latvian friendship society, the Organization of history teachers in secondary school, etc. He had several times been elected a dean of the Faculty of Theology in the University of Latvia and worked as a vice rector of the University. One of the most important qualities or "the red thread" of his academic works and professional life was - being Latvian. His study in the history of Latvian church is so complete that it has not lost its relevance even nowadays. The passion for Latvian identity, perhaps, became a motivation to accept a position of the minister of Education in the government of Latvia as under Kārlis Ulmanis' authoritarian regime. This passion for Latvia and Latvians paradoxically made his life very tragic. He was deported to Siberia as an enemy of his nation by communist regime in 1941. He died in deportation camp and his grave is unknown. The article is divided into five parts: Ludvigs Adamovičs - a Latvian, a theologian, a teacher, a public figure, a victim of the Soviet regime.
