Show Notes
Pirmā No Malas Redzams epizodē Māris raugās uz Latviju, Eiropu un mūsdienu pasauli no diasporas latvieša skatpunkta. Balstoties uz Ukrainas analītiķa Jonathana Finka izvirzītajiem 10. jautājumiem par tā dēvētajiem 'labajiem krieviem', šī saruna izvēršas daudz plašākā par mums pašiem.
Vai mēs spējam nosaukt agresoru? Vai mēs aizstāvam suverenitāti bez atrunām? Vai mēs rīkojamies, vai tikai runājam? Un vai mēs vēl spējam atšķirt patiesību no trokšņa, kad propaganda, algoritmi un politiskais teātris kļuvuši par ikdienu?
Šī nav epizode par Krieviju vien. Tā ir epizode par Latviju.
Par mazās tautas izdzīvošanu lielu spēku pasaulē. Par personīgo atbildību, kultūras pašrefleksiju un spēju skaidri redzēt, kad arvien vairāk cilvēki cenšas pateikt, ko domāt, bet arvien mazāk māca, kā!
No Malas Redzams ir podkāsts par Latviju, pasauli ap Latviju un, ko dažreiz iespējams saskatīt tikai no malas.

English In the debut episode of No Malas Redzams ('Visible From the Outside'), host Māris explores Latvia, Europe, and the modern world through the eyes of a first-generation Latvian born outside Latvia. Inspired by Ukrainian commentator Jonathan Fink's discussion of the concept of a 'good Russian', this episode broadens the conversation to consider how small nations survive in an increasingly unstable world.
Can we clearly identify an aggressor? Do we defend sovereignty without compromise? Do we act, or merely speak? And can we still distinguish truth from noise in an age dominated by propaganda, algorithms, social media, and political theatre?
This episode is not just about Russia. It is about Latvia. It is about national identity, personal responsibility, cultural self-reflection, information warfare, and the challenges facing small nations in the twenty-first century.
Drawing on history, geopolitics, and lived experience, Māris presents ten critical questions that Latvians — and indeed all citizens of democratic societies — should ask themselves when evaluating leaders, movements, narratives, and even their own beliefs.
In This Episode: A Latvian diaspora perspective on Latvia and the West Ten questions every citizen should consider Sovereignty, national identity, and geopolitical reality Propaganda, media influence, and information warfare Imperial thinking and the survival of small nations Personal responsibility in modern democracies Latvia's place in an increasingly uncertain world

More from No Malas Redzams
Latvia is facing some uncomfortable questions. Are political promises translating into meaningful action, and can the country's institutions maintain public confidence?
Latvia has voted, the ballots have been counted, and the political landscape has changed dramatically. But winning an election is one thing. Governing a country is another. In this episode of No Malas Redzams, Māris examines the extraordinary results of Latvia's 15th Saeima election, drawing on the 9 October 2026 weekly news briefing from Latvijas Sabiedriskais medijs (LSM). Apvienotais saraksts (United List) has emerged with 41 seats and 35.3% of the vote, while Latvia First and Sovereign Power/Alliance of New Latvians have secured significant parliamentary representation. New Unity has suffered a substantial setback, and the Union of Greens and Farmers has failed to cross the parliamentary threshold. With voter turnout at just 51.81%, the election raises important questions about political representation, public confidence, and Latvia's future direction. But the election is only the beginning. As Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs prepares to form a new government, Māris examines the coalition mathematics, possible political partnerships, and the challenge of turning campaign promises into effective government. And beyond the political manoeuvring, Latvia's everyday problems haven't disappeared.
With Latvia’s 15th Saeima election on 3 October 2026, this episode of No Malas Redzams examines what five political candidates actually said when speaking directly with Latvians in Australia and New Zealand.
