Otomārs Oškalns

Otomārs Oškalns (1904, 12 april — 1947, 1. september) was a prominent Latvian communist and partisan fighter. He was declared the Hero of the Soviet Union representing the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic. After his death, Riga's second largest train station was named after him. When Latvia became independent in 1991, Oškalns was viewed as a Soviet collaborator, and his name was stripped from the train station. Monuments to him were also removed from public locations.
