Otomārs Oškalns (12 April 1904 — 1 September 1947) was a prominent Latvian communist and partisan fighter. He was declared aHero of the Soviet Union representing the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic.[1] After his death, Riga's second largest railway 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 station. Monuments to him were also removed from public locations.
