At around one o'clock, a window of my office on the ground floor of the museum here, you can see it, was smashed and a Molotov cocktail was thrown in and my office was exploded.

An attack on the museum is an attack on the story of our country and our values. And therefore, I felt that this is an attack on the foundations of the Latvian state, the constitution and the truth.

This is important to say that the main decision at that night was the museum would be open the next morning.

This was the main decision and we had to prove that the museum could not be silent by such a method. And the museum's message was we cannot be intimidated.

If I have a telephone call at night, I understand that something happened, something awful happened.

And fire in a museum, this is the most awful thing in the museum. And I was shocked, but I immediately ran to the museum.
