Opmerkingen
Global Avantgarde Latvia 32; cf. Fraser L262. Kreisā Fronte (Left Front) was one of the first Latvian-language socialist periodicals. "Olga Laicena and Jūlijs Ķipers recall a meeting in the Laicens' apartment, choosing the name of the journal and following the concept of Vladimir Mayakovsky's LEF (1923-1925). Although by the time that Kreisā Fronte began, it was more likely inspired by the design and content of Novyj LEF (The New LEF, 1927-1928)" (Fraser).
