CCCP

I will never understand why people think its cool to wear and sell CCCP clothing. CCCP stands for the Soyuz Sovietskikh Sotsialistichieskikh Riespublik or Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR). I see it all over Riga, people are wearing it they sell it in stores.....but I just don't get it. I mean you don't see people walking around Germany with giant swastikas and Nazi paraphernalia probably because its illegal there but still. So why is it ok to wear clothing from the "Evil Empire" here? Maybe its because Riga is only 40 percent Latvian or because there is an entire new generation here that never lived under communism. Or maybe I am just getting old and my realization that its not cool to wear clothing from a government that killed and deported millions of people, confirms that I am totally clueless as to whats cool with the kids in Latvia.
