Liaužu Bolss ('Voice of the People') was a Latgalian language newspaper published from the Russian capital Petrograd 1917-1918.[1][2] The first issue of the newspaper was issued on 28 April [O.S. 15 April] 1917.[1][2] The newspaper was an organ of the Latgale People's Committee, later the Latgale Working People's Party.[1][2] The editors and publishers of the newspaper were Ignats Asāns and Francis Kemps.[2][3] The newspaper advocated the formation of a Latgalian autonomous region, separate from the Baltics.[4]
It was initially printed at a clandestine printing house, which also printed Jaunō Latgola ('Young Latgale') issued by the same political grouping.[5] The newspaper was published irregularly.[2] During 1917, sixteen issues were published.[1][2] In 1918 the printing house was moved to Rēzekne, where it was confiscated.[5] Liaužu Bolss did not appear between mid-February and mid-May 1918.[2]
