The Latvian SSR, along with the other Baltic Soviet Republics was allowed greater autonomy in the late 1980s, and in 1988 the old pre-war Flag of Latvia was allowed to be used, and replaced the Soviet Latvian flag as the official flag in 1990. Pro-independence Latvian Popular Front candidates gained a two-thirds majority in the Supreme Council in the March, 1990 democratic elections. On May 4, the Council declared its intention to restore full Latvian independence after a "transitional" period through negotiations with the USSR. But the central power in Moscow continued to regard Latvia as Soviet republic in 1990-1991. In January 1991, Soviet political and military forces tried unsuccessfully to overthrow the legitimate Latvian authorities by occupying the central publishing house in Riga and establishing a "Committee of National Salvation" to usurp governmental functions. During the "transitional" period Moscow maintained many central Soviet state authorities in Latvia. In spite of this, seventy-three percent of all Latvian residents confirmed their strong support for independence March 3, 1991, in a nonbinding "advisory" referendum. A large number of ethnic Russians also voted for the proposition.

The Republic of Latvia declared the end of "transitional period" and restored de facto full independence on August 21, 1991 in the aftermath of the failed Soviet coup attempt. The Latvian SSR ceased to exist, 4 months before the Soviet Union ceased to exist ( 25 December, 1991). Today`s Republic of Latvia regards itself as a continuation of 1918-1940 independent republic, and do not have any connection with the former Latvian SSR (1940-1991) existed during the period of Soviet occupation and annexation of Latvia.
