My Balandin's submachine gunner Kolka... approached her and says: "... I saw you already under Huesca... ¡No pasarán!" And she replies: "I don't remember you" ...

Kolka

Kolka Glacier, a glacier in North Ossetia, Russia, near Mount Kazbek

Livonian coast

During 2009-2011 the dirt road was asphalted and modernised as part of EU funded Kolka-Ventspils road project.

Most deliveries were made by the sea and most villages had their own pier (remains of piers can still be seen in Saunags, Pitrags and Mazirbe; only Kolka pier is still in use).

Livonian people

Also, the Livonian language was reintroduced in the elementary schools in Riga, Staicele, Ventspils, Dundaga and Kolka.

It has been suggested that the first person to convert some Livonians to Christianity was the Danish archbishop Absalon, who supposedly built a church in the Livonian village today known as Kolka.

A new Russian Orthodox church was built in Kolka along with a grammar school nearby and navy school in Mazirbe.
