Day of the Restoration of Latvian Independence (Latvian: Latvijas Republikas Neatkarības atjaunošanas diena) is a Latvian national holiday and event, being celebrated annually on 4 May. It marks, like the other Baltic republics, the restoration of the Latvian Republic declaration by the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR on May 4, 1990. This was the official declaration of the Restoration of Independence, and the actual one, that brought also the international recognition, was adopted as a constitutional law "On the Statehood of the Republic of Latvia" by Latvian Supreme Council on August 21, 1991, a day after the Restoration Act of Estonia during August Putch. Soviet Union recognised Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania as independent states on September 6, 1991. Russian SFSR did so already on August 24, 1991.
