Currently the text says "In 2001, when he went to Latvia for the last time, he said that he had gone to celebrate his 100th birthday in Latvia". Considering that he was "only" 95/96 in 2001, what does that mean? Is it perhaps a wrong translation and should actually be "he is going to celebrate"? Or is it supposed to tell us that he no longer had full mental capacity at this point? Even though many people wish they would only confuse dates at the age of 95, I don't think it should be in here, it's not doing a service to a great person. So in short, this needs to be removed or clarified.--146.198.27.250 (talk) 19:16, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
