The newspaper was issued in Latvian and Russian languages. In fact, many Russian People Of Culture And Science In Latvia supported the PFL. The newspaper was popular not only in Latvia, but among progressive population of the Soviet Union , and Russian edition peaked to 100,000 in curculation. Ironically, ''Atmoda'', as a token of recognition of rights of Russians by PFL, was a ground of insinuations by competing more radical nationalist political parties, such as Latvian National Independence Movement , that PFL was ridden with Moscow KGB spies to control the national movement in Latvia. On January 1991, Communist functionaries occupied the national Print House claiming it was Party property, and ''Atmoda'' had to be printed in Siauliai . In 1993, a dispute erupted about the fate of Mass Media in the new independent state. PFL wanted to see ''Atmoda'' as a tool of party propaganda, while journalists stood on the true independence of press. This resulted in a court suit for the division of assets. REFERENCE
