These representatives being assembled at<br />

Moscow and having mutually examined the<br />

powers with which they were furnished, which<br />

were recognised to be in good and due form,<br />

agreed on the following terms:<br />

Article i.<br />

Parties shall cease from the date of the coming<br />

into force of the present <strong>Treaty</strong>.<br />

Article 2.<br />

the Federal Socialist Republic of the Russian<br />

for all nations, even to the<br />

which they have been incorporated, and in<br />

and territory which formerly belonged to<br />

Russia under the then existing constitutional<br />

law as well as under international Treaties,<br />

which, in the sense here indicated, shall in<br />

subjection of Latvia to Russia shall not entail<br />

any obligation towards Russia on the part of<br />

the Latvian people or territory.<br />
