To honor the work of the late Vilnis Zaļkalns, who led the Latvian service of Radio Sweden from 1989 until his death in 2002, his colleagues have prepared a double compact disc collection of some of his most memorable broadcasts.

Radio Vilnis includes reports prepared during the independence activities in the Baltic states in the late 1980s and early 1990s, as well as commentary about some of the difficulties facing the nations after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Also heard are Zaļkalns’ commentaries on myths about Sweden.

The 20 tracks on the album are introduced by Austra Krēsliņa, Dagnija Lapsa and Dace Vinklere.
