 In the Latvian SSR, "Cīņa" was one of the main Latvian-language dailies.In 1990, when the Ķezbers faction split from the main LKP to form the Independent Communists, they changed the name of the newspaper to "Neatkarīgā Cīņa" (The Independent Struggle), which after privatisation in the 1990s later became "Neatkarīgā Rīta Avīze".The Russian-language sister publication to "Cīņa" published by the LKP was the daily "Sovetskaya Latviya" (Soviet Latvia); while the daily "Padomju Jaunatne" (Soviet Youth) was the newspaper of the Latvian Young Communist League.
