Today, Lithuania marks the Day of Mourning and Hope (Gedulo ir Vilties diena). On 14 June 1941, the first mass Soviet deportations began. Thousands of Lithuanians,men, women, children, and the elderly, were torn from their homes and sent to Siberia and other remote regions of the USSR. We remember the victims. We honour the survivors.
@ATGuerreiro@United24media You putin's bootlickers perform some serious mental gymnastics.
I bet you were tring to find lithuanian SS brigade and only managed to find a... construction batallion.
@BalticDanny@the_antz_nest@Twee_Papillon 1. Where do you walk that you can't walk through without hearing Zulu? Is it your video even?
2. It's a routine VFS Global visa processing office. Some were closed, some were opened. It's not operated by LT government.
3. "644" - large numbers? Please..
@the_antz_nest@Twee_Papillon@BalticDanny Wrong debate. I fact-checked specific claims, all fabricated or grossly misrepresented. Whether immigration policy is good or bad is a separate discussion.
@the_antz_nest@Twee_Papillon@BalticDanny Sure, laws exist. When someone shouts, "Immigrants, go home!" in the street, do you stop and file a police report, or do you just walk away?
I'm only making a point about his sketchy facts and his framing. Don't put words in my mouth.
@BalticDanny@Twee_Papillon@the_antz_nest Kitaip tariant mes jau pasiekėm tokį lygį, kur patys nebenorim dirbt "paprastų" darbų ir žiūrint į demografiją, nelabai ir bus kam žiūrint į ateitį.
@the_antz_nest@Twee_Papillon@BalticDanny I've personally experienced being discriminated against as an immigrant - I know what it's like from both sides. Not to say that we don't have an immigration policy issues that is poorly designed. I'm just arguing against this inflamatory BS that is not supported by facts.
@BalticDanny@Twee_Papillon@the_antz_nest Masažuoji masažuoji tuos skaičius, bet pritempt prie savo istorijos sunku visvien. Suprasčiau, kad tavo top 3 yra apie % dalį šalyje išduodamų leidimų yra darbo pagrindu, bet tai vėlgi obuolių su apelsinais lyginimas.
Lithuanians executed in NKVD prisons. 1941 summer (after rebellion against occupation by USSR).
Later on this turned into a full blown war between around 20 000 Lituanian armed forces and Red Army. Most of the freedom fighters were killed by year 1953.
