Back in the day, Lithuania used to be a largest nation in Europe.
They still remember those days.
And the great victories resisting foreign invaders.
But empires don't last forever.
Causing debates to this day.
That are better not brought up.
Then Soviet Union happened.
It didn't go well.
But there weren't easy solutions when Stalin and Hitler had decided to divided the Europe with their Molotow-Ribbentrop pact.
Salomėja Nėris was a poet who fell in Love with Stalin.
She wrote a book about him.
And is still fondly remembered for it.
Lithuania regained their independce in 1991.
And there is hope for the nation.
As long as you remember healhty caution towards the eastern neighbourgh.
And her vassals.

I heard that wiseman told king that when he will reach black see, he will find mountains of gold. Of course there was no gold. So king...

Fun dump. Unless you're Russian.

Is Russia still bitter over the time of troubles, or is it just pure expansionism?
IamMadeOfShamrocks
Let me just ask... "HEY RUSSIA!......"

My Jewish grandfather left Lithuania in 192? & came to Mississippi (proving absolutely anywhere was a better place to be than Lithuania).

As a neighboring Latvian, I approve of this post. Love or Lithuanian brothers. Last of the Baltic tribes. (Estonia is a Baltic state)

Lithuania was a half part of Republic with Poland, but Vilnius was Polish - from Vilnius was Adam Mickiewicz. Lviv on Ukraine was Polish too

Death camps were also Polish

I regret that we did not kill all jews. But its time to killing muslims :)
VergilVanTroff
Lithuanians are still so butthurt that they oppress Polish minority. Yet Polish F-16s protect their sky from Russia. Ungrateful fucks.

Štai tau, ponuli, ilgesnis sakinys lietuvių kalba, kuriame nėra ne vieno žodžio, turinčio galunę "as". But ok. Visit us again.

Awesome Post OP! There was a small group of Lithuanians at my school after EU-2004, and what struck me was their genuine friendliness
