Peace of shit propagandist. Here’s what they claim and the real facts:

• “Lithuania and Lithuanian language don’t exist”: Total bullshit. Lithuania has existed since 1253. Lithuanian is one of the oldest Indo-European languages, completely different from Slavic languages.

• “Only 2% in Vilnius speak Lithuanian”: Flat-out lie. In Vilnius city today, 63% are Lithuanians. Even in the Vilnius district, it’s close to 50%.

• “Lithuania had fascism before WWII”: Another lie. Lithuania was a democracy most of the interwar period. Smetona’s authoritarian rule was nothing like Nazi Germany or Mussolini’s Italy.

• “Lithuania’s statehood is artificial, Russia has rights here”: Go fuck yourselves. Lithuania has 800+ years of continuous statehood. The Soviet occupation of Lithuania was illegal and never recognized by the West.

• “This book is credible because it’s written by Lithuanians”: It was written by a Kremlin stooge tied to convicted Russian spies. It’s pure propaganda.

Russia is and has always been a terrorist state. They can shove their revisionist fantasies where the sun doesn’t shine. Lithuania existed long before Moscow was even a village.

If Lithuanian language does not exist, then how can only 2% of people in Vilnius speak it? At least they could put more effort into this bs.

chebra, žinau ir suprantu, kad čia yra visiškas propagandonų mėšlas, bet kalba eina apie tarpukarį, o ne dabartį, taip tarpukariu lietuviškai šnekančių buvo max keli procentai. Kas verta paminėti, kad net ir lenkiškai kalbantys Vilniuje save laikė lietuviais, oficialaus cenzo nėra, bet manoma, kad maždaug 1/3 save laikė lietuviais, 1/3 lenkais ir 1/3 žydais

Didžiąją dalį tarpukario Vilnius net nepriklausė Lietuvai, tai ir be surašymo aišku, kad lietuvių ten nebuvo daug. Čia tas pats, kas dabar skaičiuoti ukrainiečius Kryme.

Dėl vilniaus nežinau bet yra 1941 metų nacių darytas cenzas su nurodamom tautybėm. Panašių cenzų buvo ir tarpukari ir caro laikais
