LRT EBU Lithuania KGB officer convicted
DOPESHEET
Kaunas Court gave a 5 year detention at penitentiary for former KGB officer Stanislovas Drelingas charged with murder of the Lithuanian anti-Soviet resistance commander Adolfas Ramanauskas Vanagas.
Stanislovas Drelingas, a former officer of Soviet repressive structures, was accused of participating in a secret operation in October, 1956 to detain one of the commanders of the Lithuanian anti-Soviet resistance movement and his wife Birutė Mažeikaitė-Vanda.
Following his detention, Ramanauskas was kept in a KGB prison in Vilnius and tortured for a year. He was sentenced to death by the Supreme Court of the Soviet Republic of Lithuania on 24-25 September 1957 and executed on 29 November in Vilnius.
A 84-year old convicted Drelingas did not arrive to listen a verdict as his advocate claimed he is sick. Drelingas did not recognize being guilty.
However, Kaunas court ruled that there are enough evidence to support Drelingas participation in a special operation, and since he was not a simple KGB officer, he must have known a real objective of operation as well.
Because of Drelingas age, court has decided to give him a minimum penalty - five year detention at penitentiary. It is possible to appeal this judgement.
Around 50,000 Lithuanians, the so-called forest brothers, took part in the anti-Soviet resistance movement in post-war Lithuania.

Archive, shots of Stanislov Dreling from the previous sitting
Soundbite (Lithuanian), VIDA KABECIENE, advocate of STANISLOVAS DRELINGAS:

[한국어 정보]
잔잔한 호수 위 나무를 덮고 잠든 듯한 성, 육백 년 전 세워진 트라카이 성은 중세 리투아니아의 통치자였던 대공이 거주하던 곳이다. 갈베 호수 위 세 개의 섬이 성을 품고 있고 3백 미터의 나무 다리는 성과 육지를 연결한다. 당시엔 호수의 수위가 지금보다 2미터 높았기 때문에 이런 통로는 모두 물에 잠겨 있었고 차가운 호수와 두터운 성벽에 둘러싸인 성은 좀처럼 침입하기 어려운 곳이었다. “이 요새는 십자군에 맞서 싸우기 위해 지은 거예요. 당시 십자군, 독일 기사단이 기독교 신앙을 전파한다는 핑계로 리투아니아를 자주 공격했거든요. 하지만 십자군이 이 성 안으로 들어간 적은 한 번도 없어요. 15세기에 이 성은 정말 튼튼한 성이었거든요. 동유럽에서 가장 견고한 요새 중의 하나였죠” 대공의 왕좌가 놓여 있는 가장 중요한 방에는 잘기리스 전투를 기념하는 그림이 걸려 있다. 리투아니아와 폴란드가 연합해 독일 십자군을 무찔렀던 중세의 자랑스러운 기억. 그런가하면 대공 부인의 침실에는 독일 십자군의 수호성인인 성모 마리아의 그림이 걸려 있다. 유럽의 마지막 이교도 국가가 가톨릭이 되던 혼돈의 시간이 담긴 호수. “뭐가 마음에 들어요?” “자연이요” “아름다워요?” “성이 마음에 드니? 산책하기 좋고, 아름다운 자연도 있죠. 사람들이 없을 때 오면 역사 속의 분위기를 느낄 수 있어서 더 좋아요” “10년, 20년을 살아도 늘 생각나고 되돌아가고 싶은 곳이 트라카이예요. 유난히 깨끗한 호수, 유난히 아름다운 분위기가 있죠. 가장 유명한 공작, 가장 유명한 백작, 많은 지식인들과 착하고 정직한 사람들이 트라카이에 살았던 건 우연이 아니었어요”

The sleepy castle on the calm lakes, the castle of Trakai built 600 years ago, was the site of the Grand Duchy, the ruler of medieval Lithuania. Three islands above the Galle Lake bear the castle and a 300-foot wooden bridge connects the castle and the land. At that time, the water level of the lake was two meters higher than it is now, so all of these aisles were submerged, and the castle surrounded by cold lakes and thick walls was hardly invaded. This fort was built to fight against the Crusades. At that time, the Crusaders, the Knights of Germany, frequently attacked Lithuania as an excuse to spread Christian faith. But the crusaders have never entered this castle. In the 15th century this castle was a very strong castle. It was one of the strongest fortresses in Eastern Europe. The most important room where the throne of the Grand Prix is located is a picture commemorating the Battle of Chagrin. The medieval proud memory of Lithuania and Poland allied to defeat the German crusade. On the other hand, a picture of the Virgin Mary, the patron saint of the German crusade, is hanging in the bedroom of Mrs. The last pagan nation in Europe was a Catholic lake with chaotic time. What do you like? Nature Is it beautiful? Do you like your surname? It is nice to walk, and there is beautiful nature. It's better to be able to feel the atmosphere in history when people do not exist. Ten years, twenty years, I always remember where I want to go back. There is an exceptionally clean lake, an exceptionally beautiful atmosphere. It was no coincidence that the most famous peacocks, the most famous Count, the many intellectuals, and the good and honest people lived in Trakai

Mėlyna ramiųjų ežerų pilis, Trakų pilis, pastatyta prieš 600 metų, buvo Didžiosios kunigaikštystės, viduramžių Lietuvos valdovo vieta. Trijų salų virš Galle ežero yra pilis ir 300 pėdų medinis tiltas jungia pilį ir žemę. Tuo metu ežero lygis buvo dviem metrais aukštesnis nei dabar, taigi visi šie praėjimai buvo panardinti, o pilis, apsupta šaltuoju ežeru ir storomis sienomis, vargu ar buvo įsiveržta. Šis fortas buvo pastatytas kovai su Kryžiaus žygiais. Tuo metu krikščionys, Vokietijos herojai, dažnai puolė Lietuvą kaip pasisekimą išpranašauti krikščioniškąjį tikėjimą. Tačiau kryžiuočiai niekada neįėjo į šią pilį. XV a. Ši pilis buvo labai stipri pilis. Tai buvo vienas iš stipriausių Rytų Europos tvirtovių. Svarbiausias kambarys, kuriame yra Grand Prix sostas, yra paveikslas, primenantis Chagrin mūšį. Viduramžiais didžiuojasi Lietuvos ir Lenkijos atmintis, susijusi su vokiečių kryžiaus kariuomenės nugalėjimu. Kita vertus, Mergelės Marijos, Vokietijos kryžiaus kariuomenės globėjo, paveikslėlis kabo Mrs. Paskutinė pagonių tauta Europoje buvo chaotiškas laikas katalikiškam ežerui. Ką jums patinka? Gamta Ar tai grazus? Ar jums patiko tavo pavardė? Malonu vaikščioti, ir yra graži gamta. Geriau jausti atmosferą istorijoje, kai žmonės neegzistuoja. Dešimt metų, dvidešimt metų aš visada prisimenu, kur noriu sugrįžti. Yra išskirtinai švarus ežeras, išskirtinai gražus atmosfera. Neatsitiktinai Trakuose gyveno garsiausi povai, garsiausias Grafas, daugelis intelektualų, geri ir sąžiningi žmonės

LRT EBU Lithuania commemorates 75 years of occupation and deportation
DOPESHEET
Lithuania marked day of Soviet occupation and deportations while a group of youth prepared for a mission to Siberia in order to repair graves of deportees.
The Soviet Union occupied Lithuania on June 15, in 1940 when the Red Army invaded the country. A year after on June 14 in 1941 Soviets started mass deportations of Lithuanian residents to Siberia who were called enemies of the people.
Based on the data of the Genocide and Resistance Research Center of Lithuania (LGGRTC) more than 280,000 people were deported from Lithuania in 1940–1953.
Lithuanians attending the commemorative events today observed a minute of silence. Deportees and their children shared their stories.
Lithuanian Parliament Seimas held a solemn commemoration and handed over a symbolic flag to the youth that every year travels to Siberia in order to repair graves of deportees and visit those who did not came back to Lithuania.
There were 12 youth expeditions so far that have rearranged and cleaned over 100 Lithuanian cemeteries. The Mission Siberia 2015 will start in the middle of July.
More on the mission:

Soundbite (Lithuanian), MARYTE SKUPIENE, former deportee:
I can see that this shelf is higher here, while in our train there were two stages above us. A girl was right above us. She was a year and a half age. And she fell down and we took her and she became my friend.
Soundbite (Lithuanian), VITALIJA LIMKIENE, former deportee:
In that village around 150 Lithuanians lived, many of them died from starvation. The conditions were harsh. I remember my mother exchanging golden ring into two pockets of potatoes, so she could save the family.
Soundbite (Lithuanian), PETRAS MUSTYKIS, former deportee:
I remember from Siberia that all affected people were very friendly, they supported each other very much, you know.

Soundbite (Lithuanian) GIEDRIUS TRADISAUSKAS, participant of Mission Siberia 2014:
Thousands of Lithuanian youth dream to bring a Lithuanian Labas (Hello) to those Lithuanian that are still in Siberia. I had this opportunity last summer to bring Labas to Lithuanians living in Krasnojarsk krai who did not hear this word for a long time.

Soundbite (Lithuanian) GIEDRIUS TRADISAUSKAS, participant of Mission Siberia 2014:
Those who participated in this project did see in their own eyes that starvation and slave work did not brake a spirit of Lithuanian nation. Most of the deportees did everything to come back home. And they did.

SUMMARY
=======
Lithuania ( (listen); Lithuanian: Lietuva [lʲɪɛtʊˈvɐ]), officially the Republic of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos Respublika), is a country in the Baltic region of northern-eastern Europe. Since its independence, Lithuania has been referred to as one of the Baltic states. It is situated along the southeastern shore of the Baltic Sea, to the east of Sweden and Denmark. It is bordered by Latvia to the north, Belarus to the east and south, Poland to the south, and Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) to the southwest. Lithuania has an estimated population of 2.8 million people as of 2017, and its capital and largest city is Vilnius. Other major cities are Kaunas and Klaipėda. Lithuanians are a Baltic people. The official language, Lithuanian, along with Latvian, is one of only two living languages in the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family.
For centuries, the southeastern shores of the Baltic Sea were inhabited by various Baltic tribes. In the 1230s, the Lithuanian lands were united by Mindaugas, the King of Lithuania, and the first unified Lithuanian state, the Kingdom of Lithuania, was created on 6 July 1253. During the 14th century, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the largest country in Europe; present-day Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, and parts of Poland and Russia were the territories of the Grand Duchy. With the Lublin Union of 1569, Lithuania and Poland formed a voluntary two-state union, the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Commonwealth lasted more than two centuries, until neighbouring countries systematically dismantled it from 1772 to 1795, with the Russian Empire annexing most of Lithuania's territory.
As World War I neared its end, Lithuania's Act of Independence was signed on 16 February 1918, declaring the founding of the modern Republic of Lithuania. In the midst of the Second World War, Lithuania was first occupied by the Soviet Union and then by Nazi Germany. As World War II neared its end and the Germans retreated, the Soviet Union reoccupied Lithuania. On 11 March 1990, a year before the formal dissolution of the Soviet Union, Lithuania became the first Baltic state to declare itself independent, resulting in the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania.
Lithuania is a member of the European Union, the Council of Europe, eurozone, Schengen Agreement, NATO and OECD. It is also a member of the Nordic Investment Bank, and part of Nordic-Baltic cooperation of Northern European countries. The United Nations Human Development Index lists Lithuania as a very high human development country.
Vilnius
Vilnius (Lithuanian pronunciation: [ˈvʲɪlʲnʲʊs] ( ); see also other names) is the capital of Lithuania, and its largest city, with a population of 539,939 (806,308 together with Vilnius County) as of 2014. Vilnius is located in the southeast part of Lithuania and is the second biggest city of the Baltic states.
Vilnius is the seat of the Vilnius city municipality and of the Vilnius district municipality. It is also the capital of Vilnius County. The first known written record of Vilnius as the Lithuanian capital is known from Gediminas' letters in 1323.
