On this day*, the Soviet Union started deporting Lithuanian children to Siberia. The first 5000 were deported 81 years ago. Between 1941-1953 there were 40 000 of them.

  2. Soviet deportations from Lithuania were a series of 35[[1]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_deportations_from_Lithuania#cite_note-1) mass [deportations](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deportation) carried out in [Lithuania](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuania), a country that was occupied as a [constituent socialist republic](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithuanian_Soviet_Socialist_Republic) of the [Soviet Union](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union), in 1941 and 1945–1952. At least 130,000 people, 70% of them women and children,[[2]](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_deportations_from_Lithuania#cite_note-2) were forcibly transported to labor camps and other [forced settlements](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_settlements_in_the_Soviet_Union) in remote parts of the Soviet Union.

    Lithuania observes the annual Mourning and Hope Day on June 14 in memory of those deported.

  4. It’s happening again in Ukraine. Thousands of children are being taken from their families and go to filtration camps, where RuSSians hold, torture and rape them.

    And we still squabble over sanctions to have lower gas prices.

  7. I am really curious if there is a similar trend in Lithuania, like in the case of Romania, where quite a sizable minority adores Russia and Putin and would love their country to be the same.

    For example, albeit small minority, which is growing nonetheless, is in love with Russia and Putin, saying that Russia is the last bastion of morality, the West is in full decay and if we don’t ally with Russia, the West will colonise us, steal our resources and “contaminate” our children with the LGBT propaganda.

    I have never understood why some of my fellow Romanians are in love with Russia so much after all the things they’ve done to us (such an example, similar to this post, being the deportation to Siberia of Romanians from Bessarabia).

  8. Communist crimes rival and probably surpass those of the Nazis but for some reason they don’t receive the same level if attention. Barbarians.

  9. And basically Russia is doing the very same with Ukrainian citizens and forcibly moving them to locations in Russia and making sure they live in Russia as Russians, they haven’t fucking changed their evil tactics one bit

    > Reports that thousands of citizens from the city of Mariupol have been forcibly deported to Russia in the past week have been condemned by world leaders and drawn comparisons to the gulag, prompting accusations of human rights violations from Ukrainian officials.
