Legalisation of Russia
More and more often we hear about the Vatican's Vaticans, the Ukrainian men who are "uklonists", the locals or Poles who are against Ukraine. There are many narratives of all kinds about everyone except the "good Russians", although there are thousands of them in Lithuania. Migrants from the aggressor country are just walking around with their "hearts" in their fingers, just building altars to Navalny on the monuments of our political prisoners, burning candles and shining lanterns [...]
Public question to the Lithuanian Police
Is it only this article that is completely invalid in Lithuania? 170-2 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Lithuania Whoever publicly supported, denied or grossly disparaged genocide or other crimes against humanity or war crimes recognised by the legislation of the Republic of Lithuania or the European Union or by the final judgments of the Republic of Lithuania or international courts, if this was done in a threatening, abusive or insulting manner or [...]
Valdas Bartkevičius. Post Christmas. Russification and its consequences
On the first day of Christmas, a post about a Russian child of political emigrants being „shot“ went viral on Facebook. In the information vacuum of Christmas, the message spread widely and, hopefully, thanks to it, we will finally start a debate on the closure of Russian-speaking schools.

I have also heard the opinion of Polish border guards on this issue, so it will be easier for me to explain why the Poles are blocking not only those entering the European Union, but also those returning home. The blockade of Ukrainian trucks benefits only one player: the Kremlin. Doubts [...]
Experts
On a quiet Sunday evening, while reading the uninteresting weekend press, occasionally discussing the subtleties of food production with friends, I saw this article on LRT: „US foreign policy expert: we are at a turning point“, so I read it and comment on it. „This publication is the work of LRT.lt's partner Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty (RFE / [...]
Wedding planners
First news on Monday and I hear about yet another plan. This time it is presented by Kęstutis Budrys, advisor to the President. Another such plan will be (or has been?) presented by the Government to the Parliament. Both of them are about national defence. They are full of big words, planned funding, and a discussion of the involvement of NGOs and local governments. Among the NGOs mentioned is the Red Cross. What have I heard from myself or my [...]
