Why I envy Valdas Bartkevičius

Silence cannot be punished. Living under the stress of being written to every day, of being asked to meet and threatened with violence against you and your family, of being told that they know where you live and will come, beat you up, shoot you, blow you up. Is it possible to be jealous of this? No. I experience it myself, albeit on a much smaller scale. But these couch knights are only scary on the internet, if you say that [...]

Tulip Aunts

A generation that has never seen war. Not grandmothers born in the war, who survived Siberia and exile, not representatives of the Lithuanian intelligentsia born in exile or in constant fear of persecution, but descendants of the Strybians and the partor, proving their truths in the social space.

Hello everyone, I'm a volonter and I'm of no interest to anyone

Let's start with the fact that all the cotton-wool shushara wrote and said to all of us who are helping the Ukrainians that we just want to get into power, that this is our pre-election convulsions. All possible elections, including the forthcoming parliamentary ones, are behind us. We did not win any. We did not participate. Not like some chairman of a collective farm who won them all. But he didn't want to join NATO either, and he opposed [...]

Volunteers.

Vilma Fiokla Kiure wrote - The word “volontior”, from the English “volunteer”. Certainly not from the Russian one, as some people think. In Ukraine it is used for volunteers. Since we work with Ukrainians, it stuck to us. So, who are our volunteers? I managed to talk to many of them, or at least exchange a word. They come from different professions, mostly small [...]
