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 [...]

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.

Why is everything in Lithuania always done through the other end? Everybody gets together, expresses their opinion, makes promises, makes decisions.
