It speaks volumes that at this point, the press could get into the Soviet Union and interview its soldiers during an operation. Try that just 10 years earlier?
Maybe you didn't mean it in a harmful way, but Lithuanians might be offended by your statement, as this wasn't the Soviet Union anymore (maybe that's why it was easier for the press to get in?). The whole point of this event was that Lithuania had been an independent nation for 10 months at that point, but Soviet troops were sent in, disregarding that independence.
@@aviatrix9258 I think the Soviet Union de jure ended on December 25, 1991. That's when all the republics legally gained independence, though in fact Lithuania might have controlled its own territory prior to that. Sorry if this is taken in a harmful way
@Сергей Владимирович Таборицкий He is still alive
@Сергей Владимирович Таборицкий Based💪
@Сергей Владимирович Таборицкий That referendum wasnt voted in Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania. The people there wanted independence and democracy. It was mainly voted in Russia, and, oh, surprise, russians voted to maintain the USSR, I mean they were the most important republic, why wouldnt they?
Cheers and respect for the bravest men and women of Lithuania.

That's pretty wild, I didn't even know that happened. My mom's side of the family is from lithunia, so this is really interesting to hear
So weird that a few years before my birthday the USSR was a thing.

Was the Nobel peace prize was revoked from Gorbachev?
Explainging:in january 1991 lithuania (where my parents are from)was trying to get Freedom from the russia/soviets so lithuanian civillans decided to leave but russia was pisses so they attacked(reason lithuania could t attack is because if your join the army you be put with the russians)but civillians fought back and rest in placebo to the 14 civillians who died and respect to the 140 civillians who got injured(the way the civillians died was from the tanks crushing them IT was gory and disgusting)
I am grateful to have been born with liberties like freedom of assembly and speech. Even though they are the most fundamental of rights in an enlightened nation, they are not to be taken for granted.

So pissed at how he said Vilnius he said it like vilneeuuuuus
If you think like this, you've heard nothing at this point. I've seen many ways where people couldn't even say Vilnius (you couldn't understand it at all), this pronunciation is pretty decent I think.
That's just how it is with different languages, we Lithuanians butcher foreign city names too.
Im pissed aswell
We live in Lithuania and we die for Lithuania

Biggest fuck up of the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachov. I am a fan of him, but this was way too much.
The more things change, the more things stays the same.
not sure what that means...but sure
bruh what
Not really
This is a movie reference
The lithuanians, which i am one myself, are a ethnicity that has faught for freedom for 100 years+, under brutal occupation of the more lucky russians that just so happend to get a chance to take down the ancient Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and now, these moments where their only chance since the Final Partition and the short-lived post-war nation. The people were going to fight to the end this time, and so they did. The struggle and pain was payed off in the end with the lithuanians finally gaining their rightful independance and their own nation, but unluckily they ended up in not such a good era for the people, prices are crazy high and still have fear of russian invasion, and thats what it is to be a lithuanian, and our struggle for our place in this obviously unfair world.
@Jotaro97 we won independence in 1918. russians had no right to invade a neutral country

The bravery of the Baltic peoples should never be forgotten. America must continue to be the arsenal of democracy. Never again should they have to live under Russian tyranny.
it almost happened in estonia
Reminds me 1990 Baku Azerbaijan
Reminds me of the ethnic cleansing of Armenians in Shahumyan region, which Gorbachev greenlit.
Thats where i live in Lithuania thats good country now from rusians (už LIETUVĄ vyrai!!
Is that why your population escaped the country? They ran away, now only nationalists live there, half your country moved to Scandinavia.

@@andriandrason1318 Baltic countries where I live since almost 10 years) should have good relations with Russia (NB. I'm not pro Russia as I'm very neutral). Just the endless bashing, all this russofobia is not only insane but silly. Stalin is died and the Russia today it's completely different then just 50 years ago. Not only but the weapons are completely different. Today weapons make a non sense an annection for such small stripe of land (around 200-300Km) as today they are weapons able to fly almost 2000 km with an incredible precision and this can be launched from U-boot as well. This was not the case 70 years ago. Of course it's remain the sad page with the deportation, but honestly it would be good if people can turn the page and look forward. Finally Hitler made much worst things then Stalin, but nobody today is blaming Germany anymore, even not Israel.
