- The Soviet Union military, under orders from Mikhail Gorbachev who had just won the Nobel Peace Prize, violently cracks down on the people of Soviet breakaway Republic of Lithuania. It was a deadly crackdown, swift with tanks crushing cars and people. Soldiers shot at Lithuanians calling for independence. Leaders around the world condemns Soviet moves.
Its been 30 years now. Glad to be Lithuanian.

Long live our friendship 🇫🇮❤️🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪
god bless the long lost baltic brother called finland 🇱🇹❤🇫🇮
God bless Finland 🇱🇹❤🇫🇮
Just came back to Holland after 6 weeks in the Baltics. Felt beautiful to be schooled (again) in what passion for freedom feels like. In Holland we take these things for granted, whilst the Baltics stand strong and sing (literally) with full force the importance of our European freedoms. ✊🇱🇹🇱🇻🇺🇦🇪🇪🇳🇱🇪🇺❤️
I will never forget in my life, when tanks started driving from North Town (now a very fun district in Vilnius) on Čarno Street, now Tuskulėnai Street, we children were playing in the yard, there were very few cars in those days (max 2 in the yard), a very nasty sound of caterpillars was heard on the asphalt, couple of min. and an armored car entered the yard, I don't even remember who told all the children to run home, it seems to me that everyone who could called the children. I remember that my grandfather was not at home, he was a surgeon, I remember that my grandmother was very worried about my uncle, who was already in a whirlwind of events, my parents were at work at that time, came back late, had dinner and left...thank God he came back
Thank you for sharing this to the world! I wasn't born yet buy my father was there and I'm very thankful for all the people who wasn't afraid to die that night.
IN MEMORIAM - 13.01.1991. From Lithuania With Love !!! One Love !!!
Algorithm's a bit late for the 30th anniversary :) Historic times for the Barricades in Latvia too 🇱🇻🇱🇹
the similarities to the current events in Belarus are frightening.
Lithuanian people should go help Belarussians, we are neighbours after all 😌
Very different, no army used in Belarus which is a independent country while in Lithuania army was used to keep Lithuania in Soviet Union as it was trying to gain independence.
@@ausriusdidziokas7979 what are talking about? the army was deployed in Minsk few days before the election. and they protected the dictator and Belarus remains dependent on the Moscow empire and they continue to speak mascovian language and soon oficially be part of russian federation. I hope it wont happen
nice recomendation, yt is kinda late for this .
Lithuania!!!!! all the way???? we love LT!
And Gorbachev received the Nobel Peace Prize for this! For murdering at least 13 people!!! If you or I murdered 13 people, I doubt we would receive anything but a life prison sentence.
Thank you! I remember those historical days.
Lithuania go!

1:57 hold up. Did they call Landsbergis a president?
probably due to the fact, that he was the head of state, and they didn't want to go into specifics.
1:57 President Landsbergis!
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)
it did not take a war to decrease population of Lithuania almost by half.
You're right, after the Soviets killed all their leaders and influencers and then they killed their economy it took a long time to recover. So some peopje were put in difficult positions in Lithuania.... and the Ukraine, Belarus, Latvia Estonia, Czech, Poland ... Wherever a tank could roll. But they were invited. So it's all ok. And the propoganda's still rolling out of where the tanks did too unfortunately.
@@pal6636 don’t make me laugh. sound like bunch of made-up excuse.
Which one?
@@forsic1 You must be a soviet troll coming on here for an event like this .
I'm not sure if you see the irony though. You're trying to have a battle of brains with Lithuanians . But this time the Soviet is unarmed. Have a great day comrade ;)
Fisrt of all, the population decrease from 3.7 to 2.7 millions is 28% which is alot, but can hardly be called "almost a half". Secondly, and most importantly, when we talk about fight against represion, ocupation, fight for freedom and liberties, we talk about the basis of moral values that we do not negotiate about. This is the difference with your narrative (which is popular in modern russia as it was in ussr) - you can always find arguments or bad examples (such as your comment ), but it does not deny or compete with values that these people were fighting for and managed to stand for. And if you are moral person, any fact of economic stagnation in the begining of independence (yes we now live as good as never before in our history, and we have growth of population again) do not deny the harm ussr did by illegal and amoral actions against the free will of lithuanians through all years of brutal and illegal ocupation.
Литва исчезает с момента своего отделения от СССР, уже почти 30 лет.
Правительству Литвы абсолютно наплевать на то, что народ стремительно вымирает, молодёжь бежит из этой никому не нужной страны.И вообще, о никакой независимости речи и быть не может, её просто НЕТ!
Well at least they are not being deported and murdered by ocupants :) Huge emigration was caused mostly by economic stagnation, which was natural for freshly independant country. As lithuanian living in Lithuania I can say that we care about our peole and the wealth of our country, and YES- we have problems, as all countries have and we gradually solve them - we are fine with it. Most importantly, we have the freedom of choice, speech, press, we are part of European family, fast growing economy and so on. The rest of your sentence, has no base at all. By the way, I can bring you some facts: Russia sucks now in level of liberties, freedom of speech, press freedom, level of democracy and despite all natural resources that you have, your GDP PPP is very low as well as general Quality Of Life Index nicely lying at the bottom in the list of all European countries. So I wish you all the best in solving your problems.
Aндрей дурачок,тебе пора к врачу!😉
watch whats happening in your shithole country putin sending young men to their deaths for no reason at least we are free and you still are a slaves living in illusion
люди не исчезают. люди глобализируются. что невозможно в России.
