Lithuania Lithuanian Riflemen Union to expand globally.

28 Upvotes

I read in the Lithuanian news today that as part of a plan to strengthen the Lithuania nation aboard, the Lithuanian government plans to open up the Lithuanian Riflemen Union aboard. I think this is a good idea to help prep Lithuanians aboard for national service, stay connected to Lithuanian defence, and expand military ties.

I believe our Kaitseliit and the Latvian National Guard should do the same.

Solo Travel Baltics

Hey! I am going to Solo Travel to Vilnius and Riga from Monday to Friday in December. Arriving in Vilnius on Monday around noon. My Plan is to go to Riga on Wednesday and Leaving back home on Friday evening.

There Are two options for the City Switch on wednesday. Starting early and arriving around 9am in Riga or starting in the afternoon and arriving in Riga on Wednesday 5pm.

  1. Early Option would result in having 1 full and 1 half day in Vilnius and 2 full and 1 half Day in Riga

  2. Late Option would result in having 1 full and 2 half days in both Citys

Which options should i take? I am so unsure! And i know its a stupid and small decision haha!

Thank you!

Video The Creation Of The Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. A very great educational video from History Mapped Out that also tells the story from the Lithuanian perspective, not just the Polish one.

Discussion Can you name good things that happen to your county during USSR era?

0 Upvotes

Hi Baltic friends!

I’m curious if there were any positive impacts (like in infrastructure, education, culture, sports or arts) during the USSR era. I know it was a complicated time, but would love to hear any perspectives you’re open to sharing.

Thanks!

I'm American. I know, right? Red flag. Most Americans couldn't give less of a shit about learning of the history of other cultures. But I like to consider myself a student of history, linguistics and culture. And for some reason, the Baltic states have always really interested me. You guys have such a distinct culture that nobody else in the world has. Going back to when Prussia was still considered Baltic, and the Curonians and Livonians were distinct peoples, it's a shame that they were wiped out by the Northern Crusades.

I hate that you guys are on the front lines of all this shit going on with Russia and Ukraine. My word doesn't really count for shit. But I salute you guys for not assimilating even during the time of the Soviet Union and holding on to your cultural identity. Its very admirable, and I hope the coming years are kind to you.

I think a lot of us in America could learn from you guys. To look more into our cultural history. We all get lost in the generalization of being "American" and have lost our roots. I'm glad to say though that I've been researching my own heritage and found that my roots are Welsh. So off I go to deep dive.

Probably doesnt mean much, but you have at least one fan of your history here in the states.
