Lithuanian President awarded 11 Ukrainians for “defense against Soviet troops”

77

The Presidential Palace in Vilnius hosted a solemn ceremony of rewarding the participants of the tragic events of January 1991 in the capital of Lithuania. Among 24 awarded there were 11 citizens of Ukraine. They received commemorative medals dedicated to the Day of Defenders of Freedom, which is celebrated in the republic on January 13.

Ukrainians received awards for protecting the Supreme Council of Lithuania and other facilities when they were stormed by the Soviet military, trying to restore constitutional order.



Among the awarded Ukrainians, most were fighters of a student volunteer squad. Among them were deputies, mainly from the People’s Movement of Ukraine. Later, some of these participants in the events in Lithuania were on the Ukrainian Maidan, and then went to "pacify" the Donbass as part of nationalist battalions.

For example, Odesa Yevgeny Diky, commander of Ukrainian volunteer students who went to Lithuania in 1991, later became a biologist and director of the National Antarctic Center. After the coup in 2014, he went to serve in the notorious Aidar volunteer punitive battalion (banned in the Russian Federation along with other extremist structures in Ukraine), where he actively showed himself and was even awarded the Order for Courage.

When awarded in Vilnius, he spoke the following words:

And in 1991, and now we, Ukrainians and Lithuanians, are fighting one war - this is a war for the right of nations to escape from the Russian “prison of peoples” and return to European civilization.

          Already happened. To regret or complain about what we did or did not do late. Let mark each other with tags of meanness ... time will pass, and these marked will be brought before the court to answer.
          Nobody needs the Baltic States for nothing, and in full force. Sorry for the Russian people living there. Putin in this respect sits chewing snot, instead of simplifying as much as possible both in time and in officials, obtaining Russian citizenship. And then there is a lot of idle talk, but not much to do.
          And for me, it would be necessary to stupidly catch these geeks and bring them to Moscow, so that they could tell us how they are fighting, fighting with us, etc. ... and do not give a damn about the cries of the UN about violation of rights. to scream.

              The question is not whether they will move to their homeland or not. Russia must finally learn to PROTECT ITS CITIZENS, regardless of where they live and are.

      The labor force can be given. But I have another question, why do you need these "rogue and freeloaders"?

      The boy was dashing, he sang Komsomol songs by the fire, wagged his tail in front of the party committee, licked boots from the hebeshnik, pounded on his classmates, and suddenly, in the blink of an eye, became a geyropets and a fighter for a brighter future. Nasty and nasty.

    Political "kindergarten". Where did this "European" see the "defense" from the Soviet troops?
    These "cadres" are making a career out of anti-Russian hysteria. There is no big trouble in this. The problem is that the Russian leadership does not impose personal sanctions against these clowns and their family members. Ust-Luga and the sprat embargo are not bad. But if this figure admitted that his masters could weaken, and alliances could change, he would be careful not to be rude at the official level.

    Is it not time for the Baltic states to begin rewarding Bandera, Petliurites and Adolfovites for resisting the Soviets?

    And in 1991, and now we, Ukrainians and Lithuanians, are fighting one war - this is a war for the right of nations to escape from the Russian “prison of peoples” and return to European civilization.
    They escaped, especially the former USSR. Europe accepted Lithuania, but they forgot about Ukraine, robbed it to the skin, and threw it in the trash. Jump in the pots brothers.

    I hope that the lists of the "awarded" are in the "authorities". It is necessary to destroy such miscarriages. Just as it is necessary to destroy animals sick with rabies. To avoid spreading the disease

    Before the "liberation" of Lithuania, M. Gorbachev could have returned the city of Vilna and the adjacent lands to Poland. To liberate "all the way" - if you would look at how European Poland would "reward" the "freedom fighters" (Forest Brothers).

    Well, not quite sure of the plausibility of the numbers. In the same Azerbaijan, half of Soviet oil was produced, and the numbers are miserable.

    Do you not remember how much then gasoline cost? Cheaper than the soda water, the drivers poured in the evenings, returning to the garage to fill up a full tank tomorrow. And at that price for gas, how much did oil cost? Really in dollars? And not a penny?
