Lithuanians and Poles
here is a very interesting article about Lithuanians and Poles by Virginijus Savukynas (in Lithuanian). Assuming that the article is correct - it is amazing to me how the two nations were intertwined say 120 years ago as compared to now.
P.S.
1. here is a good article about Lithuanians and Poles from 15min.lt
2. Wikipedia provides is a sign similar to the one provided in the article. If one would translate it from Russian, it would read "Speaking Lithuanian Strictly Forbidden"

Mečys Laurinkus apie padėtį šalyje
Jo nuomonė buvo paskelbta Lrytas.lt. Noriu pateikti tik vieną citatą:
"Šiuo metu Lietuvos politinė valdžia, tiek pozicijoje, tiek opozicijoje yra problemiškiausia per visą atkurtos nepriklausomybės laikotarpį."
Pakankamai pasakyta.
P.S. čia R. Valatkos atkreipia dėmesį į ministrų amžių (ir laikotarpį kuriuo jie formavosi):
"Krepšinio aikštelėje uždustų po pirmų dviejų greitų atakų. Tik vienas ministras jaunesnis nei 40-ies, vienas – nei 50-ies. Kiti – perkopę penkiasdešimtmetį, tuoj švęs arba jau atšventė šešiadešimtąjį gimtadienį. Amžiaus vidurkis – 55-eri, o gali būti ir dar didesnis. Kai likusius tris ministrus paskirs. Atrodo, dar neturėjome tokio seno ir nuobodaus ministrų kabineto, kaip šis."

Napolenon's excursion into Russia
It's been 200 years since the Napoleon's army tried to invade Russia. There is an interesting map which shows how big the army was at selected points of the invasion.
As the map shows, Lithuanian cities were the last before the army started shrinking. In fact, Lithuania and Poland supported the French army because Russia was an enemy to them as well - and this was a direct consequence of the fall of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in 1795. This army was disbanded in Vilnius.
Here is a funny read from lrytas.lt about two Belgians who tried to repeat this trip on feet this year. Enjoy ;)
