      Rampant corruption, lack of middle class, chronism of elites in most governmental institutions, lack of justice, mobing culture at working places, laxed laws that benefits mostly the dishonest employers and salaries thst makes living almost impossible are share factors people are leaving. Laws passed by parliament are against any common sense : During COVID if they caught person not wearing a mask they fined individuals 500€, but grocery stores that been relabelling food that has expired dates poisoning people as a company gets 30€ fine 2nd time same year… 70€. Employer can just refuse you to pay your salary and good luck getting ur money. To file a lawsuit costs big money and it might take years to get a verdict. While he just files a bankrupcy of a company and opens up a new one on his wifes name or whatever. You got debt collectors after you snd nobody cares that you worked 6 months and got paid for only 1. I left Lithuania many years ago and it was a best decision in my life ☺️

      I'll stop ya right there, since your wrong on separate accounts and you forgot to mention that Jogaila, wasn't a grand duke, but a successor and he sold out his entire family to get slaughtered so he could wear a crown and marry a 13 year old … oh and after that he spent 10 years fighting his Nephew who tried and reestablished Lithuania, by burning castles and harassing the Polish nobility …. fuck Jogaila… and the fact why people are emigrating, it's not some scarry hill that no one gives a damn about or the 12 forts around a city or any of that, Lithuania is simply one of the poorest European Economies, with jobs projecting the payed income as pretax to falsely statements to the EU, Lithuania has no national product or anything to provide income to the region and the usual income of a person is around 1200 Euros a month, before tax and that's if their lucky and haven't ended up with a job that payes less then a 1000 Euros a month, plus the medical bills and other shit, it is simply unreasonable for anyone bellow the age of 30 to remain in a country that they have no hope of surviving in…

      Thank you. This is so fascinating. I live in UK – was born in UK (in 1965) to German mum and my English dad. Sadly, my mum died this year. I knew her parents (my grandparents) had been born in Prussia. I have recently taken DNA test and I am OVER 50% from Western Lithuania. I am now fascinated with this beautiful country and want to know as much as I can about it x

      Lithuanian is most conservative of indo european language branch not oldest , all indo european languages are same age none pops out of nowhere suddenly , they all evolved from the single point

      היינו שם כבר כמה פעמים, המקור שלנו משם , בכפרים בעיירות ובערים יש המון מקומות שאנחנו היהודים היינו הרוב…. ההפסד כולו שלכם…הארץ אכן יפה, הירוק מלבב, מים בשפע , אבל הזכרונות שלנו….

      My father's side of my family are from Lithuania. My father's family emigrated from Lithuania-Russia to Pennsylvania; USA in 1903. The tsar was at war with Japan and my great-grandfather did not want to get conscripted into the military. We have a copy of his citizenship paper whereby he renounces any allegiance to all foreign powers, princes, and potentates.

      There is no information that Lithuania is an extremely nationalist state that does not respect the rights of the Polish national minority, including the right to learn the minority's native language.

      I'm 1/2 Lithuanian on my mothers side. She was one of the Nazis slaves surviving 4 years while her older sister was sent to a gulag along with her daughter and husband because they told the language and culture of Lithuania. She never returned as she'd have been seen a an enemy of the USSR and executed. Best I could do was take her on virtual trips via the internet.
