I _will_ change this page. ANy Lithuanians here? I don't like "Poles started to take over many aspects of Lithuanian life" sentence. This is shameless lie.

I would also add that Poles were almost 70% of middle Lithuania population before WWII, and majority o the rest wer Jews and Belarussians. ]

O.K. I have forgot to write down some facts about Armija Krajova conducted genocide of Lithuanians, where many of Lithuanian families were murdered, including infants and elders, after the occupation of Vilnius Region. Of course, i understand, that Armija Krajova has shown courage against nazi occupants in Poland, so they are heroes for many people, but people have forgeten their shameful doings in Lithuania. If you need facts about polonization, i can give you - newspapers and books in Lithuanian were banned, and many people were forced to change their surnames to sound like Polish, to pretect themselves from discrimination - now we have some funny surnames in Vilnius Region and strange family geneology trees with dual surnames, where the ancestors have one family name, and the others have another, with the same family name root. Many Lithuanians were forced to move from Vilnius before WWII. Where do you live yourself to judge the history of Vilnius, szopen? And I think, this discussion is useless and even harmful - as it encourages tension between the nations. I still remember, that I was not able to ask time on street a few years ago at Polish people, if I would ask them in Lithuanian - things have got much better now, we have learned to live in peace. So, changing history in favour of _any_ nation is very bad practice, you know. ] So please, be wise, and do not forge history facts, despite they are not nice in the context of great Polish history.
