Русскоязычные 35 лет в независимой Литве: «с литовцами или с Советами?»

Thirty-five years of independent, self-governing Lithuania—how much did Russian-speakers understand Sajudis, given that only a few non-Lithuanians were at the core of the independence movement? Who were the Russian-speakers who followed Sajudis? When did Russian-speakers in Lithuania begin to isolate themselves and ideologically orient themselves toward Moscow? After 35 years in the country, are they relocated? Why do Russian-speakers say things like "Lithuania is a swamp" and "Lithuanians are fascists"? Why does Lithuania need Russian-language schools after 35 years of independence? If they distinguish themselves in this way, then "what is your mission?" (Lithuanians ask)? Lithuanian journalist Nina Matskevich and translator and poet Georgy Efremov discuss this with Vilnys. NB! Here, "Russian-speakers" refers to those for whom Russian is the language of communication at home. ⸻ "—And you, Saint Juozapas, are you with the Lithuanians or the Soviets?" —And I'm with my woman, is that bad policy?"
