fast as possible. if you any in business man the humans will announce because lives in the village a group has one hundred twenty kilometers from vilnius he runs a lucrative business selling the mushrooms and berries that grow on his land but another source of income is also his hobby. you know if you walk around the whole park you'll cover two color mothers the park contains one hundred thirteen different open air sculptures. in soviet times the sculptures held pride of place and if you end in cities and

towns. after the fall of the soviet union they were taken down and fell into neglect. that prompted the you must to sort of a cock dedicated to lift you ania's sunday of history. this open a museum welcomes business is already a rant and there's no shortage of them in the. foreigners and lithuanian tonight coming here to get a glimpse into the country's relatively recent past. here people learn something about socialism and what we went through in those times. the iron curtain weighed down very heavily on the soviet union the outside world knew little about this country. in one nine hundred ninety decided to split from the soviet union if you in his parliament led by the tout as landsburg is declared the republics independence thousands back to the decision rallies became

a constant feature in central vilnius with demonstrators demanding that moscow recognize this un to statehood. first the speaker said emotional words apart freedom. then the craze began singing literally years on from many people how to reason their eyes they couldn't sing along for this they were so overcome with emotion they saw that something was indeed changing they felt they could not speak up without fear. moscow saw all the developments in this way as a slap in the face tanks and special forces were sent to filmmakers. the kremlin felt that flexing its muscles would be enough to compel the gulps in the republic and to backing down. as. we told them we had no right to rejoin the soviet union we have not been

elected to do that you think. a massacre followed. the television center until news was assaulted on the night of january fourteenth catching. the building the seats within a short time as he waved his independent television. i know most of you know we had been attacked. i can see is shots thermal science they have seized the sweeney is raising the center. as an anchor for a state run t.v. channel. but live report was a moment of triumph for the young journalist but her moment of glory came with a price. i knew that they used accents to break the dogs to get these patches in that here is

a reminder of those events. that night thousands of people resolve to stop the troops by acting as a human shield. in order for moscow said the troops were to fire blank shells. and get the ability to was among the residents who protected the television center when the troops began firing and galileo was injured. yeah i think i managed to crawl away i thought that i had been able to get away from that town after all my own and at that very moment my leg was caught between the caterpillar tracks and the tank came to hold me at that now the former bookkeeper has to use a wheelchair and receives a disability grant i mean the freedom was worth at sacrifice i have no regrets and i believe it's my destiny that i would be my own.

fourteen residents of vilnius died sacrificing their lives for the few and his independence in one thousand nine hundred one. and you states' government launched a vigorous campaign against the soviet legacy a mold was built in that equated soviet symbols to nazi ones. nowadays made knife the date an art by soviet republics for the victory of a fascist germany is seen as just another ordinary day by most live you aliens. in lithuania may the ninth floor is no occasion for festivities yes some people here did fight for the. way it has nothing to do with it with russian politicians sometimes say we liberated the lithuanian people from nazi germany goodbye responses the following yes you did but then you didn't bother to leave afterwards the patient had given way to another. the fall if you

a new got its independence war veterans used to march through central vilnius on victory day but now they can only mouth their holiday to military cemetery. her government has created an atmosphere where war veterans are called occupiers. the current propaganda slant is that lithuania was all compiled a second time in one nine hundred forty four when soviet troops entered the country to try for germans i. know that young people have been brainwashed into believing that war veterans are ok pires the veterans don't feel like demonstrating in the streets yet. may the ninth twenty ten each of the fifteen veterans here for the sake of victory and not. despite each of them being over eighteen years old they've decided to march to the

city center just as they used to in the old days. a band of enthusiastic musicians accompany them as they marched through the streets most apparent comes from relatives holding flowers and colorful but. people with nationalistic slogans lined the streets some but sometimes. one floor as the war came to an end when the last soviet soldier left the country in one thousand nine hundred ninety three. those soviet veterans can mark their victory and commemorate fallen heroes at a cemetery their tombstones their people a lot of flowers at the. but marching through the heart of the city promotes the wrong ideology the symbols are not the only things affected by the campaign against the few anya's soviet legacy. this is you know the poll december thirty first one thousand nine hundred eighty three ten so it's pm and

midnight that was when the first power generating unit was officially linked to the country's power grid. this footage is from the film marking the anniversary of the eight million a nuclear power plant. the station metals the electrical needs of this u.a.e. and to major in soviet republics. the two nuclear reactors commission the plans for more powerful. than any other reactors of the time in the same that this technological model inherited from the soviet union might stand you in good stead after independence the country itself would have a plentiful supply of electricity and also be able to sell a surplus to others as a pretty. major. supply still etherial we're cutting in those years because of an economic slump but this nuclear power plants provided of uninterrupted supplies are barely tricity to customers in lithuania

bellary. hearing in consumers at the lowest prices we pretty much build a delivery and economy during that period of transition in fact we paved the way for the country's further economic development. of the. off the list you any left the u.s.s.r. it's all to join the european union. if you when you was told that it could acquire e.u. membership on the condition that it shuts down the big nearly no nuclear power plant . even received funds to help dismantle the plant's equipment and build storage for nuclear waste. the first reactor was closed in two thousand and four the other in two thousand and nine if you any of that join the e.u. . when. we were in the reactor room of the first unit nuclear fuel used to be sword underneath. but you don't know what it was used to generate heat and

electricity and. many of those who built the station and worked at it had to be trained in how to dismantle it. if you will but i did a turbine together with my own hands after it went into service my job was to maintain and repair it but in the past seven years i've been taking all that apart again with my own hands it's a pity creating something is much better if you ask me. you'd miller and valarie newton were made redundant when the station was shut down but there was no other work for them to go to. they were nice people working at the plants i enjoys working there we still keep in touch with them. to certificates a photo album and the film showing the jubilee celebrations and the only mementos from those years. the european union funded the station's closure some of the money

was earmarked for severance pay. for things like the allowance we were entitled to after decisions shocks are in was four hundred dollars for when the so-called crisis set in for some was cut to three hundred and fifteen dollars that's what we get paid not. the decommissioning of the power plant instantly led to higher utility costs overall if you any accused to sell electricity to other countries today it buys it from them energy bills grow with each passing month those who worked at the station of had to slash their family budgets. but he got the ratings yes put them down fifty two three hundred forty seven writes how about the water hot water is ninety cold water is eighty four that's it that's quite

a lot so i have to say still work we have to pay five times as much as we delete when we were fine it's back in december two thousand and nine it was. the former employees of the original mean a power plant will have to survive on their social welfare packages until they become pensioners unemployment is it over fifteen percent and if you're a new officially twenty percent of its population lives in poverty according to your are staffed if un yet is one of the five poorest countries in the european union. well come to the. what makes a big splash in the world of hi-tech business what turns in advance science into high gear cheap products they don't understand oh he'll which is get the follow

russian invaders to engineers abroad and their big breakthrough back home spotlight on start up on technology update here on on. we've got the future covered. if you're piled up on my desk you're one of the. country's on a sort of a throwback and i can't codified law. it goes back to a time when people would like out of their forces in the wild west and take f.e.c. today somebody mentioned the sheriff the prosecution don't think much company may well feel guilty. when they go out there pick up weapons. and have to hope that nothing bad can. get good. we're chasing killers thank you yeah keep that in mind how does it to me a dollar bill be suppressed. we're not superheroes we can be killed to you know the

head i'm going to die. and. was you hunted man you're never go back on anything else. last time the close of team was in the cool gun region where men flock from all over the world not a few centimeters to their self-confidence. if this time marty goes to the on the region. for the gold rush still gets people like joe. kerning should try flights to save its culture. where cranes are protected in the first on the fischel nature reserve. to the original. bush a close up on the r.c. . a restitution role was passed and if you a after

a declared independence collective farms we disbanded the land was handed over to some of its former i would as far ungendered skeptics received sixty x. as of land that used to belong to his father thought. and jay's an engineer his wife is an accountant they became fun as against their will. a severe economic slump began after lithuania declared independence unemployment had read its head for the first time in the post soviet region. we had to go into farming simply because we had no other source of income now i'm pretty certain our farm has no prospects. could well cease to exist at any time a sudden change in the weather might ruin a least some of the crops and reduce all of their efforts to nothing there's no scope for the farm to grow the reluctant farmers don't have the money to say for

a rainy day. most small farms here face a similar bleak situation where. the government lost interest in large scale farming such as collective farms its policy in the early one nine hundred ninety s. was entirely wrong collective farms were raised to the ground and now the process has been reversed in favor of large scale production of only large farms have real prospects. and the two farmers enjoyed very hard times during the two thousand and eight economic crisis and jay and his wife were on the brink of bankruptcy their farm survived only because they had been working on it without hired help they had also managed without bank loans. the influence of international capital in our banking sector amounts to nearly

ninety percent when the crisis came right into our viands were primarily concerned about experience banks in stockholm copenhagen or always low this intrusion was of secondary importance to them they stopped issuing loans and started exports in capital to help parents and banks of course all violence has an effect on the situation here. is two and a half years old but much of her life has passed without her father. he's been working in germany to make a living. meanwhile mother brother and elder sister live in with us. here paul where is your daddy. you know daddy let's look for him. there is a picture of him oh here. i know north america

you know whenever she sees a man in the street the first thing she says is mom this is a man and in daddy. she says that just in case the man responds. each friday off to work so gay visits an internet cafe in germany to speak to his family by making a video call. the questions we get at school are real mind blowers again you go with them yeah this five minutes of internet chatter keeps the family in contact until sergei can be with them for real again and that could be six months away. this is typical for. which is joining the club of leading suppliers of manpower to western european countries. and now to something more to the point he sent us the money. yesterday yes ok that will

help all deals are in the rattled agent. in january two thousand and nine thousand of protesters crowded the main squares of most provincial towns in lithuania as well as its capital since the start of the crisis the government has been raising taxes and cutting social benefits farmers found themselves on the verge of bankruptcy civil servants and retired people struggle for survival. for example my pension is two hundred and forty dollars in winter a basic extra money for heating my flat. if i were to pay for it in fuel i'd have to pay forty dollars over and above my pension. when her eunice learned about government plans to tax pensions on top of other taxes he decided to join protesters despite his age and poor health.

generally the sixty votes to think like. this. treating took place in vilnius near the parliament building. seven thousand people gathered. police used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up the demonstrators. when one of the bullets his answer nasser in the leg he was taken to an ambulance. to a we were the bullet for all sites when the cuts my trousers open it was a rubber bullets as it's got stuck in a song i can't see it as a souvenir of sorts. of. the police brutality in dealing with the demonstrators spurred the public into action. and unprecedented number of people joined the opposition within a short period of. numerous protests rallies and demonstrations were held.

one of the government bowed to pressure to make some concessions several unpopular measures were cancelled but the move deepened the budget deficit. and democrat democracy will set in only after several generations those who once had any idea of democracy have become soviet people in spirit you know so have all of our politicians. the founder and owner of the park featuring the history of soviet lithuania says he's lucky that he's lived in a free country for the past twenty years but he notes the growing nostalgia for the soviet period. mrs pessimistic about his country's future and he's skeptical about the government's political decisions. i don't think the european union will last for even fifty years but it will break up in the same way as the soviet union did

the two are very similar in that they have both been a complete mass you. feel you mrs plame with the idea of expanding his pocket modern day exhibits may soon be added to the collection. the trouble is this nobody yet knows who will last will become a symbol of this un his new era. wealthy british style.
