julius is the capital of you if you wait in the city changed hands many times during the twentieth century after world war one the poles were in charge then during the second world war nazi germany took control when the soviet army drove the fascists out of the baltics the city became if you a nice competent once again of the country join the soviet union. they like saying in russia we liberated the lithuanian people from nazi germany at the go so that i add the following yes you did but you didn't bother to leave afterwards did we. get that when perestroika got underway in the late one nine hundred eighty s. if you are a neo was one of the first soviet republics to demand independence. was for as we are concerned though uses the capital notes moscow has the way as has been an island will it be in the future. the confrontation between the soviet empire is weakening center of the rebellious baltic republic resulted in street clashes.

fourteen people were crushed by tanks hundreds wounded. that the town came to hold when my leg was called between the caterpillar tracks i realized then that there was no escape other than death. if you a new one its independence in one thousand nine hundred one small boats like republic then desperately tried to join european structures and leave it soviet past behind as fast as possible. if you any in business some of the you must know now scots lives in the village a group has one hundred twenty kilometers from vilnius he runs a nuke. business selling the mushrooms and berries that grow on his land but another source of income is also his hobby. if you walk around the whole park

you'll cover two colors the park contains one hundred thirteen different open air sculptures. in soviet times the sculptures held pride of place and if you any in cities and towns. after the fall of the soviet union they were taken down and fell into neglect. that prompted the humans to set up a park dedicated to let you and his son teach history. this open air museum welcomes visitors only iran and there's no shortage of them into. foreigners and lithuanian tonight come 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

. they are encouraging weighed down very heavily on the soviet union and the outside world knew little about this country. in one thousand nine hundred 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 that you are a new statehood. first the speaker said emotional words apart freedom then the phrase began singing literally as anthem many people had tears in their eyes they couldn't sing along purpose they were so overcome with emotion they saw that something was indeed changing they felt they could no speak up with hired. fear. moscow sold the developments in this way here as

a slap in the face tanks and special forces were sent to the list. the kremlin felt that flexing its muscles would be enough to compel the gulf senate republican to backing down. and this was i will tell me we told him we had no right to rejoin the soviet union we have not been elected to do dots you think. a massacre followed. the television center in vilnius was assaulted on the night of january fourteenth challenging. the building the seats within a short time as you and his independent television. i know most. of you know where being attacked. i can hear shots from all science and they have seized the earth when his radio

center. lot later is an anchor for a state run t.v. channel but live report was a moment of triumph for the young journalist but a moment of glory came with a price. i knew that they used accents were to break the dogs if these patch has been left here as a reminder of those events. that night fountains 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 it 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 here i thought that i had been able to get away from that sound after all and that very

movement my leg was caught between the caterpillar tracks and the sound came to hold at the end yet. now the former bookkeeper has to use a wheelchair and receives a disability grant i need the freedom was with that sacrifice and i have no regrets i believe it's my destiny it would be my might have. fourteen residents of vilnius died sacrificing their lives from if you and his independence in one thousand nine hundred one. the states government launched a vigorous campaign against the soviet legacy a mobile school gym but equated soviet symbols to nazi ones. nowadays may even knife a date marked by soviet republics for the victory of a fascist germany is seen as just another ordinary day by most look you any of us developed in lithuania made

a name for it is no occasion for festivities yes some people here did fight for the out way has nothing to do with it russian politicians sometimes say we liberated the lithuanian people from nazi germany by 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 veterans used to march through central vilnius on victory day but now they can only mark that holiday at a military cemetery. yes there you heard government has created an atmosphere where war veterans are called occupiers. the current propaganda slant is the cliff hearing it was all kept by a second time in one nine hundred forty four when soviet troops entered the country to drive the germans i. know that young people have been brainwashed into believing

that war veterans are ok pires trends don't feel like demonstrating in the streets you. may have a month twenty ten. each of the fifteen veterans here for the sake of victory in the. 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. supply comes from relatives holding flowers and colorful but. people with nationalistic slogans lined the streets but sometimes. i worry. 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 there and people

a lot of flowers up. but marching through the heart of the city promotes the wrong ideology the symbols are not the only things affected by the campaign against in the few anya's soviet legacy. this is you know the call december thirty first one thousand nine hundred eighty three ten so it's pm that was when the first power generating unit was officially links to the country's power grid. this footage is from the film marking the anniversary of the ignalina nuclear power plant. the station metals the electrical needs of the few a and to major in soviet republics. the two nuclear reactors commission the plans were more powerful than any of the reactors at the time and the same that this technological model inherited from the soviet union might stand a good stead after independence the country itself would have

a plentiful supply of electricity and also be able to sell a surplus of its premium. making for the supply still if the radio were cutting in those years because of an economic slump by this nuclear power plant provided of uninterrupted supplies of a waitress its customers in that they really are valorous i'm glad. less european consumers bought it's not the lowest prices we've pretty much built a delicious irony in economy during that period of transition in fact we paved the way for the country's further economic development. 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 quiet e.u. membership on the condition that it shuts down the egg million a nuclear power plant. and even received funds to help dismantle the plants

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 them join the e.u. . when i heard him say we are in the reactor room of the first unit nuclear fuel used to be stored underneath. 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. and the king will put 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 good newton were made redundant when the station was shut

down but there was no other work for them to go to so we were nice people working at the plants i enjoyed working there we still keep in touch with them. to certificates a photo album and 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. the allowance we were entitled to after decisions shouting was four hundred dollars with no four when the so-called crisis set in the summer 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 over you any it used 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 to slash their family budgets. but he got the readings yes put them down fifty to three hundred forty seven writes how about the water hot water is ninety cold water is eighty four thats it. that's quite a lot so i have to say since we have to pay five times as much as we delete when we were fine it's back in december two thousand and nine that. the former employees of the beginning of our plans will have to survive on their social welfare packages until they become pensioners unemployment is at over fifteen percent if you bring it officially twenty percent of its population lives in poverty according to your a staff if u.n. yet is one of the five poorest countries in the european union.

mornings today bolland says once again fled a few days are the images. from the streets of canada. giant corporations are today. a restitution role was passed and if you offer declared independence a collective farms were disbanded land was handed over to some of its former owners . and j. under its kev each received sixty hectares of land that used to belong to his father and jay's an engineer his wife is an accountant

they became famous against their will. a severe economic slump began off the list you a new 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. their farm could well cease to exist any time a sudden change in the weather might ruin the least some of the crops and produce 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 with. the government lost interest in large scale farming such as collective farms its policy in the early may to ninety's was entirely wrong

collective farms were braced to the ground. another process has been reversed in favor of large scale production that only large farms have real prospects. but to farmers in 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 writing's our banks were primarily concerned about experience banks in copenhagen were always low this is a tradition in lithuania was of secondary importance to them they started issuing loans and started exports 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. he's been working in germany to make a living meanwhile brother and elder sister live in this un near the top where is your daddy. you know daddy let's look for him. there is a picture of him here right well don i know nothing better than you do you know whenever she sees a man in the street the first thing she says is this is a man and in daddy. says that just in case the man responds. the try day off to work so gay visits an internet cafe in germany to speak to his

family by making a video call so that the questions we get at school are real mindblower it's ok 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 list which is joining the club of leading suppliers of manpower to western european countries. and now to something more to the point have you sent us the money. just to say yes ok that'll help they'll sign the rental rates. in january two thousand and nine thousand of protesters crowded the main squares of most provincial towns and if you wait here 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 struggled for survival. for example my pension is two hundred and forty dollars in winter extra money for heating my flat . if i were to pay for it and fuel i'd have to pay forty dollars over and above my pension. when. our 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 sixteenth to things like. this. meeting took place in vilnius near the parliament building. seven thousand people gathered. police used tear gas and rubber bullets to break up the

demonstrators. and when one of the bullets hit and to us in the leg it 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 it's got stuck in a song i can't see it as a souvenir of sorts. with. the police brutality and dealing with the demonstrators spurred the public into action . president a number of people joined the opposition within a short period of numerous protests rallies and demonstrations were held. one of them a government bowed to pressure to make some concessions several unpopular measures were canceled 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 so obviously a few ania 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 polygamous is 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. bloomer says playing with the idea of expanding his park. modern day exhibits may

soon be added to the collection. the trouble is this nobody yet knows who was and will become a symbol of this un his new era. mother
