Lithuania’s president warns of Russia’s rising influence in east

If they would have needed to have google in front of them in order to now things like that, I wonder if the things that have been retained from the old educational system are indeed as good as you say

The educational system is better than in most post Soviet countries as far as I know. You can check the ratings, I couldn't be bothered looking for them.


In that case Lithuanians, who know the history of Vilnius's architecture well, are more educated than people in the neighbouring countries, as many residents of the neighbouring countries [I'm not talking about Belarus] would not be able to pin-point Lithuania on the map let alone know the name of its capital or the history of the capital's architecture.

The planning of old city was likely to be organised by local administration and built by local labour, while Lithuanians were the largest ethnical group in Vilnius between 50s-90s as our Lithuanian friends like to remind us.
