| "There is a
marble memorial at the Vilnius transmission site taht is dedicated to
the unarmed victims who were killed by Russian troops while they
protected the TV tower and TV station in January 1991 during the
Lithuanian independence struggle. (The Russian troops tried to
take over the TV tower and station which was defended by large numbers
of unarmed Lithuanians who formed a circle around it, with no weapons
to defend themselves against the tanks, etc.) The Lithuanian television centre is at the same location as the TV tower. The base of the TV tower, which contains services, cafe and museum, etc. was closed at the time of my visit for reconstruction." |
