The end of World War II found the unhappy people of Lithuania once again in the grip of Soviet imperialism. devastated by the war and the harsh oppression of occupation. The Russification policy which had been practiced by the Tzars. was once more put into effect. Lithuania was to become another Russian satellite. Thousands were deported. countless murdered without cause or reason. Many more fled in search of a haven. as the early Lithuanians had done centuries before. in the hopes of carrying on their fight from outside the country. Those that remained. continued the struggle so well known to the people of Lithuania.
