This was in direct violation of the treaty of 1926. This was in direct violation of all treatiesthe peace pact. the nonaggression pact. and the mutual assistance pact with Russia with a guarantee of Lithuanian independence and of Russian noninterference in the domestic. social. and economic order of that countrya treaty which is still in force between Lithuania and Soviet Russia. Since that dark day of June in 1940. literally hundreds of thousands of innocent men. women. and children have been either brutally deported to Soviet labor camps or have been annihilated. The population of Lithuania. through these inhuman methods. has been reduced from around 3.000.000 to half of that number. Lithuanian statehood dates back to the year 1200 A.
