Mass deportations. executions. forcible collectivization of agriculture. nationalization of industry. general religious and cultural suppression in every formall instruments of Communist imperialismhave been employed by the Soviets during the years of their domination over Lithuania. Thus. by sheer force Lithuanians have become a part of the Soviet prisonhouse of nationalities. This 40th anniversary of Lithuanian independence calls the attention of the world to Soviet imperialism and colonialism at its worst.
