Since that day. for over two decades. Lithuania has been under Russian rule. During that time constant attempts have been made to wipe the countrys culture out entirely. The night Lithuania was occupied it is estimated that 30.000 of its people were deported to Siberia. Hundreds of thousands more deportations followed in subsequent years. Thousands of intellectuals were executed or deported and Russian settlers brought in in order to convert the Lithuanian civilization to Russian civilization. The Russians have also systematically oppressed the Lithuanian Catholic Church. The last bishop in a country that had once been overwhelmingly Catholic was placed under house arrest last year.
