In these 28 years of captivity the Russion invaders have tried every means at their disposal to break the morale and nationalistic spirit of Lithuanians. Through every possible channel the occupying force has tried to "russify" the population. Their efforts are concentrated especially on the young peoplethrough education. through deportation of some to Russia and importation of young Russians. through promotion of atheism and lowered moral standards. through making literature and art from prewar Lithuania unavailable. In these 28 years the cost of living has soared while the availability of goods and services has declined. Workers now put in many more hours to earn the necessities of life than they did before 1940 and with far less incentive.
