This has led to the decline of the natural birth rate. somcthing about which even the Lithuanian Soviet demographers are alarmed. 6. Although we do not consider our nation superior to the Russian nation. under the present conditions certain segments of the Russian colonists demoralize our nation. The immigrants are as a rule people of a low moral profile. motivated by material gain. not excluding the criminal element. 7. The Russian colonists. many of whom come from the Siberian vastness. bring a lack of respect for nature. The devastated woods of our suburbs is their handiwork. Once they get into the leading position. the colonists recklessly decimate Lithuanias forests. pollute the waters. etc. 8. Russian immigrants occupy the socalled "command positions" in Lithuania. They have taken almost complete control of the railroads. of the war industry. and of the system of communications. Under the pretext of job shortage.
