What do they write here
suicide notes, mostly
>>25354501Russophobic diatribes about how awful it was that the Soviets came and left hospitals and schools in their wake.The Lithuanians also write self-serving histories where they pretend they weren't the junior partner in the PLC.Meanwhile Estonians will write encyclopedias "proving" that they are Nordic rather than Baltic. An amusing bunch really, just don't take them seriously.
>>25354501As a Lithuanian, I can say that I know nothing about Latvian and Estonian literature. Classical Lithuanian literature mostly focuses on rural themes. As some of the better works, I can highlight Putin's In the Shadow of the Altars (Altorių šešėly), which tells the story of a young priest torn between the path of a priest and a poet, and Kazys Boruta's Baltaragis's Windmill (Baltaragio malūnas), a work with a Faustian motif
>>25354501Suffer >>25354513Kill yourself communist nigger, the soviets nearly exterminated their cultures
>>25354513When did Lithuanians claim that they were not younger brothers in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth? This is a widely known fact in Lithuania, as is the Polonization carried out by the estate and the Catholic Church at that time, which is why many Lithuanian nationalists dislike this period and idealize pagan Lithuania.
>>25354526If it wasn't for the Red Army Balts would have been genocided to the last man by the Nazis.Curious how you are so ungrateful towards your liberators while not displaying the same animosity towards the Germans, who actually did succeed in genociding your ancestors the Old Prussians in the Baltic Crusades, occupying your lands thanks to the Ostsiedlung and dominating the economies of your port cities through the Hanseatic League.

Thank you, there is no need for such people anymore. As for the Germans, there was a war with them when they wanted to impose Catholicism. But after the eternal peace treaties were signed in 1435, they adhered to this treaty for 500 years, unlike the Russians who broke all the treaties signed in 1940 in which they pledged to respect sovereignty. You just have to remember what the Russians did in Lithuania in the middle of the 17th century, how many people they killed, how they banned the Lithuanian language at the end of the 19th century, to understand why Lithuanians hate the Russian-Jewish clan.
>>25354513>Russophobic diatribestbf thats fair since they have a scary amount of Russians there. I would also be russiaphobic when there is a not insignificant chance for a ukraine situation to happen.

>>25354539I'm not Baltic you retard dungeater>Balts would have been genocided to the last man by the NazisAfter so many of them fought for the waffen SS and Goethe basedjaking over Lithuanian? Unlikely. And some areas were genocided and then colonized by the Soviets, Latvia is bursting with the descendents of them to this day. In all dimensions the Soviet Union was worse than the Nazis were.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktors_EglītisDecadent poet going from symbolism to modernism to return-to-order to paganism and nazi sympathizing. Anyone read him?
>>25354579NoAlso reading translates poetry is kind of retarded
>>25354582He also wrote fiction. Don't think he's been translated though
>>25354551>Liberators who occupied, exiled and killed, and ordered to worship Jews and Russians.>to understand why Lithuanians hate the Russian-Jewish clan.I get it know, you're a terminally online chud who believes in the Judeo-Bolshevism conspiracy theory. In reality the Soviets never imposed any Jew or Russian worship in the territories they liberated. In fact the USSR was quite antisemitic, with Stalin purging all the Jewish members of the Old Bolsheviks and his successors cutting diplomatic ties with Israel. Do I really have to remind which superpower sent billions of dollars worth of aid to Israel every year since the end of the Yom Kippur War and which superpower funded its Arab enemies during the Cold War?>You just have to remember what the Russians did in Lithuania in the middle of the 17th century, how many people they killedI'm assuming you're referring to the Deluge. You're conveniently forgetting that the main aggressors were the Swedes and as for the Russians their participation was righteous revenge for the PLC opportunistically invading and occupying Russia during the Time of Troubles.>how they banned the Lithuanian language at the end of the 19th centuryThat was the work of the tsars, who, I agree, were imperialist scum. Shouldn't you be glad that the Soviets did a 180 on the tsars' policies then?
>>25354611>I get it know
>>25354513nasty cope
>>25354506Kek beat me to it
fpbp
>>25354525these are good worksI also like Salomėja Nėris but she is very controversial now
>>25354579Well I'd like to but there's no translations. It's so fucking annoying that so many works aren't translated.
>>25354513Swedes had already given them that.
>>25354611>In reality the Soviets never imposed any Jew or Russian worship in the territories they liberated. In fact the USSR was quite antisemitic, with Stalin purging all the Jewish members of the Old Bolsheviks and his successors cutting diplomatic ties with Israel.This is completely untrue. In fact, Stalin was very pro-Semitic, he banned anti-Semitism by law. I admit that during the Great Purge, the percentage of Jews in government circles was reduced, but it still remained disproportionately large everywhere. The Soviet Union itself supported and supplied weapons at the beginning of the creation of Israel. Only later did Stalin begin anti-Zionist campaigns.>I'm assuming you're referring to the Deluge. You're conveniently forgetting that the main aggressors were the Swedes and as for the Russians their participation was righteous revenge for the PLC opportunistically invading and occupying Russia during the Time of Troubles.Listen. I understand that history is complicated. The pure truth is that the PLC rulers and magnates really cynically took advantage of the internal crisis in Russia, supported the impostor (Dmitry), and the PLC army had occupied Moscow. For Russia, it was a national trauma. Politics, no matter what age, is a thing in which moral laws do not work, there are only interests, no matter what age. However, I cannot stand when people try to show that Russia was always right, although in fact it was the Russians who brought more losses to Lithuania than the Swedes. After the capture of Vilnius, mass massacres were organized. It is estimated that tens of thousands of people died. Vilnius burned for several days. The palaces of the rulers, churches, monasteries and houses of the population were completely plundered. The capital was so devastated that it could not recover after this event for many decades. Due to hostilities, famine and epidemics (especially the plague): Lithuania lost from a third to a half of its entire population.>That was the work of the tsars, who, I agree, were imperialist scum. Shouldn't you be glad that the Soviets did a 180 on the tsars' policies then?Never. Better dead than red.
>>25354501I hope none of the retards in this thread are from the region, becouse they did shit job at introducing their literature. Here are some interesting pieces translated into english that I found, luckily for me there are somehow much more translated baltic books into my language than english.So here are someof the interesting finds I found.Contemporary:>Undinė Radzevičiūtė - Fishes and Dragons>A sharp, imaginative novel that interweaves the lives of a present-day Lithuanian family with the story of an eighteenth-century Jesuit missionary in China. Moving between domestic tensions, cultural misunderstandings, and historical ambition, Fishes and Dragons explores how people try to make sense of unfamiliar worlds—and of one another.2nd half of 20th century:>Jaan Kross - The Czar's Madman>Set in nineteenth-century imperial Russia, The Czar’s Madman follows Timotheus von Bock, an idealistic nobleman imprisoned after daring to challenge the autocratic rule of Tsar Alexander I. Told through the eyes of his brother-in-law, the novel is a gripping portrait of conscience, loyalty, madness, and the cost of speaking truth to power.1st half of 20th century:>A. H. Tammsaare - Truth and Justice pentalogy>A sweeping Estonian family saga that follows several generations from the late imperial era into independence. At its heart are the harsh demands of rural life, the conflict between moral ideals and everyday survival, and one family’s search for meaning in a changing society.>The Fisherman’s Son>Set in a Latvian coastal village in the 1920s and 1930s, this social novel portrays fishermen struggling with poverty, debt, exploitative buyers, and the dangers of the sea. Through the ambitions of a young fisherman, it explores independence, solidarity, and the pressures dividing a close-knit community.>Whitehorn’s Windmill>A lyrical Lithuanian folk novel in which a miller tries to secure a future for his daughter, Jurga, amid rival suitors, village gossip, Catholic authority, and a devilish curse. By turns comic, romantic, fantastical, and tragic, it draws deeply on Lithuanian oral storytelling and pagan mythology.>>25354513Kill yourself.
>>25354513The Russians imposed a broken economic and political system onto our countries and distanced us from the splendorous light of the West. Any schools or hospitals built in the USSR would have been built -- and built better -- outside of it. It's the opportunity cost we're mad about. Being forcibly engrafted onto the Russkiy Mir is, I can say without exaggeration, one of the worst things that can happen to any nation. All of the Baltic countries experienced massive economic growth once Russia left us -- growth that even post-Communist Russia under its perpetual authoritarianism is unable to replicate (witness the GDP per capita figures). You're acting like a coloniser dealing with an inferior nation, but that's not the dynamic. You didn't conquer us because the average Russian outranks us, like the average Brit outranks the average Indian or Zimbabwean. You conquered us because there are more of you.>>25354539Having read a lot about Hitler I think it's clear he saw Eastern Europeans as a racially inferior enemy and wished to revive the medieval tradition of German crusading into the East. So his ideology was undoubtedly a threat to Lithuania. However I don't think it's a bygone conclusion that German rule would have been worse for us than Russian rule. Both options were bad, but my gut tells me the Germans would not have held back our development as much.As for why we don't hate Germany as much as Russia despite our medieval conflicts: 2 reasons.1. It doesn't matter what happened in history. In WW1, Italy, Romania, and Japan fought for the allies against the central powers. In WW2, Italy, Romania, and Japan allied with the Germans. Nations do whats in their interest moment to moment. This petty historical thinking doesn't matter, and the Russians' inability to stop being assblasted about history is precisely what's holding you back. Today we hold friendly relations with the Germans because we are allies working for a common cause. Germans today are forward looking and are able to forget these grievances of the past.2. A deeper point is that German culture truly is superior to Russian, or Slavic culture, in general. This is a sensitive topic for Eastern Europeans but there's a reason Germany is more economically advanced, there's a reason they don't live in rotting communist flats, there's a reason they have Mozart, Bach, Nietzsche, Kant, Schopenhauer, theres a reason Russian oligarchs send their sons to the West, there's a reason that Eastern Europeans go work in Germany and not vice versa. Hell, theres a reason the primary sources about Lithuania's early history are written by German crusader chroniclers, and not Lithuanians! Whether or not he was right to attribute it to a racial cause, Hitler was unironically correct about our inferiority on a cultural or civilisational level. The response to this isn't to be perpetually assblasted, it's to improve ourselves and our own countries. Pic related. Renovated commie block in Lithuania.

Anyways here is my fanfiction on why Lithuania would actually prosper under another Teutonic settler regime, because the first one just didnt kill enough litvaks in my opinion. (DEFINITELY NOT A RACE TRAITOR BTW)
>>25355867So what is the diffemrence.between west Slavic and German culture? Seems awfully similar.
>>25356679Demographic crisis was as a result of people leaving. They left because the country was impoverished by communism, and once communism ended, they were finally allowed to leave. This is one of the reasons I consider us an inferior culture, however, as instead of building the country up they left.
