Vilkaviškis bus station is so much more than a terminus. Balčytis studija’s sweeping design is a landscape, civic hub, event space – even a tourist destination And while the use of concrete in a natural setting might seem counter-intuitive, Balčytis thinks this is only half of the argument. He did investigate the use of structural timber but claims that the building’s municipal use precluded that for fire reasons; and the concrete, he feels, is appropriately robust for the building’s practical purpose. updates and our weekly newsletter – all designed to bring you the best stories from RIBAJ.com This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page 2018 at 8:28 pm ET.css-79elbk{position:relative;}Justinas Cesnavicius of Croton on Hudson Cenavicius worked as a Property Manager for Mary Immaculate High School/St Lithunania to Antanas and Marija Cesnavicius He was educated in Vilkaviskis and served as a Sergeant in the Lithuania Army While working for a short while as a police officer he met and married the mayor’s daughter in Vilkaviskis Justinas lived in Croton on Hudson for the past 27 years Before that he lived in Peekskill from 1977 to 1991 and in Ossining from 1961 to 1977 avid gardener and custom furniture fabricator He was eminently practical and extremely resourceful He will be remembered for his thoughtfulness and ability to repair or build anything He is survived by sons Algirdas of Croton on Hudson and Romas of Sparta his sister Zita Braziene of Vilkaviskis and several nieces and nephews in Lithuania Family members who died earlier include his wife Eleonora in 1992 and his grandson Alan in 2016 Interment will follow at Rose Hills Memorial Park Get more local news delivered straight to your inbox.

The USSR aimed to incorporate the Baltic States into its sphere of influence in the future, thus had interest in Lithuania's independence (here) Germany pledged not to support any third power against Lithuania but broke the promise by signing a secret treaty with the USSR on August 23 This treaty divided Eastern Europe into spheres of influence between Germany and the USSR while Latvia and Estonia fell under USSR influence the USSR ceded to Germany the territories east of the Vistula River Subsequently, Lithuania was coerced into signing the Soviet–Lithuanian Mutual Assistance Treaty, and about 20,000 (later more) USSR troops were stationed on its territory. In return, the USSR allegedly, in accordance with the 1920 peace treaty, ceded Vilnius (with 215,000 inhabitants) and part of the Vilnius region to Lithuania on October 9, 1939, while the remaining was given to Belarus (here) However, only part of the Vilnius region, 6909 km² with 490,000 inhabitants, was returned to Lithuania – about one fifth. After Lithuania was occupied, on November 6, 1940, an additional 2,637 km² (including Druskininkai, Dieveniškės, Švenčionys) were annexed to Lithuania. The entire Vilnius region returned to Lithuania then covered only 9546 km² with 565,400 inhabitants (here) the Klaipėda region was separated from Germany and temporarily placed under the control of the United Kingdom with the Nemunas River from the town of Grodno to the estuary being internationalised the Constituent Seimas of the Republic of Lithuania voted for the annexation of the Klaipėda Region a detachment of about 1,500 insurgents (300 of them were from Klaipėda) entered the territory of the Klaipėda region regaining control of the city by January 15 Klaipėda and parts of its surrounding territories have been part of Lithuania Adolf Hitler signed a secret directive authorising the army to prepare for the occupation of the Klaipėda region When Nazi Germany occupied the Czech Republic in March 1939 convinced that the Western powers would tolerate such aggression it issued an ultimatum demanding Lithuania to hand over Klaipėda to Germany immediately Lithuania had no other choice but to sign a treaty ceding the land to Germany 1939 the territory was occupied by German troops During the Klaipėda Military Operation in January 1945, the USSR troops captured Klaipėda, and, in February – the Curonian Spit. The Klaipėda region was then annexed to Soviet-occupied Lithuania (here) To sum up, the USSR was fighting its greatest enemy, Nazi Germany, and Klaipėda was a prize that could logically be given to Lithuania, which was still ruled by Russia.All these "gifts", except for the Klaipėda region, contributed to the occupation of Lithuania by Russia in 1940, initiating repressions, the Sovietisation of the region, and the tragedy of Black June in 1941 (here) but we have additionally adopted a recommendation to keep the name of the street [in Vilkaviškis] with an explanatory plate saying that this is her birthplace,” Vitas Karčoauskas Chairman of the Inter-institutional Commission for the Assessment of the Compliance of Public Places with the Prohibition of the Promotion of Totalitarian and Authoritarian Regimes and Their Ideologies in Public Places it [the name of the street] should still be changed it is enough that one town has a street named after her,” he added The commission also proposes to change the names of the streets named after Petras Cvirka the municipality of Zarasai District has been recommended to remove the monument of a Russian soldier with a rifle which is located at the burial site of Soviet soldiers from the Second World War in the town of Turmantas The law prohibiting the promotion of totalitarian and authoritarian regimes and their ideologies in public places came into force in Lithuania in May 2023 The law bans any form of commemoration or representation of persons or information propagating totalitarian or authoritarian regimes and their ideologies
