Lithuanian history tells us that #Circassia's independence is possible.

The Lithuanian nation, which remained under Muscovite occupation for more than 120 years (1795-1918), lost its national identity as a result of heavy Russification policies and completely forgot its native language except for a few villages far from the center. In such an environment, #Lithuania gained its independence as a result of only a few thinkers pointing the way to independence and managed to raise a generation with high national consciousness and whose native language was Lithuanian in just 20 years.

This national consciousness allowed the Lithuanian nation to preserve its culture, identity and language during the Nazi occupation that started with World War II and then the Soviet occupation that would last longer.

Today, Lithuania is an independent state that is a member of the EU and NATO with a population of 2,900,000 and a per capita national income exceeding 50,000 dollars.

As the Circassian Nation, there are many lessons to be learned from Lithuania's history and its struggle for freedom.
