OTD in 1951 second wave deportations of Operation Osen began. In this wave, 16400 Lithuanians were forcibly deported to Siberia as USSR continued to "liberate them from fascism" 6 years after WW2 ended

Imagine mass deportations happening today...

Of those deported, over 5000 were children. Imagining deporting children today...

We, the self declared successor state, pretend we have no idea why NATO is so popular with our former colonies and neighbors. Total mystery.
