VMU Researchers on March 11th, the Signatories‘ Jokes, and the Singing Revolution
“In my closest circle of acquaintances, a simple, clear-cut belief was prevalent: what’s most important is to declare the restoration of the independent Republic of Lithuania.

Or perhaps we would be deported to Siberia or simply shot. What mattered was to do everything in our power to give Lithuania a chance to become not just a free but also a democratic state”, recalls Rimvydas Valatka, a signatory of the Act of Independence, journalist, and professor at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), reflecting on the mood of March 1990.
