Dr. Jazavita: Participants of January 13th Teach Us How to Be United
"January 13th can be called a victory day – we managed to achieve our goals and did it at a relatively modest cost. There could have been thousands of dead. Of course, there were casualties, but far fewer than we see now in Ukraine or in the conflicts that took place at the end of the last century, for instance, during the breakup of Yugoslavia. Today we can learn truly a lot from those who defended freedom on January 13 – but the most important thing is that the nation united at a crucial time," says historian, graduate of Vytautas Magnus University (VMU), and museum curator at the Kaunas City Museum Dr. Simonas Jazavita.
