Evgeny Afineevsky: World War 3 Is Taking Place in Ukraine

„If we look at the World War 3 that is [happening] today, it's a hybrid war. On one side we have shelling missiles, civilian people dying, from another side we have hybrid war of media and propaganda. Many dictators of today took from Goebbels' playbook: take a lie that is big enough and repeat it over and over, and it becomes true. We also know another rule: truth is the enemy of the state. Putin successfully adapted this already from 2010, when he started to adopt certain laws in Russia. Propaganda is a problem. When people who had been influenced by it see my film, they are silent, because after seeing something like this it’s really difficult to create arguments", Evgeny Afineevsky, Russian-origin filmmaker from the U.S. who visited Vytautas Magnus University at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy in Lithuania, said. The director presented his latest work, the documentary Freedom on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom.

Baltic-American Freedom Foundation Interactive Exhibition

In June 2022, the Baltic-American Freedom Foundation (BAFF) celebrated its 10th anniversary and created an exhibition-stand about BAFF alumni. This exhibition is interactive - it works with the Overly app, which should be downloaded to the phone. With the Overly app, you can scan the faces at the stand and short video reports about these people will be presented to you on your phone. This exhibition travels through the universities of the Baltic countries. First, it was exhibited at VilniusTech University, later it travelled around Latvia and Estonia. In February 2023 we present it in Kaunas, Vytautas Magnus University, V. Putvinskio str. 23, ground floor.
