You know I’m studying Political science at Vytautas Magnus university, which before occupation was called University of Lithuania. However, when Russians occupied Lithuania this university like many other universities and was simply closed and a warehouse was mare of it. (They also made warehouses of churches in Lithuania, I guess it was one of their favorite activities, even Vilnius Arkikatedra kad to become a warehouse in soviet times http://www.vestuviugidas.lt/images/c...34_image_5.jpg ) So, if you are thinking that by closing Lithuanian universities and schools you helped to improve education then think again because one more time you are talking nonsences.
Or maybe we should remember how their forced Lithuanians to become a pioneers and join communist party because otherwise they weren’t allowed to study at any university at all. And By the way even if you finished such university no one allowed you to stay in Lithuania but told to go and work inside of Russia. So what country’s education they tried to improve??
This is how USSR tried to ‘’improve’’ education in Lithuania. At least it’s what they did there.
