Yeah, but don't forget to take off your boots first.

What does it mean ''кузкину мать''? You know, there is not so much Russians in Lithuania when compared to other ex SSRS countries so I actually don't know what is exact meaning of this expression...

Well, the whole expression basically means "we'll show you who's who". It became famous after Soviet leader Khrushchev while having an official conversation with Americans took off his boot, hit the table with it and shouted, "мы вам покажем кузькину мать!"
