If only asking for an emoji was this easy. Nothing captures 'summer' quite like pink cold soup, a stack of wild strawberries, long evenings by the bonfire with a crown of flowers and herbs, or hot air balloons floating over Vilnius.

The USSR regime claimed millions of innocent lives. The first mass deportation of Lithuanian residents took place on 14-19 June 1941. Around 17K innocent people were deported from Lithuania to Siberia – most of them were women & children. Many never returned home.
