[00:00:00] they stood for so long,
[00:00:03] when I started walking towards them, they turned around and drove back towards
[00:00:06] Vilnius, and before that,
[00:00:09] a Zhiguli also drove into the post, I
[00:00:13] approached the car, greeted them,
[00:00:16] introduced myself, asked them to open the trunk,
[00:00:20] everything, a Russian speaker was sitting there and he asked
[00:00:23] me a question, he never asked such questions, he
[00:00:26] asked, when did you lose it?
[00:00:30] I say, don't worry, what's
[00:00:32] the matter, well, in short, that half
[00:00:36] an hour ago, someone similar to me was driving, if he
[00:00:40] returned, would you recognize him or not, but I already
[00:00:44] didn't answer him, another car arrived and I
[00:00:47] wished him a good journey and
[00:00:49] that was the end of it, so that's the
[00:00:53] impression I got, that possibly the post was
[00:00:56] being watched, such a, yes, such an assumption.
[00:01:00] But that such a thing, that such
[00:01:04] an incident would happen, we really didn't even
[00:01:08] think about it, we really didn't think about it, so this
[00:01:11] is also a war of nerves
[00:01:14] at the same time, who will endure, who
[00:01:18] will not be afraid, Lithuania
[00:01:20] was not afraid and therefore was
[00:01:23] hated,
[00:01:27] just as Ukraine is hated now. "Because she
[00:01:30] was not afraid, they kill, and she
[00:01:33] does not give up, how can one
[00:01:35] endure that in the eyes of a man-eater,
[00:01:38] it was just
[00:01:42] another day, another
[00:01:44] day,
[00:01:47] we worked, worked, worked,
[00:01:48] worked,
[00:01:52] evening,
[00:01:56] I called my race.
[00:02:06] So and we were on duty
[00:02:08] at night,
[00:02:12] so I don't have any special memories.
[00:02:31] "My waking up was somewhere between
[00:02:34] four and six,
[00:02:38] but around five o'clock it was still
[00:02:40] dark and I decided
[00:02:44] to go to the
[00:02:46] trailer, to that cafe , to my
[00:02:49] table to check
[00:02:53] the papers that needed
[00:02:56] to be accounted for, I had some receipts in one
[00:03:00] pocket, and elsewhere, money
[00:03:03] elsewhere, so I sat down
[00:03:07] at the table
[00:03:08] and
[00:03:11] heard a sharp sound , similar to a pistol
[00:03:15] shot, so that's how the attack began,
[00:03:19] raising my head from the table, I saw
[00:03:23] a uniformed man running from the forest
[00:03:27] side, from the left side, with a...
[00:03:32] a long weapon like that,
[00:03:35] a long weapon, shining sound
[00:03:39] suppressor, so
[00:03:42] that's
[00:03:45] when I realized
[00:03:46] they were attacking,
[00:03:49] nearby was the police
[00:03:53] room, where people were sleeping
[00:03:55] on the floor, because
[00:03:58] that...
[00:04:00] the sofa was burned,
[00:04:02] seemingly,
[00:04:05] so, I still warned
[00:04:08] OMON, that they're attacking
[00:04:11] and
[00:04:16] at that moment, one person with a
[00:04:19] gun entered, pointed his
[00:04:22] gun at
[00:04:25] my face, but decided not to shoot yet, ordered
[00:04:28] me to lie down." "Then I lay down, because I was
[00:04:32] in the doorway, sideways, then
[00:04:34] others
[00:04:40] ran out, still without
[00:04:43] shoes, no, I didn't have
[00:04:46] time to put them on,
[00:04:53] and such sounds began,
[00:04:55] bang, I thought, gosh,
[00:04:59] I thought that..." they're beating
[00:05:01] with a
[00:05:03] rifle butt or something there
[00:05:06] was shooting with that suppressor,
[00:05:10] that sound was like that.
[00:05:13] When it hits my head, then
[00:05:16] the metal floor, so it was like
[00:05:19] that, you wouldn't understand what was happening there,
[00:05:23] in the dark the light was turned off, so as not to disturb those
[00:05:27] who were resting,
[00:05:30] so in the dark you wouldn't understand what
[00:05:33] was happening, so
[00:05:34] that's
[00:05:37] it, as they say,
[00:05:40] I survived all the murders.
[00:05:42] "Because after that, when they
[00:05:46] brought
[00:05:51] him in, he seemed taller,
[00:05:54] so he already seemed
[00:05:57] wounded, and
[00:06:00] with difficulty he was ordered
[00:06:03] to lie down, and again
[00:06:05] such a sound, a bang to the head
[00:06:08] and he was shot."
[00:06:13] "And I was lying on the side, they forgot about me, as
[00:06:15] they say, I think
[00:06:19] I asked again, a couple of times cars
[00:06:23] stopped, so they politely said,
[00:06:26] drive through, go through,
[00:06:30] so these are the
[00:06:33] memories,
[00:06:36] after that they remembered me, so it's like turning
[00:06:40] off the TV, click and that's it." "I can say that it didn't hurt,
[00:07:01] I woke up without screams, but when
[00:07:05] it started
[00:07:07] to get light and the birds started chirping,
[00:07:11] so the birds... chirped,
[00:07:15] chirped and something is rustling, something is sighing, I thought, well,
[00:07:18] everyone was beaten, but as I see, such a thought,
[00:07:21] that well you don't want
[00:07:24] to move,
[00:07:26] so well, after that
[00:07:30] someone drove by, also wanted
[00:07:34] to declare themselves, women in Russian, they say, everyone
[00:07:37] here was killed, so I thought, what nonsense,
[00:07:41] I managed to think, then I remember
[00:07:44] that they carried me out into the sunlight,
[00:07:47] so, after that
[00:07:50] I regained consciousness when a car
[00:07:54] jerked, so these
[00:07:56] are the
[00:07:59] memories, I regained some kind of half-consciousness,
[00:08:02] ah, I dreamed that they were taking me to
[00:08:06] Kaunas, I heard one part,
[00:08:09] that they were taking me to Kaunas.
[00:08:13] "So I thought about Kaunas, I started dreaming something
[00:08:16] there, because I knew those places
[00:08:19] well, studying veterinary medicine,
[00:08:22] so it felt like
[00:08:26] I was flying over over
[00:08:30] Vilijampolė, that
[00:08:32] so-called Svabotkė, if you put it old-fashioned,
[00:08:36] Jewishly."
[00:09:36] I heard at night,
[00:09:39] probably very quickly after an hour or an hour and a half.
[00:09:42] hour, I had just
[00:09:45] left after many
[00:09:48] complicated and tense
[00:09:51] problems, Vilnius, here this
[00:09:55] international situation, all kinds of Russian
[00:09:58] attacks and provocations and, it seemed,
[00:10:02] that it was a little calmer, here Bush is coming to
[00:10:06] Moscow, so, that, my
[00:10:09] security, well, they tell me, well, you. how
[00:10:12] to spend a few days on vacation,
[00:10:16] to recover a bit, I
[00:10:20] went to Palanga, to a government
[00:10:23] building. And probably that same
[00:10:27] night we got the news that people
[00:10:30] were killed, well, I jumped in the car, drove
[00:10:33] back, before leaving I made
[00:10:37] a statement,
[00:10:40] that the Soviet Union attacked
[00:10:42] Lithuania, I wrote it
[00:10:44] directly, nobody yet, oh, we need
[00:10:47] to find out what, why, how, there's nothing to
[00:10:51] what they are doing. They
[00:10:55] have been terrorizing for half a year or
[00:10:57] more, beating,
[00:11:00] destroying, burning, and we still don't know who
[00:11:04] is doing it, it's very clear who is doing it, so now
[00:11:08] they shot, so who else came,
[00:11:11] from Sweden from Zanzibar came to shoot, the same
[00:11:15] ones are shooting, the same killers, I said
[00:11:17] without hesitation who is here, who is the killer
[00:11:21] and who is the culprit,
[00:11:23] one can here "emit that we really investigated something,
[00:11:27] but the other side really doesn't want to
[00:11:30] agree to anything, to give anything and everyone understands
[00:11:34] that
[00:11:37] they know that we understand and they
[00:11:40] understand that we understand and we understand that they
[00:11:44] understand that they will give nothing and and will not
[00:11:46] help, so this
[00:11:49] mindset, in the investigation
[00:11:52] of this case you cannot... well,
[00:11:55] such a mentality and
[00:11:58] such despair, simply, but
[00:12:01] people work a lot, there are many volumes,
[00:12:05] much has been dug up and at least one
[00:12:08] has been arrested despite all the
[00:12:11] obstacles, despite all the obstacles.
[00:12:29] "Do you know that you are wounded or do you not know yes,
[00:12:32] I die, you know, yes,
[00:12:35] well, who wounded you, maybe you know,
[00:12:38] I know, you know, yes,
[00:12:41] he,
[00:12:46] oh, who wounded
[00:12:49] you,
[00:12:53] well, try to say, try to say."
[00:12:58] After that I woke up after operations,
[00:13:01] nobody said anything, because there was a thought, that if
[00:13:04] I found out, then
[00:13:06] I would
[00:13:10] be nervous and unhealthy, roughly
[00:13:13] these kinds of things, so I already
[00:13:16] suspected that something more serious happened during
[00:13:20] Police Day, that Angel's Day
[00:13:24] and... "I was watching TV, there was a line
[00:13:27] of policemen and they, as
[00:13:31] it was mentioned, that four policemen
[00:13:35] died at the Medininkai border post,
[00:13:39] I thought, if policemen died, then maybe not only
[00:13:42] policemen, maybe customs officers,
[00:13:46] so that was the first knowledge,
[00:13:49] that it
[00:13:51] already
[00:13:54] had to
[00:13:55] happen,
[00:13:59] and after that that
[00:14:00] rehabilitation,
[00:14:05] so you saw how your friends were also shot,
[00:14:09] yes,
[00:14:12] yes,
[00:14:17] they all carried him into the house, yes,
[00:14:20] yes.
[00:14:25] "Were they still alive when they carried them into the house,
[00:14:28] I don't know, they tried to question me, when I
[00:14:31] didn't speak, nor did I understand
[00:14:33] anything, and they would shove such a
[00:14:37] microphone, such an old-fashioned,
[00:14:40] somehow shining metal,
[00:14:44] and maybe what are they asking, who was there, who, how many
[00:14:48] of you were there, how many were there, and who are these,
[00:14:51] well, it's better to keep quiet,
[00:14:55] "because that microphone is very similar
[00:14:59] to the weapon's silencer,
[00:15:02] I remembered it as
[00:15:06] such a thing from that evening.
[00:15:35] So the head was shot. and also
[00:15:37] a blow, I, but the doctors think,
[00:15:41] that German doctors, that I would have walked
[00:15:45] because of that head, maybe I would have walked,
[00:15:49] but there was also a blow with the rifle butt to
[00:15:52] the base of the neck,
[00:15:56] which damaged the cerebellum,
[00:15:59] which is responsible for
[00:16:03] balance, for that coordination,
[00:16:06] everything. I control my hands
[00:16:09] and legs as much as I control them,
[00:16:13] but I cannot walk at all, because
[00:16:16] the brain's signals to the spinal
[00:16:19] cord pass distorted,
[00:16:22] meaning German doctors determined with
[00:16:26] expensive examinations,
[00:16:29] I am Tomas Šernas, Tomas Šernas, what's your father's name,
[00:16:33] Tadas, Tadas, Tadas.
[00:16:37] e what year were you born
[00:16:40] 68
[00:16:43] the 28th
[00:16:46] of the month, so what is your
[00:16:50] nationality, Lithuanian Lithuanian, when the trial
[00:16:53] took place already,
[00:16:57] that person who transferred and he
[00:17:01] had three
[00:17:04] lawyers,
[00:17:07] one assigned by Lithuania,
[00:17:10] that, as they say, free state
[00:17:13] assigned and two
[00:17:16] paid, well paid,
[00:17:20] funds were collected somewhere from the
[00:17:23] embassy, all the time there was a Russian
[00:17:27] embassy representative and always
[00:17:30] such a, I
[00:17:34] didn't have a lawyer, because I was...
[00:17:37] harmed, I'm sort of, as they say,
[00:17:40] a suspect, I'm not entitled to a lawyer by
[00:17:44] law, so I had to find a lawyer
[00:17:48] myself, so it's good that one person
[00:17:52] agreed to mentor me for free during that trial.
[00:18:35] Now I understand that. "It is not strength
[00:18:39] to feel, to feel revenge,
[00:18:41] strength is
[00:18:44] to forgive,
[00:18:47] to forgive and somehow to wish them
[00:18:50] well, so that they crawl out
[00:18:54] of their Russian state,
[00:18:56] I apologize for such
[00:18:58] a word, for that
[00:19:02] boorish mindset,
[00:19:06] although that person." who is in prison
[00:19:09] in Lithuania, that only one, who, as I
[00:19:13] understand, fell into Lithuanian law enforcement,
[00:19:15] does not admit
[00:19:18] that they committed crimes,
[00:19:20] it is said to them, it's easier to live
[00:19:23] in fantasy,
[00:19:26] easier to think that we harm people, there
[00:19:30] something like that, well, that's easier,
[00:19:33] that they, that they
[00:19:36] committed murder. for some beautiful
[00:19:40] goal, and also the people
[00:19:43] who killed, say, Jews
[00:19:47] or other people during the Second World War,
[00:19:50] most of them
[00:19:54] did not confess or
[00:19:56] did not regret, because it is much
[00:19:59] easier, revenge, of course, it is
[00:20:02] such, as to say, justice must
[00:20:06] be. "I forgive them, but I would like
[00:20:09] them to get their justice,
[00:20:13] if you feel revenge and, then
[00:20:17] you are tied to them, to the same
[00:20:20] mindset, to the same
[00:20:23] evil, but when you forgive, you are a free
[00:20:26] person, you can move on, then you can,
[00:20:29] as they say, create and defend
[00:22:33] Above Medininkai time casts a glance,
[00:22:37] history,
[00:22:40] roads, forest
[00:22:42] views,
[00:22:44] the state has already immortalized that date,
[00:22:48] here are the crosses. "Here
[00:22:51] are the names of brave sons,
[00:22:55] a memorial to these men shines brightly
[00:22:58] against the backdrop of nature, as if seven
[00:23:02] were guarding the peace here and
[00:23:05] the golden morning
[00:23:08] sun, under the pavement we hide that
[00:23:12] sand, which the restless wind kept
[00:23:15] blowing, these men as if sitting
[00:23:18] in a wagon watch us with trusting eyes,
[00:23:21] they call out Stasys, Ričardas, Antanas, soon, soon
[00:23:24] a smuggler's car will stop, they still live for the concerns of the state,
[00:23:28] suddenly
[00:23:31] seven hearts
[00:23:33] stop,
[00:23:36] here is already a museum, men, your wives
[00:23:40] come with grown
[00:23:42] children, only the unjudged
[00:23:46] OMON rumbled away, along the gray roads of uncertainty.
[00:23:50] And the wagon, a living exhibit,
[00:23:54] covered by a modern glass dome,
[00:23:58] a sensitive tourist casts a silent glance,
[00:24:00] how young the father,
[00:24:03] how beautiful the son,
[00:24:06] the route Kaliningrad
[00:24:10] Belarus and
[00:24:13] customs, powerful and
[00:24:16] strong, to remain a nation.
[00:24:20] To remain on the side of the state,
[00:24:23] Medininkai always has.
[00:25:02] The plan is clear. Not to faint and
[00:25:05] not to turn to stone. How will it be
[00:25:09] implemented? In what way?
[00:25:11] An intriguing game for librarians
[00:25:14] in the Golden Mind Summer League. Oh
[00:25:17] no, I won't say. Oh no, I won't even say. No, because it's shameful,
