Does anyone care about Lithuania?
🕑 Added 2025-01-17 20:27:06 +0000 UTCLately, my main reading interest in my free time has been about 20th century Lithuanian history, especially the early Lithuanian communist movement. It's a topic that can be difficult to research because so much material is either Soviet state propaganda that omits a lot of details, or rabid nationalist anti-communism.
It would be nice to turn this personal interest into video material, but I don't know if enough people are interested in Lithuanian history from a left-wing perspective to make it worth it?
In particular, I'd be interested in talking about the short-lived Lithuanian Soviet Republic which existed in 1918-19.
Another important topic would be the horrific Lithuanian participation in the holocaust, as in the early 1940s about 95% of Lithuanian Jews were exterminated by Lithuanians nationalists, with help from the Nazis. This is a piece of history that, after gaining independence from the Soviet Union, Lithuania has often refused to look back at honestly, and even glorified certain Nazi collaborators and genocide participants as national heroes, simply due to the fact that they were anti-Soviet.

I've been reading a lot of Czesław Miłosz, his poetry, essays, novels. Would love a video about 20th century Lithuanian history to give more context!
