The inhabitants of Lithuania leave this message under the scandalous statement of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), in which the partisans of the Baltic States are represented as criminals.
The initiator of the action, journalist Andrius Tapinas, on his page called on all Lithuanians to go to the page of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Facebook and leave information about the guerrillas with information about the partisans #.
"If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation on its official page can water us with mud, we can answer this. Go to their Facebook page and leave it polite: # you will not overwrite the Kremlin. Remember the effectiveness of this method? It will take you a minute, visit the Kremlin lair, express your position and invite others to do it! "- wrote in Facebook Tapinas.
On Sunday morning, on the page of the Russian Foreign Ministry, more than 7,000 such messages were left to the English version and 5200 comments - to the Russian, delfi notes. Lt After Lithuania's flash mob in Facebook responded to Moscow's attempts to spread propaganda about the partisans in the Baltic countries, Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius said that Russia was constantly trying to interpret history, and the initiatives of citizens observed on social networks are very important.
"Interpreting history is one of the ways of Russian propaganda, it happens all the time, and this aggravation from Russia is felt. Of course, this should be reacted, especially since we have something to say (. This is an ongoing process, it's good that not only agencies, but also citizens react to it, their initiatives are very important - maybe even more important than when an initiative aimed at the actions of citizens comes from power, "said Linkevicius.
The Kremlin reacted disinformation to the short video that NATO showed through the channels in social networks, about the "forest brothers" - the partisans of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, who resisted the Soviet occupation.
"This may be the answer to this, and the reason, and the desire in the next time to compromise the efforts of NATO related to its consolidation in the region. It should not be forgotten that NATO has strengthened its forces, it has been training, exercises are using weapons, so this process is being compromised in any way - and this is one way - to link it as if NATO is an organization that supports the fascists, as they try to say - This, to put it mildly, is fundamentally inconsistent with reality, but it can be used and so explain, beyond any doubt, "said Linkevicius.
The minister stressed that the Foreign Ministry reacts to the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
"Since last Thursday we are in this information field, and our people are active with their infographics and similar information.
Let's see how this will develop, we have been responding to the heightened background of disinformation for several days, what will happen next, we'll see, "said Linkevicius.
"Resistance is also a continuation of our statehood, maybe this is a certain symbol, that's why we also have something to say, and those few hundreds of thousands of people exiled to Siberia are a process connected with almost every family, the same thing in Latvia and Estonia, broken fates. This you will never erase from history. You can try to rewrite it, as Russia does, consistently and constantly, "the Foreign Minister said..
