Abstract
Nowadays, when the Soviet propaganda narrative has been recycled practically in its original form, the same motifs from Stalin’s time are repeated. The manuscript of this collection was completed before the full-scale war started in Ukraine. As the authors noted, a strong impetus to the resurgence of this topic was driven by the military conflict in Ukraine in 2014. Now, the topic of partisan struggle is even more relevant. In conclusion, it is wonderful to witness the continued interest of Lithuanian historians and archeologists in the study of the independence movement during the Soviet occupation, as well as the younger generation’s sustained curiosity. The joint investigation of what happened in the Baltic states after World War II would need more work in the future, and could provide a new quality of knowledge for all Baltic countries.
