@@fictionwojak3595 Poland was our enemy for centuries. Remember polonisation? And Suvalkai is our rightful territory that was stolen by Poland. Just how Crimea was stolen by Russia
@@fictionwojak3595 That's true. Sort Polish-Lithuanian rivalry over Vilnius was like brothers fight for a toy. What's more important that we both are at war stance with russia for like 500+ years.. And we were always allied at this cause.
Although based on folk motives, this was written by a 19th century romantic nationalist poet Maironis, who was one of the main figures of the national revival
@@Velnias8Exactly, glad to see not all Lithuanians are polish simps. No wonder, you have Varg on the pfp :D I myself passed valstybinį egzaminą writing about the damaging effect of the polish nobility on Lithuania. Lithuania is pagan! Lithuania is for the Baltic people!
@@Vhisper Yeah, most ironic thing is that even nationalistic lithuanian clergy was culturally pagan. Look at Maironis, he was a priest and yet his whole prose is basically romanticised paganism. Baltic worldview is very pragmatic, religiosity is personal and I would argue that it didnt changed that much in the last 600 years even with christianity. Its very apparent when you talk with older religiuos people, whole view of god and afterlife is very mythological and baltic rather than catholic. This worldview is best described by Gediminas in his letters ("poles praise god in their own way, ruthenians in their own way, we in ours, yet we all believe in the same one just call it diffrent names..."), ofcourse this was unfathomable for dogmatic christians
@@Velnias8 Yes, you're absolutely right. As a person from Lithuania Minor, I mean, I discovered that Lithuania is catholic at the age of 14, I always thought we were protestant based on the behavior. Indeed we preserved our own way of life and own way of understand the religion. I'd argue we are still pagan, and as a Lithuanian you know better than anyone that 70% religious is bs statistic on paper that they get by enrolling you into the catholic church without asking you. When people say "atheism is on the rise", I believe they mean "europeans are done with the middle eastern religion and return to their native one", those morons convinced themselves that paganism is dead so much that when it clashes with reality they are panicking. Best example is the article I've red last year that "only one catholic priest graduated in Vilnius!!". I mean, seriously? You are surprised? For every sane Lithuanian it wasn't a surprise except for the delusional christcucks. Good thing our intelligence is pagan, Vydūnas is the best example ;) He is a national heroe and the father of Romuva. Depicted on 200 litai banknote
Jono Mateikos Žalgirio mūšis 1878m Battle of Grunwald 1410m Two cousins for Lithuania Jogaila and Vytautas He won the battle near Žalgiris with his armies
@@SodziausPilietis lithuanians were converting to christianity, with grand dukes being Christian, like vytautas. teutons at 15th century were only fighting to get land, not to convert
I have to point out that this is not really a folk song. It has an exact date of writing (1931) and an author which makes it inheritally not a folk song
Prussians were Baltic tribe - Prūsai. Prussian name was adopted by Germans, after Prussian language was extinct, which was a Baltic language - something in-between of modern Lithuanian and Latvian
@@bobthebuzztardvery good, but I think it's mistake to say about prussian how something between Lithuanian and Latvian, Lithuanian and Latvian is east baltic languages but Prussian is west baltic.
@@jizhachok technically you can say that about all people in Europe except for Nords if you look down the history line but we stopped recognizing prussians as baltics when they split to make the germanic tribes so id recommend you to pick up a history book.
Слушая литовський язьік можна прийти к итогу, что литовцьі никогда не бьіли никокими братьями руским, так же как и все другие коренные народьі постсоветских республик. Ето все бьіли народьі, которьіе просто сидели за решоткай кремльовской тюрьмьі под названием советский союз.
