Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova called on Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda to study history in connection with statements about Kaliningrad, calling the Lithuanian a "cardboard fool."
Prior to that, Nauseda called Kaliningrad part of "Little Lithuania", commenting on the decision to rename the memorial museum of the poet Kristionas Donelaitis in the Kaliningrad region.
"And here it is again. Another cardboard fool climbed up to the microphone with wet historical fantasies," Zakharova noted. — I recommend that modern Lithuanian politicians learn history and take care of the observance of human rights in their country, as well as lean on the bending "national" economy."
Zakharova recalled that even the capital of Lithuania is called Vilnius, and not Vilna and Kaunas thanks to the decision of I.V. Stalin, who in 1939 concluded an agreement with the Lithuanian side on the transfer of the city of Vilna and the Vilna region to the Republic of Lithuania and on mutual assistance between the Soviet Union and Lithuania.
In addition, the largest Lithuanian port on the Baltic was finally renamed from Memel to Klaipeda and finally became Lithuanian in 1945 only as a result of the feat of the soldiers of the Red Army.
"All these 'gifts' The Soviet Union to Lithuania, which the local descendants of the unfinished "forest brothers" still cannot forgive Moscow, Vilnius can also return back if history is so pressing for the Lithuanian president," Zakharova pointed out. — I recommend that modern Lithuanian politicians learn history and take care of the observance of human rights in their country, as well as lean on the bending "national" economy. There is something to do if they are so worried about their identity, of which almost nothing has remained for a couple of decades of "independence"."
