I’m holed up from the hurricane and stumbled upon this movie. I’m not Lithuanian or know much about the history. This was such a good learning experience.

Thank you.  My grandparents were active in the Atgaja (distributed smuggled books) in Gruzdziai.

My grandparents came over separately , both families as they could . Thank you. My father is gone, my Aunt still speaks the language. I would love to learn . This helps.

Damn, dude….
If the Tsarists had succeeded in suppressing this language, we might not have one of the oldest living spoken descendants of Proto-Indo European around anymore….
This is harrowing history!

27:30 the subtitle says "He went towards the West" . But Jurgis says in Russian "Vostok" - "towards the East". In Lithuanian subtitles it's also "vakarus" which means "West" .

My grandad was with the forest brothers while fighting the russians he had to run out of the group because they killed some members he and hes friends ran

Mes ne visada buvome draugai. Tačiau lenkai nepamirš savo bendros kovos už laisvę. 1863 metų sukilimas. Ačiū, Lietuva.❤😢

Is one of the Russian soldiers being played by Vovka from Zero 2?)) He's overplaying, it seems, looking more like that Vovka from Naujininkai rather than a Russian policeman))

[dzmitrypravatorau]

Why did he use Belarusian words like "gaspadine" and "harelka"? I thought "degtine" meant vodka in Lithuanian... Or does it all happen on the borderlands?

1:05 - geri firminiai šiuolaikiniai batai, kažkaip nederantys su 19 amžiumi . Po sekundės sustenėjus pavirsta į senoviškus "čebatus" .... 😁

Kaip patekti į dangų: Tikėk Viešpatį Jėzų Kristų ir būsi išgelbėtas. Jėzus mirė už mūsų nuodėmes ir prisikėlė, kad visi, kurie Juo pasitiki, turėtų amžinąjį gyvenimą danguje. Jono 6:47

Sveiki, ieškojau informacijos apie kygnešius, radus filmuką užmačiau netikslumą pavadinime ... pas mus Lietuvoje yra 19 amžius, bet angliškai 18th century. :)

TEVYNE means "Motherland" (NOT fatherland) TEVYNE is in the feminine gender; otherwise it would be : "Tevynis" Fine film .
