Brainwashed by a Regime of "Truth"
I’d like to be able to write an essay about my heroic resistance to the Communist regime in Soviet Lithuania. I cannot, however. I was brainwashed by the regime. Born in 1960 in Communist-ruled Lithuania, I belong to the generation that knew close to nothing about the violent beginnings of that rule in our country. I was disoriented, as would be a man who unknowingly built his house on blood-soaked land.
