The Lithuanian Scrat-like creature holds a banner “We’ll stop Russian aggression!”, while the perplexed Russian Bear is consulting a book with the title “Curing acute mental disorders”.
Some resolute yapping was heard from the general direction of Lithuania, aimed at Kaliningrad… As it happens, the previous time was when Lithuania threatened to blockade Kaliningrad in June of 2022, and back then in the article “Lithuanian Blockade of Kaliningrad – the suicidal move by a limitrophe to please its master”, we looked back then at the history of Lithuania in general and Vilnius in particular.
And now, present-day materials that we posted at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”:
Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda called Kaliningrad a historically Lithuanian city that should bear the appropriate name
In addition, Nauseda stated that “no matter how hard Russia tries, Karalyauchus will never become Kaliningrad.”
State Duma deputy Alexei Chepa, commenting on the words of the Lithuanian president to RIA Novosti, said that Moscow would closely monitor developments, but it was unlikely that any steps would be taken by Vilnius.
It is clear that these statements will probably not be followed by any further steps, because it is stupid of them to create complications and possible provocations on the Curonian Spit or elsewhere.: this will have very serious consequences for them.

Kaliningrad Governor responded to the statements the President of Lithuania.
Mind your own business and stay out of ours. And remember: Russia is here forever. And tell it to those who doesn’t know!

If one is to revise the results of the Second World War, guided by the logic of the Lithuanian president, who expressed claims to Kaliningrad, then the entire Baltics should belong to Russia, said deputy Alexei Zhuravlev to RIA Novosti
“This includes Vilna, the current Vilnius, which has been the capital of the Vilna province of the Russian Empire since 1795.”
In his opinion, Russia would benefit from the Suwalki corridor, which would allow for the supply of the Kaliningrad region.
Against this background, Zhuravlev urged Vilnius to keep its mouth shut, noting that the Lithuanian army is one of the weakest in the world, and it will not last even a day in the confrontation with Russia.
Maria Zaharova’s commentary on the Lithuanian delirium
And here we go again. Another cardboard fool reached for the microphone with wet historical fantasies.
This time, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda “distinguished himself” by calling Kaliningrad part of “Little Lithuania”:
“Despite the fact that the old-timers of Lithuania Minor, which is now part of the so-called Kaliningrad region, have long since left, it is necessary to preserve the last signs of Lithuanian culture. No matter how hard Russia tries, Karalyauchus will never become Kaliningrad.”
This is how he commented on the decision to rename the memorial museum of the poet Kristionas Donelaitis in the Kaliningrad region.
I just want to remind you why the capital of Lithuania is called Vilnius, and not Vilna and Kaunas. This was 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.
I would also like to remind you that the largest Lithuanian port on the Baltic was finally renamed from Memel to Klaipeda and finally became Lithuanian in 1945 thanks to the selfless feat of the Red Army, to whose soldiers these historical rewriters demolish monuments.
All these “gifts” from the Soviet Union to Lithuania, which the local descendants of the unfinished “forest brothers” still cannot forgive Moscow for, can be returned back by Vilnius, if history is so uncomfortable for the Lithuanian president.
I recommend that modern Lithuanian politicians study history and take care of the observance of human rights in their country, as well as take a closer look at the crumbling “national” economy. There is work to do if they are so concerned about their identity, of which almost nothing has remained in a couple of decades of “independence”.
I had to laugh when I first read this (separately) as a regular news item — shades of “The Mouse that Roared” (an old Peter Sellers movie; I don’t know if you’re familiar with it).
But I have to admit, your coverage here really pegs the extreme absurdity, especially Maria Zakharova’s bitingly appropriate response. And that fabulous lead-in cartoon really says it all. Bravo!
I’m especially glad you’re posting these here, since I have no access to Telegram via my fairly obsolete operating system and browsers.
I am glad it made you laugh – ridiculing the madness we see before us is probably the last weapon we have in this mad world. You may have noticed that Russian officials stopped trying to reach their Western counterpart using normal language, as that seems to have no effect. Instead, sarcasm and irony are used with ever growing frequency.
“The Mouse That Roared”, yes, that I heard of, but this particular title was more inspired by Ivan Krylov and his fable “The Mops and the Elephant”: “Oh, Mops, she must be a mighty dog as she i barking at the elephant”.

It is a pity you cannot access Telegram – we post about 10 posts per day there, covering various topics, and only a few of the lager publications get re-posted in the blog.
