12 January, 2026
Day of the Defenders of Freedom
MRU Library

After the night, the day came. ...  We thank everyone, who stood together 35 years ago. We also thank those who, despite anger and lies, are today creating a freer and better Lithuania.

On this special day, we invite you to browse the book "Dainuojanti revoliucija Vilniaus barikadose" (The Singing Revolution at the Vilnius Barricades) available at the Library entrance. As a sign of remembrance for those who were not afraid of tanks, we invite you to wear a small Lithuanian tricolor or a forget-me-not.

A lot of visual material from January 13 can be found in ePaveldas, the Lithuanian digital cultural heritage portal. The photographs by Virgilijus Usinavičius, Zenonas Nekrošius, Edmundas Katinas placed near the easel were taken from there. You are invited to take one photograph and place it in the book you are reading. Let us not forget soviet crimes.
