Gintaras: Žalgiris Stadium was not only a place of sports events; people were also interested in the shows by stunt drivers from Czechoslovakia. You can only imagine how running tracks looked after their performances. 🙂 The Soviet government took interest not only in the health of the sportsmen, but sophisticated pastime of the audience as well: […]

Neringa: In childhood, our parents would bring us to Vytauto Park. Back then, the roofs of Orbita looked like the caps of amanita mushrooms. This carousel was perceived as big children entertainment. So, what was left for us? The slow-paced Saulutė. In my early memories, children’s festivals would take place in the park; it was […]

Unfortunately, they did not stand and entertain the passers-by for a long time. They were vandalized one night. It was around 1988, I don’t remember for sure. But a place is never empty, and […]

Arkadijus Vinokuras (member of the “Company”): We were proud of Kaunas, and the situation of Lithuania hurt us, so a lot of us would carry a litas coin featuring Duke Vytautas from the Smetona times. Miesto Sodas has become the symbol of wanting freedom, a little island of anti-conformism and the hippie movement itself was […]

Sculptor Robertas Antinis: There was Orbita – a superb club. In that common context, it was special. They used to show short erotic movies there, and it was like a strip club. What I remember about cafes of Laisvės alėja [Freedom Avenue], is the fact that it was hard to get in there at the […]

Indrė Žakevičienė: The most memorable event for me was the commemoration of February 16 in 1989 in Santaka Stadium and the “analogue” of the Baltic Way 25 years ago in the Museum of War. The vehicle that was bringing us to the Baltic Way got stuck somewhere halfway. The driver got nervous, turned around, brought […]
