Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Oleg Airapetov Of course, the peasantry had to build a bright non-Soviet future for the country, which would unite not to restore the old order, but to build a new system based "on the principles of equality and freedom."

On October 9, 1920, General Lucian Zheligovsky captured the capital of Lithuania, Vilna. Formally, he acted on his own initiative, and was even declared a rebel by the "head of state". Zheligovsky's corps did not meet much resistance, despite the calls of the Lithuanian authorities to stop the Polish invasion of the capital with weapons in their hands. |
