Try to write in English as it is hard to translate fragment by fragment.

Once again you've demonstrated distorted Polish history, calling it world's history. I'm sure that Poland may look as big as a world. There may be some things outside Great Poland too.

[b]Literacy[/b]
It is sad as you do know only Scandinavian runes. There were 2 pictures of Scandinavian runes, one Estonian book, the rest Lithuanian. Baltic runes are not forgotten.

It seems your country was among the few without them (illiterate).

[b]Education[/b]
Church tried actively to replace runes with Latin alphabet so Latin literacy was encouraged much earlier for public use and teaching.

First schools teaching Latin appeared with Franciscans 1209 in Prussia, 1251 Lithuania. Primary parish schools were active in every church, every mansion and there were town schools. Grammar, rhetoric, dialectics, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, music were subjects for primary schools. They were called gymnasiums and had either 5 or 7 year education. 7 year ones had philosophy and theology in last two years.
We did not have feudalistic slavery, as it was in Poland. It did make a difference in literacy. It was a lot different from Poland.
Every Lithuanian knows term "greedy slave" (used for invaders from feudalistic countries).

First schools of higher education appeared at the beginning XIV age by the same Franciscans. 1325 Dominicans started their schools. Since 1397 (date of baptism) first Cathedral schools appeared (for priests).

We do have numerous Lithuanian writings with exact dates while you do not know these dates. That's fishy. :chuckle:

Vilnius University did survive, but it was not the only one at the time. In Vilnius [b]Protestant College[/b] appeared in 1539 by Abraomas Kulvietis and later with Stanislovas Rapalionis he moved to form [b]University of Konigsberg[/b].

Jesuits soon started their own in 1569 which was later renamed to [b]Vilnius University[/b] in 1579. These were not the only places for higher education as there were 7 Colleges only in Vilnius region and just in 40 years it became 16.

Compulsory primary school of 1774 in Lithuania, does it tell something? Interesting thing about it is that most did prefer private schooling in villages and towns.

My guess it is not in your distorted history books?

[b]Religion[/b]
Poland was tyrannical country. Lithuania was the only country that had free choice of religion at the time.
The best depiction is 1412 when Polish king Jogaila takes Przemysl cathedral (Eastern) and gives to Catholic bishop (such thing is unimaginable in Lithuania of the time). During 1596 gathering of Brest (splitting of Eastern church of Poland and Lithuania) both sides curse each other. These events illustrate what was the religious and national atmosphere with religious men cursing each other.
Ukrainians couldn't counteract aggressive Polish actions as Lithuanians did and result was obvious. While it is not so obvious for Poles even today?

Original Message "According to the Lithuanian Ambassador in Minsk, Linas Linkevicius, the improvised incendiary weapons were thrown yesterday’s evening. In his own words to BNS, "two Molotov cocktails were cast into the territory yesterday evening. They caught fire, our police officers put them out. It was a coincidence that we avoided damage, the consequences could have been much worse," commented Ambassador Linkevicius."

It did happen a day before 7th of November, Great October Socialist Revolution day in Belarus that is still celebrated there.
