The most tragic event for the nation and the state of Lithuania - the Soviet occupation of the 1940s - is still the subject of heated discussions in society. We are still looking for answers to the most exciting questions - why there was no resistance, why not even a protest was made, often undeservedly emphasizing not the main factor - the aggression of another state, but the disagreements of internal political forces, the fault of the army, public organizations, individual politicians due to real or perceived lack of preparation, negligence, indecision. The occupation hurts especially because of the ruined lives of people - political persecutions, arrests, deportations, killings, the Holocaust. In this book, the author returns to the problem of Antanas Smetona's departure on June 15 - why he, unlike the presidents of Latvia and Estonia, left Lithuania with his family, how the opposition forces behaved, why the representatives of Moscow chose Justas Paleckis as president during the transitional period from occupation to annexation.
