Heavy rain crazy rain today. And cold. I pottered around the city, called in on the genocide museum. Utterly shocking an utterly horrible. It has the names etched on the walls outside of those killed inside. First used by the Soviets, then the Nazis and then the Soviets again until 1991. The sickening ideas inside to try and force information from people is a wonder. Ideas so horrible but often they worked. One particularly nice "room" featured a small metal disc raised about half a meter from the floor. Under the disc the "room" would be full of water. Nice and cold. Especially in the Baltic winter. Prisoners would then be thrown in naked and left, with nowhere to go but to crouch on the little metal disc.
Whilst walking around Villnius I have noticed a massive mount of E.U. and N.A.T.O. flags. I feel there is a certain element of "Fuck off Russia" in the display. Perhaps I am cynical but after visiting all three Baltic states I have noticed a definite desire to publish and broadcast the happenings of "Soviet Occupation" as it is described in the three recently independent nations.
