Well... "Not happy" - depends on who you ask in Lithuania. My great grandmother was killed by nationalists near Zarasai. So her daughter - my grandmother - was brought up by relatives in Kaunas, and understandably never had any sympathies for the pre-war Lithuanian state and people missing it. She's still alive, by the way, and hates the way modern Lithuanian official historians idealize "forest brothers", nationalists, etc. This does not make USSR a much better place, of course, but they did just let everyone go in the end, didn't they..? I still remember all those endless trains with tanks going east. I can't really remember too many examples of such a "mild" empire, em, disappearance.
