Maybe you are right, I've only been to, say, 5-7 major cities in Russia.
What I am saying is that for people like my parents, grandparents and myself it's really hard to compare life in Lithuania these days and the older times as there's nothing left to compare, really. 27 of 30 of my classmates are spread throughout Europe, including myself. I have more lithuanian friends in uk than I do back in Lt.
Good for them, I suppose, not so good for places I care about. And this is how many ppl from remote Lt places feel like.

- vkazanov 5y agoSure, a well-known process. I think in the Baltic states this is magnified by population decrease and internal EU migration. Population: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/lithuania-population/ https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/lithuania-pop... I think the population decrease numbers can be multiplied by 2 if you take EU emigration into account. I see it as the biggest long-term problem Lithuania is facing. The country is not that big and crowded to begin with, and in 20-30 years it's projected to be even smaller. And the society is just not ready for the obvious solution - immigrants.
