Aage Myhre, 60, is the Norwegian architect, journalist, publisher whose community building skills have made him a small expat phenomenon in Vilnius. He is about to return to his home country after twenty two years in Vilnius, taking along his Lithuanian spouse and two daughters, but leaving his other object of admiration, Vilnius' Old Town, behind.
news2biz met Aage to ask him to reflect on his Lithuanian stay that lasted much long than he expected.
How did your Lithuanian story begin?
I used to have my architect's office in Oslo that I shared with 15 other local entrepreneurs, lawyers, politicians and the like. One day in 1990, a ponytailed young man comes in, says he's an advisor to the then president Vytautas Landsbergis of the country that we'd hardly heard about, Lithuania. He'd been told – to our surprise – that we are a group of leading lobbyists in Norway, and that Landsbergis' wants Norway to be the country of his first official visit to the West, so he needs our help in arranging – but he has no money.
Three of us in Oslo agreed to help, and with the support of Statoil, other big companies and the Oslo Municipality we managed to arrange a successful visit for Landsbergis' a couple of months later. During his visit, Landsbergis invited us to Lithuania and we went there in November 1990. Our task was to negotiate and arrange the installation of the Norwegian satellite telephone system at the Lithuanian Parliament. At the same time I was helping Statoil to get acquainted with the Lithuanian and the Baltic market.
During his first visit to Lithuania, in November 1990, Aage
took this picture at Rotušes aikštė (Town Hall Square) in Vilnius. This was probably the very last
picture ever made of the statue of Vincas Mickevičius-Kapsukas.
Next morning the statue had been knocked down by local
activists...
19 January 1991: Aage with President Vytautas Landsbergis in
the
Lithuanian Parliament (Seimas), while the Soviet troops
and tanks continued to surround the building.
During this stay I, being relatively newly divorced, met Egle, my future Lithuanian wife. That was not all – I also fell in love with Vilnius' Old Town. As an architect, I saw the beauty of the place where others saw buildings falling apart, and decided that that was my chance to help bring the best out of it.
I got into renovation projects right away, and some of the earliest Old Town building renovation projects are mine. There were no good-quality building materials at that time in Lithuania, so I had to import windows, doors, paints etc, and for a couple of years I think I was a leading importer of Norwegian products to Lithuania.
New projects followed and eventually I had too much interesting work on my hands to return home, so I started my architect's business in Vilnius with my new father-in-law.
Aage
met his coming wife Eglė already during his first visit to
Lithuania,
in 1990.
In 1992 they married in the St. Peter & Paul Cathedral in Vilnius.
Why have you decided to leave?
There are a number of reasons. I've been investing in Lithuanian real estate, with own money too. The crisis of 2008-2010 hit me really hard, while today there is so little happening in the local property development market – it's not interesting enough for me anymore.
Another reason is family. I have three grown-up children in Norway and two daughters here. I would like to unite them and have my big family around me as much as I can.
The third reason is my Lithuanian children. As children, they have dual Lithuanian and Norwegian citizenship now but Norway only allows one for adults; to qualify for that you need to have spent certain time in Norway. The social safety system in Norway is probably the best in the world, and I want my kids to enjoy it. Then there's education – Lithuanian high schools are good, but university education is generally not up to standard yet.
What is your take on modern Lithuanian architecture?
I'm a classic style architect, and few of modern buildings in Lithuania have impressed me. Local architects or property owners seem to be more interested in building monuments to themselves, to the point of looking funny.
For instance, Vilnius' biggest new commercial development around the Europa office tower and shopping centre looks so messy to me. One particular area looks like a stone desert, there's nothing there that makes you want be there. The neighbouring Konstitucijos Avenue is one big transport artery that completely blocks the Old Town on the other side of the Neris River from the new central business district. I think placing it underground and creating a green oasis wouldn't have cost much more while creating a much friendlier place.
I believe in holistic architecture – how buildings, the surrounding area and people interact with each other is as important as designing an interesting building. I like to compare modern Lithuanian architecture to a casino – you throw the dice and get an assortment of numbers-buildings, you have no control over them and therefore urban planning suffers from that. The more classic style architecture I compare to chess – every move has intelligent consequences to the game.
How has it been for you, a foreigner, to run a small business here?
It's been different from Norway, yes, and there have been many challenges. Many foreigners who come here start complaining, especially about corruption. Of course, corruption exists here but personally I have never paid a single Litas in bribes to any local politician or bureaucrat during my projects. If you behave like a normal person with a certain degree of politeness, you don’t have to go into these traps. But if you come with your nose poked in the air, you will quickly face problems.
If you have a positive attitude, Lithuania is a fantastic place to be and do business, especially now with the country's low taxes – you don't even have to do business here, only have your base and do business wherever you like.
The Vilnius International Club that you are the founder of, the VilNews English-language online magazine about Lithuania – they seem to be more about history and for older Lithuanians living abroad rather than about current affairs and for young people.
It's just like human being – they have various interests, and so we at VIC and VilNews try to offer a mix of everything – history, politics, culture, business. I admit, VIC was not as active when I was deeply involved in launching VilNews as a newsletter for VIC but now it's again a vibrant community. As the basis for VIC activity, I've been using borrowed slogans from two well-known brands, Nokia's Connecting People and Nike's Just Do It.
VIC members break down 50/50 between Lithuanians interested in foreign affairs and the local expat community. I believe VIC today is the best forum for any kind of local-foreign discussion – it’s not just a chamber of commerce, it's not only a culture institute.
And we are certainly going to have more young faces at VIC and VilNews, it just takes time for me to walk them through.
In Norway, Lithuanians last year became the second biggest immigrant community. How do you feel about it?
What I don't like about Norwegian authorities is that they are discussing only what advantages (low-cost skilled labour) or disadvantages (crime) the Lithuanian immigrants create for Norway. I never heard somebody say, 'This is so bad for Lithuania that we take their best brains'. If this issue was discussed from both sides early on, the authorities could have become more focused on it and could probably come up with some solutions.
Obviously, many Lithuanians wouldn't have left their country if it wasn't for the Andrius Kubilius' Conservative government's austerity policy that started in 2008. It was like putting brakes on in a car that was already standing still. I personally urged Kubilius to write to Scandinavian prime ministers to seek some kind of assistance. For instance, to a country like Norway to support Lithuania would have cost very little. Later I met Norway's Conservative Party leader Erna Solberg and asked if Kubilius ever asked for help and support to deal with the crisis or the energy prices pushed up by Russia. She said, no, never.
In general, I believe Lithuania and the Baltics should seek closer cooperation with Norway and Scandinavia. The EU is fine but it is such big and unwieldy machinery. Scandinavia owes you so much because it pretended not to notice that Lithuania's anti-Soviet resistance, the bloodiest post-war conflict in Europe, was taking place 60 years ago at their very doorsteps.

Can good come
from selfishness?
During a trip to Lithuania a few years ago, Boris went to the North Lithuanian city of Siauliai to see his grandmother’s sister before she died. At 97 she was the oldest surviving member of his family.
By Boris Vytautas Bakunas
I want to tell you a true story. During a trip to Lithuania a few years ago, I drove to the city of Siauliai to see my grandmother’s sister before she died. At 97 she was the oldest surviving member of my family.
My reason for visiting her was not only selfish, but it was based on an illusion. By meeting her, I believed that I could reconnect in some mysterious way with my grandmother whom I had loved very much. My motive was selfish because I visited the old woman so I could feel good. I did it for me, not for her.
I didn’t really expect any reaction greater than customary courtesy and perhaps even mild interest. Was I surprised!
When I entered the small cottage where she lived with her daughter and her son-in-law, I saw a table decked with delicacies, juice, brandy, and beer. A bright red candle had been lit in my honor. The room was so small that we had to huddle closely together around the table. My great aunt and my cousin sat beside me.

When I entered the small cottage where she lived with her daughter and her son-in-law, I saw a table decked with delicacies, juice, brandy, and beer. A bright red candle had been lit in my honor. The room was so small that we had to huddle closely together around the table. My great aunt and my cousin sat beside me.
I quickly sensed that age had taken a toll on her faculties. “How nice it is to see you again,” she kept saying over and over as if I had just walked through the door.
As I looked at her worn, wrinkled face, battered by years of hard living, I saw a gleam in her eyes that beckoned back to the beautiful young girl she had once been. Her eyes shone like drops of morning dew after a cold night. All the while I was there, she kept looking gently at my face. Her soft sliver of a smile threw gentleness and love my way. I thought of an aged Mona Lisa.
After my cousin and her husband went into the garden, my cousin asked, “Do you know why my mother kept staring at you like that?”
“No, tell me,” I said.
“She thinks that you are her son, and you’ve just returned home from a trip.”
Her son had died years ago.
Was I disappointed? Did I feel bad that I had come too late for my great aunt to recognize me, or even remember that I existed?
Not at all! Instead my heart surged with amazement at this mysterious life we lead. I had made this journey out of selfishness – to satisfy my own desire. I wanted this meeting for myself, not for her.
But my selfishness, born out of the illusion that I could once again feel the glow of my grandmother’s love, had created joy in the heart of another human being, a joy also born out of the illusion that I was her long lost son.
I did see my grandmother’s love once again. I saw it in her aged sister’s eyes. And she saw her son.
Even out of illusion and selfishness good can come. What a mysterious existence we live!

How can Lithuania
learn from Iceland?
Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė with the
Ambassador of Iceland, Elin Flygenring.
The Icelandic government failed to convince its own citizens in the elections this weekend, and the conservative opposition claimed poll win as voters returned parties that ruled over 2008 financial collapse back to power.
But the present Icelandic government has, nevertheless, something important to teach the eurozone, according to an Icelandic economics professor.
While droves of businesses have had to close its doors in Euro cities like Rome and Athens, the business community in Reykjavik avoided mass death. But it could have gone differently, says economics professor Thórólfur Matthíasson at the University of Iceland.
He has called the crisis that hit Iceland in 2008, the perfect storm. A financial sector ten times larger than Iceland's GDP collapsed. The Icelandic krona lost over half the value. Inflation rose far and fast.
Up to 90 percent of Icelandic companies were in danger of getting bankrupt, but many of them could point to future, long term opportunities. The solution Iceland chose, and Matthíasson participated in, was to facilitate the corporate debts.
Both government, banks and individuals went into talks about impairment. The result was win-win, says Matthíasson.
Banks got customers who could handle their debts. Businesses avoided extensive closures. Icelanders avoided unemployment and social deprivation.
- The banks could have pushed for bankruptcy in many companies, but have instead really done their very best to look for common sense in the matter, says the economics professor.

- The banks could have pushed for bankruptcy in many companies, but have instead really done their very best to look for common sense in the matter, says the economics professor.
- Firms are left with the maximum debt burden they can bear, but without getting any gift of money from the banks, he maintains.
Something similar was done for a number of individuals and families who were in danger of bankruptcy, often with debts of 110 percent of the value of their properties written down.
- It has helped those who bought when house prices were at their highest, says Matthíasson.
- In this way we avoided that a bad situation became even worse. It is the Icelandic way, he says and believes many European governments and creditors would do well to study this direction of choice.
But there are still many families who are struggling under a heavy debt burden, and Icelanders are tired of the harsh emergency. Saturday voters punished governing parties in everything choice.
While several European countries still are struggling with recession, Iceland is again growing. Matthíasson is optimistic on the economy's behalf.
- We work a lot more than the average Norwegians and Danes, but by working more, we have managed to keep up the standard of living. And we should not forget that unemployment is at 4-5 percent, which is far below what is the case elsewhere, says the economics professor.
- The conditions are there, the question is whether we have the sense to do the right thing out of it, he says and thinks bad management could cost much.
Iceland, five years after the crisis continue strict capital controls, which puts severe limitations on industry opportunities abroad.
There is no normalization in sight as long as capital controls are there. And there's no good plan for how it will be removed, according Matthíasson and think it's going to stay like that for years.
- If we do not enter currency cooperation with others, it will take us a very long time. All in all, this will be a project of 20 to 30 years. We may not have as strict capital controls at the end of the period, but the first ten years certainly, he says.

The economic argument is over -
Paul Krugman has won
 Lithuania’s former prime minister, Andrius Kubilius is a staunch advocate for those who want to cut spending to reduce deficits and "restore confidence." |
 "Stimulus" spending, Paul Krugman argues, would help reduce unemployment and prop up economic growth until the private sector heals itself and begins to spend again. |
For the past five years, a fierce war of words and policies has been fought in America and other economically challenged countries around the world.
On one side were economists and politicians who wanted to increase government spending to offset weakness in the private sector. This "stimulus" spending, economists like Paul Krugman argued, would help reduce unemployment and prop up economic growth until the private sector healed itself and began to spend again.
On the other side were economists and politicians who wanted to cut spending to reduce deficits and "restore confidence."
Government stimulus, these folks argued, would only increase debt loads, which were already alarmingly high. If governments did not cut spending, countries would soon cross a deadly debt-to-GDP threshold, after which economic growth would be permanently impaired. The countries would also be beset by hyper-inflation, as bond investors suddenly freaked out and demanded higher interest rates. Once government spending was cut, this theory went, deficits would shrink and "confidence" would return.
This debate has not just been academic.
Those in favor of economic stimulus won a brief victory in the depths of the financial crisis, with countries like the U.S. implementing stimulus packages. But the so-called "Austerians" fought back. And in the past several years, government policies in Europe and the U.S. have been shaped by the belief that governments had to cut spending or risk collapsing under the weight of staggering debts.
Over the course of this debate, evidence has gradually piled up that, however well-intentioned they might be, the "Austerians" were wrong. Japan, for example, has continued to increase its debt-to-GDP ratio well beyond the supposed collapse threshold, and its interest rates have remained stubbornly low. More notably, in Europe, countries that embraced (or were forced to adopt) austerity, like the U.K. and Greece, have endured multiple recessions (and, in the case of Greece, a depression). Moreover, because smaller economies produced less tax revenue, the countries' deficits also remained strikingly high.
So the empirical evidence increasingly favored the Nobel-prize winning Paul Krugman and the other economists and politicians arguing that governments could continue to spend aggressively until economic health was restored.

Healing the heart and soul of Lithuania
By Ida Hardy, Texas, USA
Lithuania is my mother’s country. She escaped with her mother and sisters as a young child and at one point in her life she wanted to return. It seemed to me that she heard the whispers from the wind in the forests and they were calling her home. My mother taught us a little about the folk tales and the music. She taught us to meditate and a little bit about yoga and I wanted to learn more about her childhood home. But the Soviets were still reigning and it was impossible for us to go. Later, as we cried on the phone on that day in 1991 I asked her if she would like to return and she said, “You can never go back. Things are changed so much.”
Her message was about more than the structure of her home and the murder of her father. She was really talking about the broken spirits of all the people who were victims, those who were aggressors, and those who were both. There is no going back. No one can undo the evil that has taken place anywhere on the planet throughout time.
is.

Gordon Ross So... The Soviets are gone.... Why are you still in Texas?
Aage Myhre Ida Hardy, I think
Gordon Ross (from Scotland but already half Lithuanian), has a good point
Ida Hardy I think it's a good question...not sure I have a good answer.
Virginia Shimkute warmer in Texas is a good reason !
Ida Hardy One year I should go in July or August when it is too warm here.
Felicia Dalia Prekeris Brown I also escaped from the Soviets arriving in Lithuania (for the second time) in 1944, and I also dreamt of forests and streams from my childhood. Luckily, I've gone back over and over since we regained independence: mostly because nowhere can I get the real CEPELINAI except in Lithuania! Something about the potatoes from that black soil!
Ida Hardy Felicia Dalia Prekeris Brown have you written your story? I want to know what your life was like and what happened to you - and if you have a nice recipe for cepelinai?
Boris Bakunas @Gordon Ross. I have a good answer. Because in the free world, people have the right to live where they want. Let us remember that our wishes are not commands that others must obey.
Felicia Dalia Prekeris Brown Ida - I actually have written down the story of our family's existence under Soviets and Nazis (1939-1945), our harrowing escape from Lithuania with the Soviets at our heels, life in the DP camps... It's at the publisher's now and should be coming out this summer: called "God, Give Us Wings." I see that many of us in sunset years are setting down the history we lived before it all fades into oblivion.
Boris Bakunas @Felicia Dalia Prekeris Brown. Yes, we are. It's so important for our children and children to know what our families endured. It can be a source of strength in times of hardship. Whenever something unfortunate happens to me, I automatically say, "This is nothing compared to WWII."
Ida Hardy I will read it. I think it was too difficult to talk about and my mother didn't give too many details. She was maybe 9 when they fled. So much suffering and for so long. I don't blame her for avoiding the subject.
Boris Bakunas My family rarely spoke about the events of World War II as well. It took a lot of research to find out even the little I have learned. Some memories are so painful that people want to bury them. I believe, however, that we are better off if we face time. In time, they cease to have a hold on us. How else can we become free?
Bernard Terway We can go back a lot further than WW2 to find Lithuanians who left but were still afraid to talk about where they came from. To this day, I have no idea where my grandparents came from n Lithuania. They wold not talk about it for fear of being sent back and forced into the Russian army, I suspect.
Ida Hardy Yes, facing your fears is important but I think so many people need help in order to do it in a productive way so that they move through the difficulty instead if getting caught up in the resentment, anger, fear and stopping there. Long-held and tightly-held anger is a burden.
Felicia Dalia Prekeris Brown Ah those difficult memories! I was lucky: I TAPED my parents reminiscing about the years from 39 to 45, and they also wrote down some things to give me a good timeline. I was 7 in 1945 and remembered events but not the sequence. I also had many documents and letters: thank God my father had the soul of an archivist! Thus I had a stack of materials to guide me.
Ida Hardy And thank God your father lived to tell! God bless you for doing the work.
