Excellent, Aage!

Unfortunately, we still have those legacies when all the lines of institutional collaboration were parallel: from LT to Moscow. Anything more complex and/or multi-directional than that was viewed with strong suspicion by the KGB and with quite a good dose of justification. During the Soviet occupation, the Sovnarkhozy attempt at such reform by LT was also suspect. As a legacy of the occupation, now everybody is suspicious of everybody as such trans-institutional cooperation is just out of the Soviet LT genes:). The Sajudis failure to conduct the Czech style lustration to weed big Bolshevik traitors out of future power in free LT just conserved those bad legacies.
