VILNIUS—It was Wednesday March 11th at around 4 PM. The procession of the “nationalists” began, as usual, in the heart of the Lithuanian capital, with authorities’ permission, at the city’s medieval Cathedral Square. It made its way up the central boulevard, Gedimino, up to Lukiškės Square, a stone’s throw from the nation’s Seimas, or parliament.
Only Defending History came out to monitor the march. . .
