Supreme Committee for the Liberation of Lithuania
The Supreme Committee for the Liberation of Lithuania or VLIK ((リトアニア語:Vyriausiasis Lietuvos išlaisvinimo komitetas)) was an organization seeking independence of Lithuania. It was established on October 25, 1943, during the Nazi occupation. After World War II it moved abroad and continued its operations in Germany and the United States. VLIK claimed to be the legal representative of the Lithuanian parliament and government, but did not enjoy international recognition. It was dissolved in 1990 when Lithuania declared its independence.
==In Lithuania==
When Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941, Lithuanians greeted Germans as "liberators" from the oppressive Soviet regime. However, soon the attitude changed and various resistance movements began to form at the end of 1941 – beginning of 1942. During 1942 and 1943 these movements began consolidating into the pro-Catholic Nation's Council ((リトアニア語:Tautos taryba)) and Supreme Committee of the Lithuanians ((リトアニア語:Vyriausiasis lietuvių komitetas)). After a five-month discussion, these two organizations decided to established one unified organization – VLIK, representing a wide range of political views.〔 The first meeting of VLIK was held on October 25, 1943 in Kaunas and Steponas Kairys was elected the first chairman.〔 VLIK's mission was to act as an underground government until restoration of the Lithuanian independence. VLIK sent its envoys to Sweden and Finland, maintained contacts with Lithuanian diplomats in Switzerland, and attempted to inform the western powers about the crimes perpetrated by the Nazis.〔 VLIK published underground newspapers and agitated for passive resistance against the Nazis. They thought that their biggest enemy was still the Soviet Union and that resources should be conserved for the upcoming armed resistance against the Russians.〔
In early 1944 VLIK sent colonel Kazimieras Amraziejus on a mission to Stockholm, but he was captured and interrogated by the Gestapo in Estonia. This led to arrests of eight VLIK members on April 29–30, 1944. In 1944, when the Soviets pushed the Germans from the Baltic states during the Baltic Offensive, most of VLIK members retreated to Germany and VLIK ceased its functions in Lithuania.〔 VLIK originally designed three of its members to remain in Lithuania, but only one did. It was a strategic loss as communication with Lithuania was severed and there was very little contact with remaining resistance groups.〔
