"The Lithuanian armed anti-Soviet resistance started in the summer of 1944. The organized fight was going on until 1953. In 1953, the partisan movement’s structures were liquidated by the Soviets. The first partisan units were created in the end of the summer of 1944. Later, they formed some bigger structures of the armed resistance movement: military companies, partisan military districts and partisan military regions. The partisan leaders seek to unite all the partisan military territorial structures for establishing a centralized organization, which would coordinate the political and military fight to liberate Lithuania.

On Feb. 10–20, 1949, after some preliminary exchange of opinions on Feb. 2–10, the gathering of all the main partisans’ commanders of all the Lithuanian regions was held in the bunker of Leonardas Grigonis (partisan code name Užpalis; the commander of the Prisikėlimas partisan military district), which was located in the farmstead of Stanislovas Miknius in the village of Minaičiai (not far from the town of Šiauliai; now the Lithuania’s administrative district of Radviliškis). This constituent assembly established the Movement of the Struggle for Freedom of Lithuania (commonly referred to by its Lithuanian acronym, LLKS). During the assembly, the leadership of the LLKS was elected. The assembly discussed all the political, tactical, ideological and organizational issues of the LLKS, including the political program of the LLKS, the statue of the LLKS and the issues related to partisans’ uniforms, ranks and posts. The assembly adopted its appeals to all the members of the partisan movement and the rest of the population of Lithuania.

The most important document of the assembly was the LLKS Council’s Declaration of Feb. 16, 1949. “The Council of the LLKS shall be the supreme political body of the nation during the occupation period. The governing of Lithuania shall be exercised by the Seimas (parliament) elected through free, democratic, general, equal elections by secret ballot,” reads the declaration of February 16, 1949. The Declaration was signed by eight participants of the assembly – Jonas Žemaitis (partisan code name Vytautas), chairman of the presidium of the Council of the LLKS, and the LLKS Council’s members: Aleksandras Grybinas (partisan code name Faustas), Vytautas Gužas (partisan code name Kardas), Juozas Šibaila (partisan code name Merainis), Bronius Liesys (partisan code name Naktis), Leonardas Grigonis (partisan code name Užpalis), Adolfas Ramanauskas (partisan code name Vanagas), and Petras Bartkus (partisan code name Žadgaila).

The Declaration as well as other documents, which were adopted by the assembly, became the legal and political foundation for the Lithuanian armed anti-Soviet resistance. On Jan. 12, 1999, the Seimas (Lithuanian parliament) passed a law to honor the partisans’ Declaration of February 16, 1949. The Lithuanian MPs stated that the LLKS was the sole legal authority within the territory of occupied Lithuania. The law of 1999 states, “The February 16, 1949 Declaration by the LLKS shall constitute a legal act of the State of Lithuania.”
