Russians taking the train from Moscow to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad have to pass through Vilnius station in Lithuania. When their train pauses at the platform, they are greeted with 24 large posters depicting the war in Ukraine.

The posters show pictures of corpses, injured civilians, grieving families, destroyed homes and infrastructure, and child refugees.

All posters have the same message: "Today, Putin is killing civilians in Ukraine. Do you support this?"

"As far as we know, Russians are shielded from what is happening in Ukraine."Maybe we can change the minds of a very small number of passengers," Mantas Dubauskas, a spokesperson for the state-owned Lithuanian railways, who have erected the posters, told Reuters.

6. Vilnius is a very pretty Capitol with a dark history

The city keeps reminders of its dark past....where secret police would take prisoners into a police building and shoot them....bullet holes/blood still on the walls. Just outside the city on the train line, pits can be viewed where Jews were trained-in and lined along the pits to be shot so they would fall into the pit. There's a small run-down building next to the pits housing a rustic museum with few visitors but sobering information.

The Baltic countries have been invaded 3 times, 1x by Germans, 2x by Russians, so they know all about brutality.
