Emotions are anchored
And the day was really long . Already at 5:40 I put my back on my shoulders, lit my cat, who looked suspiciously the luggage on my back and attracted me to meet my friends. We shared general things, pots, saws, ribs, tents, gloves, etc., which will be useful during the trip. We announce the song "Our Days as a Feast", we considered the backpacks.
Approaching 8 hours. Inside, a bizarre excitement began to emerge, which, as a result of the movement towards the station, has already begun. For a moment, as we walked the streets of Vilnius, I felt that the views of pbaders-by were coming to us. Maybe they were attracted to the big backpacks, perhaps tagged with a shirt, but up front we were accompanied by greetings, wishes, clicks and car signals without end.
A team of people met the command at the station. I will admit that I did not expect such a public or a flash of such emotions. I'm not a fan of formal events, so I was sure to be a representative, photographed, talking and taking the road
But all the plans in my head collapsed just when Mother Aistė Eidukaityte, one of the participants of this year's expedition, came to the microphone. Perhaps because she seemed to feel more concerned about herself, or maybe because her wishes, "good luck", "luck", "safe journey" felt both maternal, started to accumulate tears in the eyes. Not only me.
"It's a different feeling to stand on the other side of the public." Apparently, all we've done in recent months, all the emotions accumulated and exploded at that moment. The responsibility and gratitude of all those who came to support and dissolve changed their power, and there was so much, so I realized that the mission is important not only for me, but also for many others, "said Agnė Goldbergaitė, member of the expedition this year in the plane

Another participant in the expedition, Viltė Ambrazaitytė, said that & # 39; She really wanted to thank the people gathered in the box: Tell each person a big "thank you" for every hug and every tear. For me, it was a grain of all time, because the support was huge. And even though it seems like it's a small expedition, something new is starting now. "
Airborne Defects
The arrival of the airport was a serious challenge for us – packaged backpacks All of its content would reach Kazakhstan.Mind me, each Once you have to look for the right item in your backpack or put something new on it, it's a real challenge.Just because you forget to remove or put a thing you need to discover, open it, then tie it again, fasten it and tighten it in.
And this honor has come in. More than once In the beginning, I forgot to put a carpet on the outside of the backpack, then a cup, all our backpacks were wrapped in a film and they looked like big cocoons, which were not thrown into the luggage compartment at all .

But after 20 minutes of airport staff, I heard a troubling question: "You do not have electronic luggage for example," power bank "(carrying a charger – DELFI)?" At this time, my face seems to feel a lot. "I have and is not it?" I asked, the worker politely explained that no electronics were allowed in the luggage compartment, because she could be alleviated by changing pressure
"So a plane burned. Bring it all back and take it out, "she said calmly, as the saying goes, linger on the threads, again from the beginning.There were at least four as" happy "
L & rsquo; Another way to the plane pbaded without major obstacle True, 12.40 hours The flight that was to have occurred was postponed once, thankfully only twenty minutes.

The expedition was reorganized in a few weeks
DELFI US reminds that the main purpose of this expedition was Siberia, Krasnoyarsk region. Throughout the month of June, information on the expedition route was collected on this land, the exiles who lived there and who lived there.
However, at the end of June, participants in the Sibiras mission18 received the message that the Russian Embbady refused to issue visas to the participants of this project. For this reason, it was necessary to change the plans of the expedition and plan the trip not to the Siberian taiga, but to the Kazakh steppes and half dumplings
The territory of Kazakhstan is the second type of deportation, of imprisonment and burial of the Lithuanian people. It is estimated that around 50,000 Lithuanians were transferred to these places. "Siberian Mission-18" missions of two expedition teams are planned here in the vicinity of Karaganda, Dzhezkazgan and Balchash.
"The conditions of Siberia and Kazakhstan are different, but the main purpose of the expedition is not.In Kazakhstan, it was more difficult to find individual graves in Lithuania because the prisoners Politics were buried here in mbad graves, but they are even more contested because they are looking for Lithuanians who still live in Kazakhstan and are managing memorials, "said A.
