Antanas Sniečkus
Antanas Sniečkus was a prominent Lithuanian communist politician who served as the First Secretary of the Lithuanian Communist Party from 1940 until his death in 1974. He played a significant role during the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, overseeing the implementation of Soviet policies and contributing to the suppression of dissent. His leadership was marked by efforts to integrate Lithuania into the Soviet Union, and his legacy remains controversial due to the association with the repressive measures taken against those who opposed Soviet rule.
