Jadviga Bieliauskienė
Jadviga Bieliauskienė (1929–2009) was a prominent Lithuanian freedom fighter known for her unwavering resistance against Soviet oppression. As a high school student, she took an oath to serve Lithuania in 1948 and was sentenced to 25 years in prison for supporting partisans. After her release, she became an active member of her community, promoting anti-Soviet sentiment through various initiatives, including the distribution of the 'Chronicle of the Catholic Church' and organizing performances that critiqued the regime. Bieliauskienė gained international attention for her 1985 letter to U.S. President Ronald Reagan, which inspired many prisoners in Soviet camps. Following Lithuania's independence, she continued her advocacy, contributing to the restoration of the Christian Democratic Party and supporting victims of political violence.
