After the reunification of Belarus in 1939 interests of the Belarus people were treacherously defied again and the will of the people was ignored. In October 10,1939, the town of Vilnya and its territory were turned over to Letuva. It was done without consent and against the will of the native inhabitants of the territory. To hold the territory, a state policy of "deslavation" has been held in Letuva for more than 50 years. The latest example is implementing direct government and suspending the work of the elective bodies in September 1991.
To justify the decisions adopted in 1939 in Berlin and in Moscow abaut turning over the Western Belarus territories to Letuva the USSR waged a state policy of misinformation and lie during many decades which resulted in the general inculcation among the public opinion and politicians of falsified (proLithuanian) ideas about the history of relations between Russia, Belarus and Letuva, and in particular about the reunification of Vilnya and its territory with Letuva in 1939.
Under the conditions of Communist dictatorship the proLithuanian orientation of this question was spreaded among all the ideological and information systems of the USSR. But even in the period of disintegration of the Bolshevik Empire democrats and anticommunists, when supporting Letuva in its struggle for independence, not only inherited but also strengthened the pro Lithuanian position which created conditions for the information blockade of the objective informaion during the postCommunist period.
It is not surprising that the credo of the postcolonial authority of Bela rus is "All is lost that goes beside one's mouth" Under such conditions negotiations with Letuva will be held in a situation extremely unfavourable for Belarusian people. All shows that in the name of a political situation national interests of the Belarus people will be betrayed again.
But a centuryold history of the people, the wealth, culture and centres of civilization created by it should not be written off to please the today's political situation.
We should not neglect the blood relationship of Belarusians with the majority of native population of the Vilnya territory, the socalled "tuteishiya", who faund themselves belonging to Letuva against their will. Their Belarusian grandparents and greakgrandparents hoped that an independent and indivisible Belarus would be restored in the Belarus ethnic territory of the former Russian Empire. Alienated from Belarus state children and grandchildren of the "tuteishiya" were made witnesses and victims of despotic policy under the totalitarian regime of "letuvizing" the territory. In such conditions their unification during the lifetime of one or two generations under the Polish banners was determined by their struggle for ethnic survival, for the preservation a Slav (which acquired there a name of "Polish") , if not the Belarusian, ethnic essence.
As a consequence, the Belarusians ("tuteishiya") of the VilпУа territory (they made up the majority of the population in the 20s) were registered as Poles.But it was not the result of a great ethnic metamorphosis, as the language, culture and the traditions
