Austria gave very good lesson for the Lithuanians. Before you call a person "a criminal", in Europe require to prove his guilt in court and provide convincing arguments for his arrest. Lithuanian officials have a lot of swinging tongue. Do you want to judge the Soviet Union? Ok, try to do it somewhere in the lithuanian CIA jails, but before it happened, please, shut up, troglodytes.

Austria has failed to comply with EU's basic tenets: an Soviet official who in 1991 gave orders to shoot and kill unarmed Lithuanian civilians in Vilnius, is being saught by Lithuania. This individual, Golovatov, was in custody of Austrian police, but instead of consulting with Lithuania, they consulted with Moscow and released him. Austria betrayed a fellow EU nation, Lithuania.

@gintas35

Did you hear this call, do you have the record, please show? otherwise you lie.

I'm glad this man is free, otherwise it'll be another show how balts did with Meri in Estonia. There is enough nazie heros in LT to start from to judge, when finish, next start from Gorby who did all the bloody orders and he lives in the west now, so it's quite easy to get him. But you NEVER start from yourself, it is better to blame somebody.

It is quite funny how many lithuanians created the accounts and call themself- austrian or "I'm from Austria" and try to leave the silly comments. The real austrian people are to clever not to be involved into this lithuanian shit, because if you blame somebody- first prove it (and they couldn't), but do not do "blah blah blah" around the world/

Golovatov was set free the same morning after a 4:00 AM phone call from the Ambassador of Russia to the Austrian Foreign ministry. No pressure from Russia?

Люди, вы идиоты? Приказы на все действия отдавал Горбачёв (нобелевский лауреат) Сначала его осудите, а потом уж рядовых исполнителей, лицимеры. Кстати, проживает постоянно на западе - фас!

[Tigravera75]

Golovatov is not guilty at all cases. I don't know what happened there, but he just followed orders. And anyway it is very stupid to quarrel with Russia over such small and insignificant country as Lithuanian.

@MrJaroslavas

You shitty Lithuanian.

[serpentus77]

@eXcluzziver Firstly, I don't defend this person. I defend the presumption of innocence as a basic principle in Europe. The president of Lithuania and other officials already called mr. Golovatov as "criminal". Secondly, I want to remind you that Lithuania was in solidarity with the Estonian authorities, when they are "ordered to attack innocent people without gun, to drive over them with" police cars, to put hundreds of them in the port's barn with chained hands, leaving them without water.

I am from Austria and I am deeply ashamed because of the release of this war criminal.
