What are you talking about? Lithuania has the lowest percentage of Russians (about 5.5) than any of the Baltics. The percentage was more than 9 in 1990. There are more Poles than Russians.

After the world war, Lithuanian partisans for the Russians for more than a decade. That held down the number of Russians staying there.

According to this paper (1988), the Lithuanians held out for eight years. Not bad, considering that the only places they could hide were swamps and forests. I haven't recently read this particular paper, but there is a consensus that the resistance movement prevented the Soviets from infesting the territory more than they did.

There are more Poles than Russians.

The Eastern part of Lithuania was Polish up to 1939, including Wilno (Vilnius)
