🇱🇹In Lithuania, the authorities forced workers to use grinders to cut off the word “USSR” from manhole covers….

Initially, they wanted to simply replace the hatches, but it turned out that the country did not have a single spare hatch…., and Lithuania itself had never produced them…. Then, the angry Lithuanian president ordered the workers to simply saw off the USSR inscriptions.
