The Lithuanian Cultural Community will remember 2022 as a year marked by deep concern, a presence of hovering menace, a feeling of great compassion for another nation, a desperate desire to help, and a particularly adverse effect on creativity. When Russia invaded Ukraine and started this inhuman war, the lives of many Lithuanian authors and publishers were brought to a halt. Many of them went into a complete creative stagnation, unable so much as to pick up a pencil or sit down at a desk to work. Some of them dropped their usual activities and devoted themselves to volunteering. This went on for a while. Then, creativity was revived – as a form of escapism, resistance, and communication of universal human values. These values establish us as the light of the world.
