UAB SERTIKA and the history of Lithuania

A nation is strong and has a solid foundation when it has memory, respects its ancestors and learns from history.

Nurturing this value, we contributed to the construction of the Vytės Cross Memorial to Upyna's fallen partisans.

Excerpt from Lithuanian Echo in 2012: Vytogala (Šilalė district), the birthplace of Stasys Darius, celebrates its 450-year history anniversary (July 22). Each year also has its own content, hides the complex destinies of people, and each year has its own face. Again, a man is needed, only he is able to restore history. It is a great opportunity to give a kind word to those who resurrected that story. It is said that thanks to the will of Šilalė district mayor Jonas Gudauskas and the care of Teresė Rubšytė, the chairman of the council of the Lithuanian political prisoners and exiles union, Teresė Rubšytė, the memory of the Lithuanian independence struggles is best preserved in the entire republic. It is not only preserved, but most importantly restored, returned. Thanks to them, people are gathered and a wise, value-aware community is created. And now, monuments have been unveiled for the partisans who died in Upyna village, who were turned into numbers, whose graves were even erased, who were buried somewhere. The Vytė cross memorial sign for the fallen partisans of Upyna was created by members of the Kaunas University of Technology "Ĺžuolo" hiking club - Rimantas Milkintas, Paulius Dambrauskas, Juozas Dapkevičius, Ingrida Kusienė. For the first time, the names of the evicted were engraved: Bagdonas Kazys-Ūdra, Henrikas Oskaras-Paulius, Jonikienė Vanda-Kengūra, Petrošius Aleksas-Lapinas, Norvaiša Vaclovas-Algirda, Šaltys Bronius-Sakalas, Urbons Bronius, Vinikas Petras, Beržinis Povilas-Ėuolas.
