The Lithuanian Community Information Bureau looks busy. People are filling in forms and giving signatures. Information about the events in Vilnius on January 1991 is being collected and mediated both via phone and fax. Worker at the information bureau gives an interview to the news channel CBC News (synchronized). The interviewee tells about the Soviet armed agression against the protesters in Vilnius. Western world should definitely react to the efforts of the Baltic states for regaining their independence. The interviewee believes that Mikhail Gorbachev has lost control over the events taking place in the Soviet Union.
