More nationalism.What is the reason for this? The larger amount of forests in Lithuania? Something else?
OK; understood.
Also, though, in a TL where both Vilnius and Klaipeda become Russified, could be have seen a Lithuanian Transnistria after the end of the Cold War?
I doubt that an armed breakaway is possible, there just wasn't the climate for armed conflict and both of these regions are too vital for Lithuania to be let go. Especially not Vilnius (which would probably be split a 33-33-33 manner between Poles, Lithuanians and Russians). But some insurrection might be possible, especially if Russia still ends up supporting Donetsk/Abkhazia/Transnistria and others like OTL.
