2. General Informations
(A) Military:
(i) The port of KLAYPEDA,
The harbour area is surrounded by a wooden fence and closely guarded by
Soviet troops.
Within the area between KLAYPEDA
to the North, NAUMIESTIS to the East, and SHILDTE to the South, there are no
Soviet garrisons or installations except in the following restricted areas
which are closed to public traffic:
units. of tho Soviet Navy
are stationed there.
(ii) The peninsula KURISCEE NEERUNG extending southward from KLhYPEDA, which
is believed to be a heav3.ly defended area.
no details of coastal defences.
(iii) The area approximately between STARISlKE (STARK) (uTL:/34U/EG 1164),
DARzmi m (DAR~LUPIAI) (UTM/34U/EG 1559) and KLISHIAY (ICLI IAI)
(UTTM/34u/EG 1554).
there are artillery ranges within this area.
Gunfire can be distinctly heard in SAUGAY.
one near KLA.YPEDA
each with seating capacity for 30 to 40 persons.
Some particulars of railway and bus fares are given under para. 4 (L) below.
(B) Try s
Whereas no new major roads have been constructed since 1945 the constructional
quality and surface of the existing ones have been considerably improved.
This observation applies particularly to the road from KLAYPEDA to SAUGAY.
Bridges which suffered damage during the war have been rebuilt.
The only railway in this area, namely that between KLAYPEDA and TILSIT
(tiTM/34u/EG 5704) (Map 3), is a single-track line converted to the Russian gauge.
(both railway and bus services function normally.

(C) Power Supply:
The high-tension power line from GUIIDI1diVETi/East Prussia (uTM/34u/EF,7850) .
(Map 2) to KLAYPEDA, from which current was drawn to supply the district of
KLAYPEDA with electric power up to 1945, was dismantled by the Russians after
the war.
Thus the rural area under review: has been without electricity ever since.
There is a local power station in KLAYPEDA but it seems that its output is
insufficient to supply both the town and' the surrounding, country.
(D) Town of KLAYPEDA:
There are no delays or apparent lack of rolling stock.
Rural bus routes are served by new-looking Russian buses of the MOLOTOV type,.

(a) Popuiation: 50X1-HUM
The rural population of this area was half German, half Lithuanian before
World War II.
Owing to the war and its after-effects there are only a few German families left.
They have very little opportunity to keep up their ethnic and cultural-
tradition and are in process of amalgamation with the Lithuanians.
These, in their turn, are'steadilyy if perhaps unwittingly being Russianized.
Russian is beside Lithuanian the official language of the country.
It is taught in schools, used in official correspondence and encountered
frequently in everyday life.
Many Lithuanians tend to speak Russian among themselves when travelling or
visiting towns, probably'to make a "better" impres,sibn. 50X1-HUM

There have been no private iandowr-ers or self sustaining farmors since that

~- 4. Living Conditions in Rural areas:.
(A) LooaL Administration & the Kolkhoz:
SAUGAY and vicinity belong to the "RAYON!' (county) of PRIEK(JLE:
As an administrative division the Rayon was created after 1945, taking its
place between the Rayons (formerly "Kreise") KLAYPEDA and SHILUTE.
The Rayon is divided up into several districts, the so-called "Selo".
Selo SAU,GAY:IS composed of 10 villages and hamlets? and is headed by the
"Permeninkas" (Chairman) of the "SEL'SOVYET" (Village Council).
The Chairman of the Village Council is a member and trusted functionary of
the Communist Party of Lithuania. '
He represents the. sole executive power at local level.
He is responsible for the security, public safety, administration and welfare
of his district. ? ? . ??.
He has the last word in whatever is decided by the Village Council.
Because of this the Village Council, intended to be a parliament at local
level, is able to act in only an advisory capacity.
The Village Council meets once a week.
It is composed of the representatives of all villages of the district, one
elected spokesman from each, and the "Brigadiers" (see para. 4 (B) below).
Whereas the Brigadiers are concerned mainly with the production side of the
Kolkhoz, it is the right and duty of the village representatives to put up for
discussion all matters concerning the personal welfare. of the, villagers.
To all intents and purposes the Selo and the Kolkhoz .controllin( an area and
its manpower are one and the same thing.
The chairman of Selo SAUGAY is also the General Manager of Kolkhoz ARTOYIS
named after a communist of the Spanish C.ivil.Uar).
Thus the administration of this Kolkhoz is in SAUGAY, the land it cultivates
is the former property of the inhabitants of the 10 villages which now form
the Selo SAUGAY, and its manpower consists of these sane villagers.
(B) Organization,of the Kolkhoz: .
The Kolkhoz under review has 'about 400 members consisting of family soups
and single persons:
the total population of Selo SAUGAY at 2,800, of whom
about 1,500 are children.
Thus the manpower of the Kolkhoz is in the region of 1,300.'
The Koikhoz oovers 2,000 hectares of arable land and pasture.
For the purpose of more efficient management and 'control of-...production the
peasants of every two or three villages are organized into "?brigad_es" led
by "brigadiera". '
Each of the. 4 brigadiers of Kolkhoz i1RTOYIS is responsible for all the
farm work in his area. ?
Only members of the Communist Party may be appointed brigacliors.
They are aided by a handful of "shock" workers.
The livestock of the Kolkhoz comprises 400 cattle :and . 200 horses.
The facilities (in this case identical with the public institutions of
SAUGAY consist of an administrative centre, a somewhat primitive club-room
and library, a sick-bay and a kindergarten or.children's nursery.
'With the exception of the Kolkhoz has no
mechanically propelled machinery of its own.'
The tractors and harvesters ("Combines") are furnished by`the LTS
(Machinery & Tractor Station) in PRIEKULE.

Ali the abovementioned figures are subject to annual changes, the norms; also

working so as to afford themselves a better s LIL '. Norms vary from year to year.
For the year 1956 the minimum requirements were as follows:
Men - 140 working days; Women - 120 working days. .
A full working day has 8 hours in winter and 9-10 hours fromy.to October:
Within the normal working hours has to perform' work to the 50X1-HUM
equivalent of 100 "point "
The system of evaluation by points is complioated and dotsiled.
Thus for instance, driving a horsecart loaded with firewood a cUstance of
?3 kilometres earns 20 points.
Persons who fail to fulfil: either the daily norm in points, or the yearly corm
for the days worked, or both, are in the first instance given a:~i.ng by '-the
Village Council.
If this measure fails, economic pressure is exerted on them.by. curtailment of
*gges, removal of some of the land leased for private use, and roa sing the taxes
for what remains. . . Should the offender still fail to meet the requirements he io ret3orted to the
"Vigdamas Komitetas", which.,is a kind of Country Court 'which.?sits.:once or
? "twice a month and is fined 100 or 200 or more roublee.
Ae an ultimate measure the unproductive person is expellea'from the Kolkhoz and
the community.
However, such instances are rare and none occurred during Inf-t' s twoyear50X1-HUM
residence in the Kolkhoz. .
Apart from the collective work'for the benefit of the Kolkhoz or State the
peasants have to do additional farm work in their own interest if they want
to survive.
Thus every family'is allowed to lease from the Kolkhoz up to 60 axes'of 50X1-H U M
arable land and to keep one cow, some pigs and poultry; yr. 100 litres of milk
Out of this private production 30.kilograms of moat, 50 S,'
and 1 cwt of. potatoes in a?yoar must be handed over to the Kolkhoz.
The remainder may be consumed, sold or bartered. .

.Absenteeism had declined by 1950 when people realizod that collectivization had
become a well-established fact which could not be halted by passive resistance.
Loafing and absenteeism are rare today, being occasioned only by excessive
drinking rather than by intended sabotage.
The names of the mere habitual absentees appear on the Kolkhoz?inotice board
along with the' punishment meted out to them.; 50X1-HUM
The names and production figures of shock workers' appear periodically on the
Board of Honour.
They are photographed and their pictures displayed with apj O)riate comments

Morale & Public Opinion:
In addition to the items mentioned under para. 3 (C) aboYe~
the present situation as follows:
The normal grouses of ordinai~ people against the system are:
A low wages, ? `.
B high cost of living, .
C lack of civic rights as compared with life in the pre-war
Republic of Lithuania
and (D) knowledge that one is no longer master of one's own land but
e ong. g : o he new. ,y-created class of rural proletariat.
The younger generation is affected by this feeling less than the older people,
who are still keenly aware' of the bug tradition of personal freedom, land-
ownership and.independent faraing, which yn this part of Lithuania goes back to
the beginning of the 19th Century.
only a few Party functionariee.really believe in'
Communism, the consensus of opinion ?J that any kind of resistance or sabotage
is useless and, in view of the possibility of ensuing reprisals leading to the
gradual extermination of t)xe native population, foolish.
Political and military help from the West is still hoped for but no longer
really expected after the disappointments of 1953 (death of Stalin) and
November 1956 (Hungarian uprising).
The general attitude of the population to the regime of, the Russian controlled
Lithuanian SSR is entirely negative
However, many people believe that half of their problems would be solved if the
present status of Lithuania as one?of the Union Republics could be changed into
that of a satellite country after the pattern of Poland.
The belief that all misery and evil have their roots in MOSCOW rather than. in
the Lithuanian Communist Party:. or in the communist doctrine as such, is
growing especially among young Lithuanians educated since the end of the rrar.

 2. Population;
SHILUTE?and. its environs had a mixed German and Lithuanian population before
the war.
Most of the Germans were evacuated by the German army to East Prussia and
West Prussia in Autumn 1944.
.Many of them, were, however, later overrun by the Soviet
army and, after different periods of imprisonment in Soviet camps, sent back
to Lithuania, again like Inft., or deported to other parts of the U.S.S.R.
in.May 1957 there were about 25 German families in SHILUTE
and perhaps 200 in the villages aroundth
.e AUGSTUMAL-MOQR (UTM 34U EG 2538).
r
Many German families have accepted Soviet nationality in the meantimo and in
doing; $o,have forfeited their. chance of repatriation to W.Germany.
The population of SHILUTE has steadily own since the end of the war and at
:.the. presort time already exceeds the pre-war figure.
This is due to a constant influx of Russians which however, now seems to
have come :to an end, presumably owing to lack of further occupation and
accommodation.
0 conparativel few Lithuanians from other parts of Lithuania have settled
in SHILUTE since 1945 .
3. Soc.Z'Qb logioal: .?
Dot1 Russian and 'Lithuanian. are regarded hs'official languages,
The German language is tolerated but disliked
There is a local Russian and also a Lithuanian newspaper.
Both languages are taught at school from the.very start.
Fluent lmowledge of Russian is instrumental in obtaining better-paid employment
with municipal and industrial enterprises.
Whereas local government is run by Lithuanians only, the Russians hold all the
important positions in commerce and industry.
the relations between Lithuanians and Russians resemble
a war them as
While there is no oPen hostility, neither side can conceal Its dislike of
the ^??, other. '
Cases of intermarriage do occur but are by no means frequent.
Fraternization can be talked of only inasmuch as it is inevitable when people
live and work together.
