ENIn 2013 Lithuania and Poland celebrated the 150th anniversary of the January Uprising. The celebration, as well as the uprising, unites the two nations. Poles and Lithuanians sought to preserve their identity which was based on the religion. The uprising broke out in Poland, but it also took place in Lithuania. It became the common matter of the former citizens of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It was one of the last ideas so strongly uniting the two nations. Simonas Katilius, from Kazliškės, the Šunskai Parish, struggled for the independence in the province of Augustów. The Platoon under his command fought bravely with the regiment of the Russian Tsarist Army. After the uprising Katilius could not stay in Lithuania because he was wanted by the occupation authorities. The landlords of the manor in Antanavas supported the uprising. The insurgents led by Katilius usually operated nearby. [From the publication]
