  Lithuanians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, due to a late medieval view that the Lithuanian language was unprestigious, a preference for the Polish language in the territories of the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth, as well as a preference for the German language in the territories of the former East Prussia (now Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia), the number of Lithuanian speakers shrank.
Lithuanian communities in other regions of the former Soviet Union were formed during the Soviet occupation; the numbers of Lithuanians in Siberia and Central Asia increased dramatically when a large portion of Lithuanians were involuntarily deported into these areas.

The main sources on the conditions of Lithuanian minorities in the Soviet Union and Soviet occupied countries are the Lithuanian underground publications, Lietuvos Katalikų Bažnyčios Kronika (Chronicle of the Catholic Church in Lithuania) and Aušra (The Dawn).
