V. Valiušaitis claims that he worked part-time at the center and already on the first day of work he felt the hostility of some LGGRTC employees who became an advisor to the director of the Adas Jakubauskas institution.
“I was in the mood of some colleagues, as if I had committed something against them, as if they had occupied someone’s private ‘castle’ and were illegally located there,” says the philologist and publicist on my Facebook account.
It claims that it did not understand the reasons for such an approach, arguing that LGGRTC had no right to decide.
The news portal lrt.lt reported that last week some of the researchers from the Genocide Center approached the general director of the institution Adas Jakubauskas and the leaders of the Seimas, saying that after the change of direction of the center, the investigation became ideological and politicized. Employees also expressed concern that the center has a tense emotional climate, with experienced historians leaving work due to pressure from management.
The application emphasizes that the appointment of V. Valiušaitis as senior advisor to the Director General by creating a new position and drafting new job descriptions specifically for this person, introducing a qualification requirement not related to the activities of the Center is grounds of concern. .
“This position has broad powers to consult and evaluate the work of history professionals, to form the centre’s research directorates, to control the work of the centre’s editorial department, which exceeds the competencies of department directors and heads of department, “says the address.
The appeal asserts that LGGRTC employees are concerned about the underestimation of historical science by directing historical research toward ideologization and politicization. It is noted that the management of the LGGRTC Center encourages the public to participate in the “defense of history” and the “memory wars”, in addition to making irresponsible and biased statements and interviews on behalf of the Center.
In June last year, A. Jakubauskas, president of the Union of Tatar Communities of Lithuania and professor at Mykolas Romeris University, was appointed General Director of LGGRTC.
