On the basis of the issues stated above I see the future of the Eastern Europe Chapter as the main project of the Lithuanian Cultural Fund, because Law is the concentrated reflection of National Culture.<\/p>\n
Practical introduction of the ITNJ into society I see through making influence on the behavior of judges and civil servants by demanding PERSONAL responsibility for their decisions.<\/p>\n
We do it already now in two big cases against corrupt corporations for people to understand that ITNJ PHILOSOPHY is very PRACTICAL.\u00a0 I\u2019m registering the Eastern Europe Chapter according to all Lithuanian Law requirements to enable the chapter to be on the same level as every other governmental or non-governmental organization.<\/p>\n

I have joined the ITNJ team as the Eastern Europe Chapter Chair after ten years of maturation as a stubborn litigant defending my personal business and property from invasion of newly emerging corporations after the crash of the soviet regime.\u00a0 Those ten years were also a test of me as vice-president of the Lithuanian Cultural Fund being so sure that intellectuals are that force which is the right counterweight to the corrupt government members and courts.\u00a0 To tell the the truth, I was a bit euphoric about the inevitable and quick defeat of corrupt liars in the governmental corridors at the start of these ten years.\u00a0 Nevertheless it was namely euphoria and belief in
\ntruth that conditioned my further involvement in defense using legal means and led to the experience of today about the strength of human soul and mind.\u00a0 Below is my short life history before I got involved full time in law and practical defence of my property.<\/p>\n
Career history<\/h3>\n
In 1986 I was graduated from Vilnius State University (Lithuania) with excellent marks and was offered a position of a lecturer in the same University.\u00a0 September 1986 to 1988 taught English language and literature at Vilnius University, Kaunas faculty.\u00a0 After excellent evaluation of my first teaching year I was proposed to begin writing scientific study in new technologies of teaching.\u00a0 Accepting this proposal I also accepted a position as Director of a kindergarten to apply progressive teaching methods in practise.<\/p>\n
From 1988 to 1995 I was a Director of a kindergarten with a staff of 137 employees and approximately 300 children.\u00a0 At the same time I initiated a new trend in teaching \u2013 Montessori method\u00a0\u2013 as an experimental schooling in the same kindergarten.\u00a0 At the same time I was involved in the Montessori Society as a vice-president of it.\u00a0 Success was there and my kindergarten was entitled a status of an experimental school for best teaching methods.<\/p>\n
I was writing scientific and introductory articles for Lithuanian state media and becoming known as an expert in new learning methodologies.\u00a0 For that reason I was proposed a position of a Director of Kaunas Business Centre.<\/p>\n
Since 1995 I have served as a Director of Kaunas Business Centre with the youth\u2019s non-alcoholic disco centre operating together and in the same complex of buildings.\u00a0 I was leading these activities both as a director and a share-holder.\u00a0 Very modern business and life management technique \u2013 \u201cTime manager international\u201d \u2013 was also introduced by this business centre to Lithuanian society.\u00a0 At the same time I was involved in Lithuanian Cultural Fund as a vice-president.<\/p>\n
Since 2002 Kaunas Business Centre was involved into gathering and analyzing of law solutions in privatisation of governmental real-estate and bankruptcy problems as the greatest challenges of post-soviet societies.\u00a0 It also became my private business with a very valuable real estate in the center of the city.\u00a0 This was the main reason that attracted intellectual thieves to use \u201c legal\u201c methods seeking to overpower my property.\u00a0 I do not dare to qualify it a “tragedy”:\u00a0 it was a big challenge being left with very minimal means for living, but leading to the awareness of the anatomy of fraud in my country.<\/p>\n
