>Yedinstvo (literally: Unity, Russian: Eдинcтвo, Lithuanian: Vienybė, Polish: Jedność)[1] was a pro-soviet and anti-Sąjūdis movement in the Lithuanian SSR during the Perestroika era. The goals of the movement were similar to those of the Latvian and Estonian Internationalist Movements,[2] e.g. opposition to disintegration of the Soviet Union. Yedinstvo was supported by the Soviet military and the KGB.
>In addition to ethnic Russians, the organization had some success among the Polish minority in Lithuania, some of whom preferred Lithuania as a member of the Soviet Union. Yedinstvo went as far as to support forming a Polish autonomous region in southeastern Lithuania.[1] Some commentators suggested that the organization was more popular with the Polish minority than the Russophone minority of Lithuania,[3] which might have surprised the Poles of Warsaw, then seeking a de-communization in Poland. At the election to the Soviet Congress of People's Deputies, two Poles were elected to that body.
