Vytautas Vičiulis
Vytautas Vičiulis (16 October 1951 in Skuodas district – 3 March 1989 in Klaipėda) was a Lithuanian painter and antiques restorer, better known for his self-immolation for political reasons. Protesting against the Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, he burned himself in Klaipėda close to the monument of Lenin in the late evening of 2 March 1989. Severely burned, he died in hospital at 9 pm on 3 March. Vičiulis used fuel to set himself ablaze. Remains of the flag of Lithuania were found on his body.
