 | | Lithuania became one of the largest states of medieval Europe, including all of what is now Belarus, a large part of Ukraine, and sections of European Russia; at its furthest extent it touched the Black Sea. | | | During the German occupation (1941–44) of Lithuania in World War II, the considerable Jewish minority was largely exterminated. | | | After the death of Joseph Stalin in 1953, repression eased somewhat, and ethnic Lithuanians became prominent in the Communist elite. |
