 The organization was created by Romualdas Ozolas and has been led for many years by Kazimieras Garšva.Its program, elaborated in a monograph by Garšva, is based on the research that the big part of the Polish minority in Lithuania are in fact Polonized Lithuanians and that their true identity had been erased by years of foreign occupation.To counter such situation, the organization proposed that they should be brought back to their Lithuanian roots by removing any trace of alien (that is, Polish or Russian) textbooks, teachers, symbols and traditions.
