Famous Litvak (Lithuanian Jew) -
Zemah Shabad
First of all, he was a good doctor. He also created and headed the branch of the Society for the Protection of the Health of the Jewish Population. The society carried out various activities and created a sanatorium for sick children. It was located on the territory of present-day Antakalnis. After Dr. Shabad's death in 1935, the camp was named after him, and a bust of him was erected on its grounds.
Another very important type of his activity was educating society about hygiene, strengthening the immune system, and preventing diseases.
To this end, he founded and edited a newspaper, which was called in translation from Yiddish “People's Health.” Shabad made a significant contribution to the establishment of secular Jewish schools in Vilnius, where teaching was conducted in the Yiddish language. It was one of the first such schools in Eastern Europe.
He also founded evening courses for women, participated in the activities of the historical and ethnographic society, the JIVO Institute, and communicated with Albert Einstein, the future President of Lithuania Antanas Smetona, ethnologist Bronislav Pilsudski and other famous people.
Zemah Shabat was such a popular medic that he became the prototype of the famous Doctor Aibolit. There is a pedestal of him in Vilnius, with the inscription in Yiddish: “Zemah Shabad, great friend of children.” This bust can be seen today in the Vilna Gaon Museum of Jewish History.

Kai buvau mažas ir gyvenau Antakalny su tėvais, koridoriuje buvo durys su išdrožinėtu užrašu ,,naxui”. Viduj buvo sandėliukas su visokiom atliekom, pelėkautais, bulvėm ir panašiai.
Klasiokus statydavo į kampą kai neklausydavo, o mane siųsdavo naxui. Ir eidavau. Treji pelėkautai, dvi svogūnų kasos, penki vienkartiniai puodeliai, grėblys.

Man taip atrodo, jog visi kaimynai su kuriais mano butas dalijasi kokia tai siena, lubomis ar grindimis turi po šunį ir dėl to mano bute iš visų pusių skalija, kaip kokiam kaime saulei nusileidus.
Dar yra kaimynas kuris geria ir rėkia iš miegamojo pusės.

Вильнюсские районы #Антакальнис (#Антоколь по-польски) и #Жирмунай расположены на разных берегах и построены в разное время: первый, будучи пригородом, начал формироваться ещё в XV веке (отсюда, кстати, произошла фамилия Антокольский), а второй появился значительно позднее — в 1960-е. Тогда же, в середине шестидесятых их связал Жирмунский #мост, к которому в ходе реконструкции в 2001 году привязали большое железное #яблоко. #Antakalnis (#Antokol in Polish) is one of the oldest part of #Vilnius, it appeared in 15th century as suburbs. #Žirmūnai is much younger — this neighborhood built from 1960s. They divided apart with #Neris (#Vilija) #river. There's a #bridge opened in 1965 to connect these neighborhoods. Big steel #apple suspended from a bridge was added during reconstruction in 2001. #вода #река #Вилия #Нярис #набережная #зима #январь #Вильнюс #Литва #water #riverbank #winter #january2022 #january #Lithuania #Lietuva (at Žirmūnai Bridge) https://www.instagram.com/p/CY89iCtIbE1/?utm_medium=tumblr

VMKL - new cyber Vilnius piece I recently finished. Took this shot while on a walk through antakalnis. The situation with Covid19 in Lithuania is not doing great and a lot of blame is being pushed around as to who is at fault. Hospitals are becoming more and more strict and it's slowly becoming more difficult to gain access. All of this made me think of a run down militarized hospital of the future when inevatably another pandemic will strike which could be much more dangerous and way more severe measures would have to be implemented. Lets at least try to let go of all the built up anger and frustration and just accept that hundreds of people in power are trying to deal with the situation as best they can. It's foolish to asume that any of us would do a better job. Stay safe guys! This too shall pass 💙 #vilniusofficial #vilniusgram #vilniuscity #antakalnis #vilniausmiestas #lithuania🇱🇹 #lithuania_pics #lithuaniahq #hospitalart #cyberpunkedit #cyberfuturepunk #cyberart #futurism #pandemiclife #digitalartists #photoshopping #photoshopart #surrealart #manipulationedit #soldierlife #lockdownart #quarantineart (at Vilniaus Miesto Klinikinės Ligoninės Antakalnio Filialas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVCcw52oHVT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Saules kapines in Antakalnis, Vilnius.
Have some views (mostly in winter) to this cemetery from the windows of my office. It took me a while to notice this wasn’t part of the big Antakalnio kapines, and last week finally i had time to visit it.
One of my polish friends told me he had been there quite some years ago, restoring some polish graves, there are plenty of those in there.
I kinda liked it... it’s small, it’s old, it’s chaothic and nature grows wild in there :)
