 </span></blockquote>yes. the map shows the Lithuanian-Russian border. However untill <br/>
Russia ratifies the treaty no such thing as Lithuanian Russian border <br/>
exists. So currently the Soviet republican border acts as the <br/>
administrartion line between Lithuania and Russia. That is exatly <br/>
what creates the Vistytis Farms situation, currently landing the <br/>
three families on the other side of the administrative line. When the <br/>
treaty is ratified the real border will place those few hectares in <br/>
Lithuania. Administrative line follows the coast of the lake and only <br/>
gives a 40-something hectare corner of the lake off of the Vistytis <br/>
town to Lithuania. The border will go as seen in the map, and <br/>
Lithuania will lease 525 ha of the lake for no less than 49 years, <br/>
which seems to me will divide the lake more or less equally. I&#39;ve <br/>
also heared, but seems not true to me, that the Soviet border gives <br/>
the whole of Nemunas river to Russia. But that border is still valid <br/>
and the two countries seem to hold the middle as the administrative <br/>
line.</div>
