In Vilnius, the covers of the sewers were censored.
Covers with inscriptions “Lit. The SSR" in Russian can still be found on the Independence Square and in the vicinity of the Seimas. After this topic attracted media attention, the SSR abbreviations were cut off, only traces of grinding remained.

In this regard, the Seimas stated that "such inscriptions cut the eyes." “It is very ugly that Soviet attributes remain on the historic square,” Deputy Chancellor of Parliament Gediminas Alexonis said.
