In 1949, through Jonas Žemaitis, a graduate of the Military School, the Lithuanian Partisan Movement was finally united. In February, he was elected the Chairman of the Presidium of the Council of the Movement of the Struggle for Freedom of Lithuania (according to the Declaration of the Council of the Movement of the Struggle for Freedom of Lithuania of February 16, 1949, after the Restoration of Independence of Lithuania, the Chairman of the Presidium held the position of the President of the Republic of Lithuania).
That year Jonas Žemaitis was commissioned as the Partisan General and led the movement until his betrayal on May 30, 1953, when his bunker was discovered. He was concussed by a grenade and arrested. In June 1954, Jonas Žemaitis was sentenced to death in a closed session and executed on November 26 in Butyrka prison in Moscow. His words, spoken after the sentence was pronounced, have come true.
“Just like the followers of mine, I think that the Soviet Union invaded our country with its armed forces… I consider this step of the Soviet government illegal. All the underground anti-Soviet activities, a participant of which I am, I consider righteous and non-criminal. I want to emphasize that as long as I have been leading the Lithuanian struggle for freedom, I have been making every effort to stick to the principles of humanity… No strenuous activities have been allowed... I am aware of the sentence to be pronounced. Still, I believe that the fight I have been leading for nine years will achieve the desired outcomes”.
On September 15, 2014, the Centre for Quality Assessment in Higher Education accredited The General Jonas Žemaitis Military Academy of Lithuania for the most extended term possible, i.e., six years. Prepared by the review team, the Institutional Review Report identified strengths, good practice, and recommendations for improvement.
