- "The new commander of the army, General Feliksas Baltušis-Žemaitis, who was sent from Russia, and the chief political leader, , began to work on the Bolshevization and disorganization of the army. There was no end to the rallies in the army... In order to suppress the national sentiment of the army, the political leadership of the army, through the army commander, demanded that the singing of the Lithuanian national anthem be banned and national flags be removed. Officers were fired from the army only by the orders of the political leadership. The officers were fired individually and in separate groups according to pre-prepared lists. Any intercession or protest had no meaning. On the contrary, intercession accelerated dismissal and often even arrest. (en)
- For example, when Colonel Konstantinas Dulksnys, the Chief of the 2nd Division of the General Staff, was dismissed, major Korotkikh, a Soviet military attaché, arrived at the Army Headquarters and demanded that Major Parelis be appointed to replace the dismissed Colonel Dulksnys. When I was surprised by this requirement and stated that the appointment of staff officers was within my competence, the military attaché strongly emphasized that this requirement of the Soviet mission would have to be met and that I myself was responsible for fulfilling that requirement."
