Antanas Bakšys, also known by his codenames Klajūnas, Arvydas, Germantas, Senis (13 June 1923 – 17 January 1953) was a Lithuanian anti-Soviet partisan and a commander of the Kęstutis military district.

He also was a substitute leader for Jonas Žemaitis and a secretary of the Union of Lithuanian Freedom Fighters (LLKS) presidium.

He established the underground Vyčiai Union, a movement dedicated to continuing Lithuanian resistance under more intellectual means.

However, the legal case did not proceed and Bakšys was instead sent to work in the mines of the Moscow region coal basin in Tula.

In the summer of 1946 Bakšys along with four other Lithuanians successfully escaped to Lithuania on foot and via transport trains.

Bakšys was soon released, but could not stand a life of constant persecution and surveillance, and as such joined the Kęstutis military district.

When Žemaitis was sick, Bakšys wrote to other leaders to discuss potential new leadership candidates.

[10] The union was meant to retain the traditions of the LLKS and to unite legally living resistance members as well as partisans.

The Union's 1952 program, based on Lithuania's 1922 constitution, stated that "the further goal of the struggle is the defense of the nation's right to decide its own future destiny by choosing a new order and structure of the government apparatus and ensuring the conditions for rapid democratic cultural progress".

The largest farms were supposed to be 30ha, and other lands would be confiscated in an attempt to fund small landowners and landless people.
