Yedinstvo (literally: Unity, Russian: Единство, Lithuanian: Vienybė, Polish: Jedność)[1] was a pro-soviet and anti-Sąjūdis movement in the Lithuanian SSR during the Perestroika era.
In addition to ethnic Russians, the organization had some success among the Polish minority in Lithuania, some[specify] of whom preferred Lithuania as a member of the Soviet Union.
Yedinstvo went as far as to support forming a Polish autonomous region in southeastern Lithuania.
[1] Some commentators suggested that the organization was more popular with the Polish minority than the Russophone minority of Lithuania,[3] which might have surprised the Poles of Warsaw, then seeking a de-communization in Poland.
The movement lost influence after the August Coup, which its leaders had supported.
