Argues against application of the term - genocide for the slaughter of Lithuanians by the Soviet Union. Donskis contends that it would be wrong historically, wrong legally, wrong conceptually. It is, rather, an example of our age`s inflation of concepts one that risks marginalising genocide. The essay also comes against the backdrop of the formulation of a law in Russia that would criminalise those who equate Stalin and Hitler or deny that the Red Army liberated eastern Europe from fascism.
