Antanas Kazakavicius was a resister who was distinguished by the length of time he spent literally underground, in the underground bunkers the resistance built as bases for anti-Soviet sabotage and armed sorties. For them the ‘underground’ was not a metaphor. As he describes it is where and how they lived. Fearing capture and torture these resisters could not develop any knowledge of or camaraderie with the men they lived with month after month.
