a young lithuanian woman was brutally murdered in the UK.
RIP.
Viktorija Sokolova murder: Teenage killer convicted after fingerprint was lifted from video in 'legal first'
Viktorija's mother and stepfather, Karolina Valantiniene and Saidas Valantinas, who had reported her missing, were eliminated from the inquiry at an early stage using CCTV footage.
The parents have last names with the same stem but different endingsk, -iene (mother) and -as (father)
Is that true for lithuanian names in general?

It's a bit old-school, but it's possible and (has been) used in many Slavic languages to indicate whether a woman is someone's Valantinas's daughter or wife: Valantinautie or Valantiniene, respectively (I believe).

Cuntlame, your assumptions are as bad as your grasp on simple numbers/stats and simple historical facts. 
You have never replied to me in another thread whom Russia invaded in 1918? Should I post this question over and over in a thread for sodomites from Ireland? 

Seriously, it's bad advertisement for the book which you are trying sell. One of these days, when you come back to your senses, I'll teach you basic facts and how to have a small talk with high society, so that it doesn't feel so painful for the people who read your posts

Your logic is like Putin's, amazing similarities.

1918, Russian morale zero, mutiny. They exited WWI. 
Oh, I forgot, they didn't teach you that at school.

No; you did. Read the 1st line.
Can't trust the Bolshies to stay in WWI. Any excuse.

"Workers of the world, unite!" (c)
It's sad to hear that your otherwise "pasifistic" views, especially in regard to humus fighters, are not applicable to much more horrible wars. 
Isn't is a clear example of hypocrisity?

Been called many things, but pacifist is not of them.
Russia is morally bankrupt. If you can't make it, steal it; if you can't steal it, bomb it.  A true Bolshevik serf.
