This is in Latvia, the uniform says "Ugunsdzēsējs" on the back, which, obviously, means firefighter in Latvian.

Idk it's not really talked about that much. I don't know about Lithuania though. I think the people of the 2 countries just haven't really had the time to heal since we've regained independence from USSR only about 30 years ago. The countries suffered heavy population loss in WW2 and we haven't bounced back yet. Both population and economy-wise. Also the climate. (Here I am talking about Latvia, idk about Lithuania) We only about 2-3 months of warm weather (25-35 celcius idk how much that is in farenheit) About a quarter of the year is a chilly, wet, gray mess (1-2 fall and 1 spring months) and the grey Soviet architecture doesn't help.

Edit: watch the geography now video about Latvia. It has explained it quite well. The only exception is the pronunciations. Those were terrible. :)

Edit 2: feel free to ask questions in my dm's. I'm no expert but I'd be glad to answer
