Antanas Merkys
Antanas Merkys was the last Prime Minister of the independent Lithuania, serving from November 1939 to June 1940. When the Soviet Union issued an ultimatum requesting Lithuania to accept a Soviet garrison, President Antanas Smetona was fled the country, leaving Merkys as interim president. Merkys apparently cooperated with the Soviet Union and illegally assumed the presidency himself. After three days, Merkys handed power to Justas Paleckis, who founded the Lithuanian People's Government. When Merkys tried to flee the country, he was captured and deported back to the Russian hinterland where he died in 1955 .
