Vilnius – Wilno – Вильнюс – Вільнюс – ווילנע – וילנה – these are only some of the formerly multilingual and multicultural Vilnius names. Catholic Lithuanians and Poles, Muslim Tatars, Jews, Orthodox Christian Russians and Byelorussians, Calvinists, Lutheran and Catholic Germans – these are only some of the groups that lived in Vilnius, and such definition of them by religion and ethnicity is only a crude simplification of the plethora of complicated identities.Multicultural past of the city is recorded in the old-town buildings, elements of their architecture, names of the streets, memorial plaques, even manhole covers and the advertising signs, such as the one in front of you. However, one has to be rather attentive to notice these glimpses of the past.
