The interview is unfortunately only available in Polish but I’m sure someday soon AI will be able to quickly parse it into whichever language you need.

A fraction of our interview is presented below, but like with the Baltic interviews prior, it too was garbled up so only the clear, important bits made it through the editing process. You can navigate through topic timestamps by watching the below directly on YouTube. Fresh out of Vilnius, our cousin took us on a …
