Prisikėlimas military district

The Prisikėlimas military district (Lithuanian: Prisikėlimo apygarda; "Resurrection district") was a military district of Lithuanian partisans which were active from 1947 to 1969, and comprised the counties of Šiauliai, Joniškis, and partially - Kėdainiai, Panevėžys and Raseiniai. It formed out of the Kęstutis military district as managing its wide area presented difficulties. The newly created district prioritized connections with other partisan districts as well as the protection of partisan leadership.
