The municipality is part of the Vilnius County and is located in southeastern Lithuania, next to the Belarus\u2013Lithuania border. The south-eastern border of the municipality with Belarus includes a distinctive salient of Lithuanian territory, known as the Dieveni\u0161k\u0117s appendix, almost completely surrounded by Belarus.\u0160al\u010dininkai is the largest town and the administrative center of the district with its newly built quarters, while the second largest town is Ei\u0161i\u0161k\u0117s, a more historical town, which was the center of the district and the largest town before 1972.It has significant Polish minority population in Lithuania, with three quarters of the population claiming Polish ethnicity.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Soviet occupation[edit]1990s[edit]Geography[edit]Climate[edit]Demographics[edit]Ethnicity[edit]References[edit]Bibliography[edit]History[edit]Soviet occupation[edit]\u0160al\u010dininkai district was formed in 1950, during the Soviet occupation of Lithuania, from 34 apylink\u0117s of the abolished Vilnius county. The district’s area was 957 km\u00b2. In 1950\u201353, the \u0160al\u010dininkai district was part of the Vilnius region. In 1962, \u0160al\u010dininkai and Ei\u0161i\u0161k\u0117s districts were merged into one and named Ei\u0161i\u0161k\u0117s district, while 5 neighborhoods were transferred to the Var\u0117na district. In 1972, Ei\u0161i\u0161k\u0117s district was renamed to \u0160al\u010dininkai district. There were 2 towns (Ei\u0161i\u0161k\u0117s, \u0160al\u010dininkai) in the district in 1974.YearsNumber of       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4apylink\u0117sin the districtSource1954\u2013197217197616197914198613198912The \u0160al\u010dininkai district’s official Communist newspaper was called Lenin’s Precepts (Russian: \u0417\u0430\u0432\u0435\u0442\u044b \u041b\u0435\u043d\u0438\u043d\u0430, romanized:\u00a0Zavety Lenina; Polish: Przykazania Lenina; Lithuanian: Lenino priesakai) and published in three languages: Russian, Polish and Lithuanian. Although officially, the absolute majority of the district’s residents were Poles, as many as 8,000 of the inhabitants were subscribed to the Russian-language newspaper, while only one and a half thousand – to the Lithuanian and Polish language versions. The newspaper spread hostile misinformation towards the re-emerging independent Lithuanian state of Lithuania in all language versions of its issues.1990s[edit]On 11 March 1990, when the Supreme Council of Lithuania declared the Act of the Re-Establishment of the State of Lithuania, some non-Lithuanians in the Vilnius Region, mostly members of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, began actively creating a separatist territorial entity under Moscow’s inspiration and guidance. From 1988 to 21 August 1991, the autonomists of the \u0160al\u010dininkai and Vilnius districts organized three congresses of the Poles of the Vilnius region. In order to disrupt the Lithuanian state at that time, both aforementioned district councils adopted dozens of anti-state resolutions. For example, by the decision of the \u0160al\u010dininkai district council, as many as 384 of the district’s young men were taken into the Soviet army during one and a half years and the work of the Lithuanian border guards was sabotaged in various ways. During this period, all Lithuanian government decisions were blocked in Vilnius and \u0160al\u010dininkai districts. The autonomists acted brazenly, because of Moscow’s direct support and because they were aided by the Soviet army, which was still stationed on Lithuanian soil. The attemps to create a Polish autonomy in the Vilnius Region collapsed when the Moscow-led Soviet leadership, which was the project’s main supporter, collapsed in the 1991 Soviet coup d’\u00e9tat attempt.In 1995, the \u0160al\u010dininkai district municipality was established instead of the \u0160al\u010dininkai district.Geography[edit]Geographically, the eastern part of the district is in the Ashmyany Highlands\u00a0[lt; be], the western part is in the Southeast Plain\u00a0[lt], while the southwestern part is in the Ei\u0161i\u0161k\u0117s Plateau\u00a0[lt]. The highest place (265\u00a0m (869\u00a0ft 5\u00a0in)) is near Katku\u0161k\u0117s\u00a0[lt], the lowest (121\u00a0m (397\u00a0ft 0\u00a0in)) is near \u0160al\u010dia, near the boundary between the \u0160al\u010dininkai and the Var\u0117na district municipalities.Through the district flows the river Merkys and its tributaries \u0160al\u010dia and Verseka\u00a0[lt], as well as the Nemunas tributary Gauja. In the \u0160al\u010dininkai district, there are 3 lakes\u00a0[lt] and 13 ponds. The Po\u0161konys Reservoir (Po\u0161koni\u0173 tvenkinys) with an area of 0.3\u00a0km2 on the Gauja River is located in the district.Forest coverage is 48%, with pine forests prevailing. The biggest forest is the R\u016bdninkai forest. The most important mineral deposits are gravel (Ja\u0161i\u016bnai, Pabar\u0117\u00a0[lt], Navakonys\u00a0[lt], Mantvili\u0161k\u0117s\u00a0[lt], Mikali\u0161k\u0117s\u00a0[lt]), sand (Pabar\u0117).Lithuanian Route 104 passes through the district.Climate[edit]The average temperature in January is -4.5 \u00b0C, while in July it is 17 \u00b0C.
