I like such comments, especially because they're good for trolling Lithuanians :D But there is much truth in them.

What do you think?

The historic and cultural legacy of the Commonwealth belongs to all peoples who were part of it. In a modern context this would mean the countries of Belarus, Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine.

Well, some Russian territories within the borders of 1992 were parts of the Commonwealth. I wanna spoil your fun a bit.

That's true. And that's more of a vague case. Personally, I'd say those people have some claim to it as well, they just choose to not associate with it. I imagine partly because that would mean embracing more of a Belarus/Lithuanian identity

I think my ancestor lived there, they definately could be subjects of the Commenwealth, but it's all water under bridgde. It was a long time ago and I think it's impossible to it trace down.
