In his recently published memoirs, former Lithuanian Minister E. Masiulis shares behind-the-scenes stories about notable political figures such as Dalia Grybauskaitė, Rolandas Paksas, and Artūras Zuokas, as well as foreign leaders from Russia and Belarus. He recounts instances where Grybauskaitė allegedly requested his assistance in securing favorable media coverage from 'MG Baltic' and how he helped a request from Gitanas Nausėda, the current President, to secure a position for a relative in the transport sector. These admissions raise questions about the influence and pressures within the political landscape of Lithuania.

Masiulis also discusses how, a quarter-century earlier, he received what he describes as a 'folder with valuable papers' from Eugenijus Gentvilas, the then-mayor of Klaipėda and now a member of the parliament, insinuating that it pertained to financial matters. Both Nausėda and Gentvilas have denounced Masiulis' claims as false, while Grybauskaitė has opted not to comment on these allegations. This conflict of narratives illustrates the often contentious nature of politics in Lithuania, where accusations of corruption and collusion can surface from past events.

The memoir not only sheds light on domestic political dynamics but also extends to mention interactions with Russian and Belarusian leaders, highlighting the broader geopolitical context in which Lithuanian politics operates. Masiulis seeks to protect himself legally, suggesting that his revelations might have more intricate implications for the current political framework, especially as they pertain to relations with neighboring countries and the domestic power struggles that continue to shape Lithuania's political discourse.
