Is the coat of arms of lithuania really Lithuanian?

[rupol2000]

I think that this coat of arms has nothing to do with Lithuania. This heraldry is found everywhere among the hussars, even in the Caucasus there was a Grodno hussar regiment with this symbol

The cross on the rider's shield is the Hungarian and Austro-Hungarian cross.

The Litvins have nothing to do with this. This symbolism most likely came to them after this territory was conquered by the Poles and included in the Grand Duchy of Poland(Rzeczpospolita) and this is just from their coat of arms:

National song of Grand Duchy of Poland(Rzeczpospolita)

Traditional song of the Polish hussaria



Some Lithuanian circles are also trying to ascribe this song to themselves:

Ukrainians, of course, can claim this heritage, since they themselves are poles by origin, but this does not apply to Lithuania.

Yes Lithuania once had a large empire. Gediminas apparently was a great warrior.

This is not Lithuania but Poland. Rzeczpospolita

Fuck, he also minuses. Once again, on the map, it is precisely the Rzeczpospolita
