Vytautas Vičiulis (October 16, 1951 in Skuodas district – March 3, 1989 in Klaipėda) was a Lithuanian painter and antiques restorer, better known for his self-immolation for political reasons. Protesting against the Soviet occupation of the Baltic States, he burned himself in Klaipėda close to the monument of Lenin in the late evening of March 2, 1989. Severely burned, he died in hospital at 9 pm on March 3. Vičiulis used fuel to set himself ablaze. Remains of the flag of Lithuania were found on his body.
