Academic Community of the Stefan Batory University - an immigrant association existing in the years 1948-1987 in London. The task of the USB Academic Community was to continue the scientific work in the conditions of emigration, centered around the history of Vilnius, Vilnius and the former Grand Duchy of Lithuania, cultivating Vilnius traditions and maintaining community bonds. History

On 24 November 1948, a meeting of former scholars and pupils of the Stefan Batory University in Vilnius took place in London. An association was established there under the name of the Academic Community of the Stefan Batory University. According to the assumptions, this organization was to gather all USB lecturers and alumni in exile. According to the statute, a member of the Community could be any academic or administrative worker of USB, as well as a graduate and student who had been a student at the University of Vilnius for at least one semester. This also involved listeners of secret USB in 1940-1944. At the head of the USB Academic Community there was a council, at the head of which was the oldest age of USB students, or senior. Regardless of the honorary function of a senior, the Council was headed by the chairman together with the Presidium (in the years 1948-1986 Bohdan Podoski). The statute stipulated that Stefan Batory University was not liquidated in legal terms and the USB Academic Community in Exile was its symbolic continuation. The activity of the USB community boiled down to public lectures. Most of these lectures were published in the periodical "Alma Mater Vilnensis". In 1987, the operation of the USB Academic Community was completed. Seniors of the USB Academic Community Bibliography

Myrmex Indikos, pol. Indian ant - an alleged species of gigantic ants (according to Herodot's description, larger than foxes, but smaller than dogs). The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous.
