In 1950 Albertynas enrolled with the Kaunas gardening technical school. 1952 he was arrested and sentenced to 10 years of incarceration for breach of Article 58 of the penal code. Albertynas was released in 1954, after the death of Josef Stalin, and continued his studies. In 1961 he started working on a collective farm in Marijampolė district and worked there for the next thirty years.[1]

With Lithuania moving towards independence, Albertynas started participating in the activities of Sąjūdis.[1]

gollark: Somehow enabling iLO (HP's remote management thing) in the "shared network port" mode has resulted in my server completely failing to connect to my network at all (apart from the iLO thing) and - somehow - my computer changing its IP to an unrelated one I don't have configured anywhere and failing to connect to anything.
