From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albertas Šimėnas (b. February 15, 1950, Papiliai) was Prime Minister of Lithuania for 3 days, then when the January Events happened he disappeared.

He reappeared a few days later when the turmoil of the Russian invasion had died down. Some people thought that he was kidnapped by the Russians, although afterwards he admitted that he went into hiding as he was scared by the prospect of an invasion.
