Krizostomas Labanauskas

Krizostomas Labanauskas (codename Justas) was a Lithuanian anti-Soviet partisan and a commander of the Kęstutis military district from 1951 to 1952.[1][2][3] Before becoming leader, he was the commander of the partisan Birutė unit. Little else is known about him; having lived during the final years of the partisan movement, in 1956 he voluntarily surrendered to the MGB under the codename Kalinauskas, betraying some fellow partisans in the process.[4][5] He died in 2000 in Švenčionėliai.
