Priest Silvestras Gimžauskas, born in 1845 in Kirdeikiai (Linkmenai District), was a poet, educator, and promoter of Lithuanian culture. He followed the ideas of Bishop Motiejus Valančius and actively participated in the temperance and book smuggling movements. After graduating from Vilnius Priest Seminary in 1876, he briefly studied at the St. Petersburg Spiritual Academy but had to discontinue his studies due to illness. In 1890, he published the first patriotic Lithuanian appeal, urging Lithuanians not to give up their language and culture. Gimžauskas worked in various parishes, including Žiežmariai, Vidiškės, Kietaviškės, and Valkininkai, where he actively promoted Lithuanian culture. In Valkininkai, he organized the largest center for the distribution of Lithuanian press in the Vilnius Governorate, supporting book smugglers and secret schools.
