It made it difficult for the government to take decisive action
The Lithuanian-Polish commonwealth declined for a number of reasons. The biggest one was the inability of the Parliament to make any reforms or pass any meaningful laws (apart from the 1st constitution in Europe), mostly because of the veto right. Another one was poor economy because of serfdom. Lastly, Russian influence.
Germany wanted to ensure its military was free to invade Poland. The USSR, for its part, annexed the western side of Poland and the Baltic countries.
The disagreement between the U.S. and the USSR over Poland emerged after World War II, primarily concerning the future political structure of the country. The U.S. advocated for free elections and a democratic government, reflecting its commitment to self-determination and democracy. In contrast, the USSR sought to establish a communist government in Poland, aiming to expand its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. This clash over Poland symbolized the broader ideological conflict that would lead to the Cold War.
At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, leaders Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin agreed on a framework for post-war Poland. They decided that Poland would have a new government that included both communists and non-communists, leading to free elections. However, the specifics of the arrangement allowed for significant Soviet influence, ultimately resulting in a communist government aligned with Moscow. This decision laid the groundwork for Poland's political landscape during the Cold War.

Lithuania's government had a good relationship with USA, so therefore USA 'asked' Russia to stop fighting against rebels in Lithuania. Russia 'agreed' because it didn't want to look like a bastard by invading small and weak country compared to Russia. Last attempt to invade Lithuania was on 1991 January 1, however, unsuccessful.
Lithuania is not a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Public schools in Polands are free. Private schools in Poland are paid.
Simply, because Poland is a free, independent country.

Russia itself did not take over Lithuania. It split parts amongst other countries during the First, Second and Third Partition, all of which happened in the late 1700s. Russia, Austria-Hungary and Germany divided up Polish and Lithuanian territories. Most of Lithuania was taken over by Russia. Lithuania did not proclaim their independence from Russia and Germany till February 16, 1918. After the start of World War II, Lithuania was "annexed" (persuaded by Soviet propaganda) into joining the Soviet Union rather than being invaded. 50 years passed, Lithuania claimed their independence from CCCP and they are currently free. Russia did not exactly invade Lithuania.
No! It isn't
