With her family, she was exiled to East Siberia by the Soviet regime in 1949. Danguolė spent her childhood and teenage years in the remote settlements of Russia. By 1958, her family had been released from exile in Siberia, but it was not until 1960 that Danguolė returned to Lithuania, having graduated from the Institute of Foreign Languages in Irkutsk.view less
