Vitas Prabulis is a pseudonym of "Žaibas" (born December 13, 1949 in Szlinokiem) - Lithuanian partisan of the anti-Soviet underground, one of the most well-known partisans of the Lithuanian underground in the Suwalszczyzna region.

He came from the village of Mockova, his parents were owners of a large farm, which was recognized by the Soviet authorities as the kulaks. His brother Jonas Prabulis also worked in the underground.

In the post-war period, he also worked in the Suwalki region, where at that time many Lithuanians lived, where he could count on material support. For some time he was a member of the Polish guerrilla unit commanded by Jan Sadowski and Peter Burdin. In the last period of his life, he hid with Jurgis Kriksčiunas in the Shlinokiems. The hiding place was located in a dugout in the jungle in the pine forest of Józef Jakimowicz. The Prabulis family, Peronele Savickaite-Valinciene, Sigitas and Alfons Valincius, and the Pauliukonis family also helped them. They were planning to provide information on Stalin's persecution in Lithuania and the West.

He died as a result of the raid of the battalion of Rapid Reaction from Bialystok. Three rings of soldiers circled the wood in which he was hiding. The partisans were surprised at the meal preparation, desperate to commit suicide. Prabulis shot himself in the mouth and died on the spot, Kriksčiunas died on his way to the hospital. Vitas Prabulis was buried in an unknown place behind Suwałki. All those who helped the guerrillas met heavy reprisals in the form of jail, money laundering and displacement. Bibliography
