Simas Kudirka (9 April 1930 – 11 February 2023) was a Lithuanian sailor.[1] He is best known for the attempted defection from the Soviet Union in 1970 and subsequent activism against the Soviet regime in Lithuania. An important outcome of the incident was the creation of the improved guidelines for handling defections by American officials.
