Vytautas Petrulis (born February 3, 1890, in Katelišės, near Vabalninkas; executed in 1942, near Uchta, RSFSR) was a Lithuanian politician, one of the main figures in the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party, and an accountant. He is often nicknamed "the father of the Litas" as it was during his term as Minister of Finance that the Lithuanian litas was introduced.[1]
In summer 1918, Petrulis became a member of the Council of Lithuania. Later he was acting Minister of Finance in the third Cabinet of Lithuania, Minister of Finance, Trade and Industry in the 7th, 8th, and 9th cabinets, and in 10th cabinet, Minister of Finance. He was Prime Minister of Lithuania in the 11th Cabinet, as well as Minister of Finance. He was the speaker of the Seimas from 1925 to 1926.[2]
On July 11, 1940, he was arrested by the Soviets and sent to Kaunas Prison. In 1942, he was executed by firing squad for anti-Soviet activities near Uchta.
