The Background to the Anglo-Soviet Treaty of 1942
In 1942, when drafting a strategic cooperation treaty between the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom, the foreign secretary Anthony Eden was responsible for preparing projects to solve the Balts’ problems, based on which the Baltic States could preserve limited sovereignty. This aspect has received little attention in historiography, seemingly because it is treated as an ephemeral, insignificant episode. It cannot be dismissed that the provision…
The Ethnographic Principle as a Phenomenon of History
The concept of the ethnographic principle is rarely found in the literature, and there is hardly a legal qualification for it. However, historical material (in cases of the Lithuanian, Czech, Bulgarian and Polish peoples) indicates that the ethnographic principle is a significant political and geopolitical phenomenon. This phenomen is especialy characteristic of the development of the peoples of the region of Central and Eastern Europe. First, th…
The Lithuania Buffer Problem of 1920
The Curzon Line is usually identified as the line of 8 December 1919 (similar to the current eastern border of Poland), running to the east of the Daugavpils-Vilnius-Hrodna railway. Typical historiographical texts state that the Soviet government decided to ignore the Curzon Line after 17 July 1920. But in fact, the Red Army crossed the Curzon Line on 13–14 July and continued to occupy Vilna (Vilnius). Another inaccuracy follows from this one. Th…

On Political Terror during the Soviet Expansion into Lithuania, 1918–1919
This article deals with a noticeable anomaly of Bolshevik expansion in Lithuania during 1918–1919: the refusal of the Soviet authorities to resort to terror to subdue the local population in order to export the world revolution. The author argues that the Soviets avoided political terror in Lithuania because they did not treat the Lithuanians as a nation capable of sustaining their own state. In fact, anti-Bolshevik forces employed more terror th…
Kritinis Požiūris Į Lietuvos Užsienio Politiką
In the article, Lithuanian foreign policy is analysed as paying specific attention to the link between the national identity and foreign policy. According to the authors, this link could be the key in analysing the question, if in truth Lithuanian foreign policy has reached a particular point, which could be named as international isolation or at least a tendency towards it, and if yes, – then why? Critically, authors are discussing what has been…
Once Again on Soviet Statehood in Lithuania in 1918–1919
This article makes the claim that by initiating the formation of the so-called Soviet statehood in Lithuania and Belarus (Litbel) the government of Soviet Russia did not intend ‘to set in motion the broad mass of Lithuania for the revolutionary struggle’ and tried to avoid social and national conflicts. However, the attitude of the Soviet government towards Lithuania underwent a change in the middle of 1919 when the advance of the Red Army to the…
The Kaleidoscope of Possibilities Facing Lithuanian Statehood in 1944
This study investigates viable alternatives to the situation that developed in Lithuania in 1944, i.e. alternatives to the variant of Soviet Lithuania encompassing Vilnius and Klaipėda. The conclusion is drawn that Lithuania’s sovereignty and territorial determination would have been dependent on the degree of Poland’s sovereignty and on a more rigid attitude from Roosevelt and Churchill towards Stalin
Lithuania in the Second World War
Reasons for the Programme.The public presentation of a research programme is not commonplace in the scholarly life of Lithuania, and therefore that alone means crossing a certain barrier.Furthermore, there is one more barrier, which is still more difficult and more significant, i.e., the start of a complex comparative study of Lithuania's situation in the Second World War.The latter barrier presupposes the former -the presentation for the public …
On the Political Power of the Act of 16 February 1918
Regarding the political power of the declaration of February 16, 1918
In this article, the genesis and development of an independent Lithuania-state is being discussed not only on the basis of the traditional methods of historical science, but also in respect to both geopolitical and politological points of view. Such an attempt is not new. At his time, Stasys Šalkauskis tried to solve the problem of Lithuanian self-dependence in a similar way, as if he was seeking an extension in the volume of reflection. (The art…
