In a referendum on May 10 and 11, 2003, 89.9 % of the electors voted in favour of joining the EU. 63.3 % of eligible ( persons voted. President Rolandas Paksas said of this result, "I am proud that l Lithuania has passed this test of democracy." For him, the referendum was the most important test for the electoral maturity in the history of his country. EU-president Romano Prodi hailed the consent of the Lithuanian people as an "historic vote" which has underlined the importance of Lithuania's joining the EU. The Lithuanian government's determined publicity campaign focussed on farmers, women and pensioners contributed to this success. The government was supported by the Catholic Church. The Church referred, inter alia, to the position of Pope John Paul II who considered the EU to be the guarantor of peace. The Pope had spoken of the bigger states helping the smaller ones. Lithuania joining the EU is based upon the country's considerable I development since the restoration of sovereignty in August, 1991. !. Lithuania's political stability has been augmented by a sound economic growth showing the highest rise (6.7%) of all the candidate states wishing to join the EU in 2002. Lithuania's exports developed surprisingly strongly, with increases of 13.21% and 11 % between 2000 and 2002.

The average standard of living I in Lithuania is only 30 % of the average living standard in the EU. .i According to official statements, the unemployment rate at the end of 2002 was 10.9 %. Despite all the euphoria, observers will perceive Lithuania only as a "second class" member of the EU.

  • The Concept of Love in Lithuanian Folklore and Mythology
    THE CONCEPT OF LOVE IN LITHUANIAN FOLKLORE AND MYTHOLOGY Doc dr. Daiva Šeškauskaitė Department of Social and Humanities Sciences Faculty of Forestry and Landscape Planing Kaunas Forestry and Environmental Engineering University of Applied Sciences Lithuania ABSTRACT Love is a reserved feeling, meaning amiability and complete internecine understanding. The concept of love has always been important for human world outlook and attitude. Love can have different meaning and expression – for some people it is a nice, warm feeling, a way of action and behaviour, for others it is nothing more than a sexual attraction. As there are different perceptions of love, there also exist few common love manifestations: love can be maternal, childish, juvenile, sexual. Love can also be felt for a home land, own nation, home. Naturally love can be expressed through the particular rituals, symbols and signs. Folk songs introduce four main lover characteristics: beauty, sweetness, kindness and boon. The later feature means that a girl/ boy is supposed to be well-set, to be pleasant and comfortable to touch which is very important when choosing a wife or a husband. Love in folklore is expressed through the common metaphorical and allegorical symbols, it doesn‘t sound as explicit word – more like a metaphor or epithet. Love in folklore can be perceived and felt very differently. Love like an action – love like... special person, essential possession. Prime personal characteristics, such as kindness, tenderness, humility, are the ones to light the love fire as well as beauty, artfulness, eloquence also help. Love is supposed to lead to the sacred sacrament of marriage.

  • Structural-Semantic Analysis and Some Peculiarities of Lithuanian Novelle Tales
    STRUCTURAL-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS AND SOME PECULIARITIES OF LITHUANIAN NOVELLE TALES Radvilė Racėnaitė Abstract: The genre diversity of narrative folklore is represented in interna- tionally accepted classification of tales and legends proposed by Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson. However, the preparation of national catalogues based on Aarne-Thompson system encounters problems, given that there exist narra- tives with contradictory genre particularities and they do not easily fall into the limits of one genre group. In her search for more objective criteria for classifica- tion, the compiler of the revised “Catalogue of Lithuanian narrative folklore” Bronislava Kerbelytė has taken the above-mentioned imperfections into con- sideration. She has worked out an innovatory structural-semantic analysis of folk texts, based on the investigation of structural traits and on underlying semantic features of folk narratives. We will base our investigation on the prin- ciples of this analysis, as it seems to have prospects. The article aims at dis- closing the main structural and semantic peculiarities of Lithuanian novelle tales by means of structural-semantic and comparative method of research. The theoretical statements are illustrated by the so-called “Tales of Fate” / “die Schicksalserzählungen” (AT 930–949), which define some aspects of an atti- tude towards fate and death in Lithuanian traditional culture. The assumption is proposed that structural-semantic analysis enables to define the function, the boundaries, and the development of folklore genres more precisely. Key words: death, fate, Lithuanian novelle tales, narrative folklore, seman- tics, structure, tales of fate INTRODUCTION The genre diversity of narrative folklore is represented in internationally ac- cepted classification of tales and legends proposed by Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson.

The Teutonic Order and the Baltic Crusades By Alex Eidler Senior Seminar: Hst 499 Professor David Doellinger Western Oregon University June 5, 2019 Readers Professor Elizabeth Swedo Professor David Doellinger Copyright © Alex Eidler, 2019 Eidler 1 Introduction When people think of Crusades, they often think of the wars in the Holy Lands rather than regions inside of Europe, which many believe to have already been Christian. The Baltic Crusades began during the Second Crusade (1147-1149) but continued well into the fifteenth century. Unlike the crusades in the Holy Lands which were initiated to retake holy cities and pilgrimage sites, the Baltic crusades were implemented by the German archbishoprics of Bremen and Magdeburg to combat pagan tribes in the Baltic region which included Estonia, Prussia, Lithuania, and Latvia.1 The Teutonic Order, which arrived in the Baltic region in 1226, was successful in their smaller initial campaigns to combat raiders, as well as in their later crusades to conquer and convert pagan tribes.

  • Transformations of the Lithuanian God Perk\Nas
    Transformations of the Lithuanian God Perk\nas Nijol] Laurinkien] In the article, later substitutions for the god Perkunas are analysed. Most frequently appear the names of the prophet Eliah (Alijošius) and St. George (Jurgis) as the Christian replacements diffused from the Lithuanian region, which borders on Belarus where converting to Christianity began earlier. With the fall of the old culture a great many traditions indicated the god of thunder as undergoing a complete transformation into new characters, mostly those of modern religion. Lithuanian mythology also gives evidence of similar processes. The article aims at an analysis of further equivalents of Perk'nas, which reflect the mentioned process, as well as an attempt to delineate the possible reasons for these substitutes obtained by the god of thunder and their prevalence in Lithuania. The most common substitutes of Perk'nas are the prophet Elijah (Elijošius, Alijošius) and St George (Jurgis). These Christian characters as equivalents to the god of thunder are also known among eastern Slavs. Therefore, a logical question follows on the nature of such a peculiar concurrence, which will receive due attention in the article. Lithuanian folklore often observes Elijah mentioned together with Enoch (both, as the Bible suggests, having been so close to God that they were brought to dwell in heaven when still alive). Legends about Elijah and Enoch feature them being related to the motifs of old religion and those of Christianity (LPK 3459). From the latter, associations of the mentioned characters with the god of thunder can be obviously defined: when Elijah or Enoch rides in the heaven, it thunders and lightning is flashing: Seniai, labai seniai, kada dar Adomo ir Ievos nebuvę, Dievas sutvcrc AlijošiC ir Anoką.
