  • Repatriation of Poles from Lithuania, 1944–1947
    chapter 7 Between Poland and Lithuania: Repatriation of Poles from Lithuania, 1944–1947 Vitalija Stravinskienė Introduction “Nostalgia is an illness that is common to everyone who came from Vilnius. … Only we can understand this longing for ‘Lithuania’ our fatherland.” This is how an author described his emotions in a letter to a friend sent from Poland to Lithuania in the late 1950s.1 This chapter tries to explain who those people who longed for Vilnius were, and how and why they ended up in Poland. It deals with the massive displacement of about 160,000 Poles from Soviet Lithuania to Poland between 1944 and 1947. The migration of Poles from Soviet Lithuania to the new “Peoples Republic of Poland,” shifted several hundred kilometres to the West and firmly under the control of the ussr, had been initiated by Joseph Stalin before the end of the war. It was a highly dynamic process that involved many people. Yet it must also be seen in the broader context of other processes that took place in Lithuania at the same time: brutal Sovietisation, massive repressions, radical economic and social changes, etc. This kind of comprehensive approach is necessary to reconstruct a more objective picture of the course and conse- quences of the Stalin-led population transfer of Poles from re-occupied Lithuania to Poland. The epicentre of this transfer was Vilnius and that part of Vilnius region that was incorporated into the Republic of Lithuania in 1939. More specifically, it was the city of Vilnius and the adjacent districts of Švenčionys, Vilnius and Trakai.

  • Accentuation Models of Disyllabic Nouns in the Southern Aukštaitian Dialect
    ISSN 1392–1517. Online ISSN 2029–8315. KALBOTYRA. 2016 • 68 DOI: https://doi.org/10.15388/Klbt.2016.10321 Accentuation models of disyllabic nouns in the Southern Aukštaitian dialect Vilija Ragaišienė Institute of the Lithuanian Language P. Vileišio g. 5 LT-10308 Vilnius, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The article provides an analysis of the accentuation of disyllabic nouns in the Southern Aukštaitian (SAuk) dialect spoken in Southern Lithuania (Alytus, Lazdijai, Varėna, Šalčininkai, Druskininkai and Trakai districts). The term pietų aukštaičiai (southern Aukštaitians) was coined by scholars; because of certain phonetic peculiarities of the dialect, the inhabitants of southern Lithuania consider themselves to be dzūkai (Dzūkians). The SAuk has been of special interest to both dialectologists and Baltic language specialists for a long time. The archaic grammatical forms, syntactic constructions, phonetic, accentual and lexical peculiarities that are features of these dialects are intertwined with new phenomena and thus reveal many stages of the development of the dialect of the Southern Aukštaitians, which in turn can be of help in finding answers to some unanswered questions about the development and usage of language. For this reason more attention and research has been devoted to the SAuk dialect and its broader connections with language as a whole. The article analyses the tendencies of the accentuation parallels of disyllabic nouns with ā, ē, a and i̯ a1 stems in the SAuk dialect. Drawing on audio and written sources dating from 1952–2015, the spread of the accentuation variants of the words and their forms in the same subdialect, separate subdialects and/or their groups are discussed; the accentuation patterns of disyllabic nouns with the productive ā, ē, a and i̯ a1 stems that are stressed in various ways are described, and the nature of their prevalence in the area of the dialect is established.

  • Pilies Street in Medieval Vilnius 3 4 Pilies Street Is One of the Oldest in the City of Vilnius, the Capital of the 5 Grand Duchy of Lithuania
    2021-4367-HIS 1 Between Greeks and Latins: 2 Pilies Street in Medieval Vilnius 3 4 Pilies Street is one of the oldest in the city of Vilnius, the capital of the 5 Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The street’s name is connected with its starting 6 point, the territory of the castles of the grand dukes. In the early 15th century, 7 Vilnius City Hall was erected at the south end of Pilies Street. Pilies Street is 8 not only an inseparable part of the city’s earliest spatial structure, but is 9 also directly connected with the Christian communities of Vilnius, when it 10 was still a pagan city. During the earliest period of the city’s development 11 Christian immigrants, both Orthodox and Catholic, gathered around Pilies 12 Street. The paradox is that very little information is available about the 13 emergence and formation of the central street of the city.
