Taip greièiausiai atsitiko dël valstybingumo praradimo XX amþiuje ir kariuomenës bibliotekø informacinio darbo pa- tirties stokos. Majoro Petro Jakðto bibliografijos rodyklæ sumanyta iðleisti Vilniaus universiteto Komunikacijos fakulteto dëstytojø, Vilniaus univer- siteto bibliotekos ir Ðilutës Frydricho Bajoraièio vieðosios bibliotekos bib- liografø bendromis pastangomis. Jos projektas buvo aptartas 2003 m. ru- dená vykusioje tarptautinëje konferencijoje Knygos nuosavybës þenklai kaip knygos kultûros paveldas. Sumanymà parëmë Generolo Jono Þemai- èio Lietuvos karo akademija. Bibliografijos rodyklë Majoras Petras Jakðtas: karininkas, tyrëjas, þur- nalistas, bibliofilas apima jo publikuotus ir nepublikuotus darbus ir ávairià medþiagà apie já, paraðytà arba paskelbtà iki 2004 metø birþelio. Rengiant rodyklæ buvo panaudoti Vilniaus universiteto absolventës Jurgitos Bal- tronaitës ir prof. Domo Kauno sudaryti P. Jakðto kûrybos ir literatûros apie já sàraðai, Ðilutës Frydricho Bajoraièio vieðosios bibliotekos darbuo- tojø surinkta ið Ðilutës rajono spaudos su P. Jakðtu susijusi medþiaga; taip pat de visu perþiûrëti Vilniaus universiteto bibliotekos fonduose esantys tarpukario metø Lietuvos kariuomenës Vyriausiojo ðtabo periodiniai ir kiti leidiniai bei gausi bibliotekos Rankraðèiø skyriaus medþiaga. Jo fon- duose laikomas tik dël laimingo atsitiktinumo iðlikæs ir 1985 m. paties P. Jakðto perduotas asmeninis archyvas. Seniausias ðio archyvo dokumen- tas datuojamas 1784 metais, taèiau dauguma jø yra ið Lietuvos pirmosios nepriklausomybës laikotarpio. Pirmajame rodyklës skyriuje Petro Jakðto kûryba subibliografuoti jo darbai, kuriuos sudaro kûriniø rankraðèiai, laiðkai, knygos, tyrinëjimai ir apþvalgos bei nedidelës apimties informacijos ir straipsniai, paskelbti lie- tuviø periodinëje spaudoje. Atsiminimuose P. Jakðtas yra prasitaræs, kad 1916 m. kartu su bûsimuoju aktoriumi Stasiu Pilka rengë Rusijoje atsi- dûrusiø moksleiviø rankraðtiná laikraðtëlá Erðkëtis ir jam ðiek tiek raðë. Laikraðtëlá pavyko surasti Maironio lietuviø literatûros muziejuje Kaune ir nustatyti, kad jame P. Jakðtas paskelbë du raðinëlius. Skyriaus medþiaga iðdëstyta chronologine tvarka, o metø ribose pagal abëcëlæ. Renkant medþiagà ið periodinës spaudos, daugelio be- vardþiø straipsniø P. Jakðto autorystë nustatyta ið periodiniø leidiniø tu- 4 riniø, kuriuos metø pabaigoje gana kruopðèiai parengdavo redaktoriai ir iðsiuntinëdavo prenumeratoriams. Tokiø straipsniø apraðuose lauþtiniuose skliaustuose paþymëta: be paraðo. Atkreiptinas dëmesys, kad, renkant medþiagà ið 1930 metø Kario, naudotasi paties P. Jakðto rankraðtinëmis autorystës nuorodomis asmeninës bibliotekos þurnalo komplekte, todël apraðø ið minëtø metø yra gerokai daugiau. Pirmajame rodyklës skyriuje rankraðtinë medþiaga skirstoma á P. Jakðto kûrinius ir á jo raðytus laiðkus. Kûriniai iðdëstyti jø paraðymo chronologine tvarka. Raðiniai be datos suregistruoti skiltyje Be metø. Prie kiekvieno nuro- dyta dokumento saugojimo vieta ir ðifras. Áprastinë nuorodos Vilniaus univer- siteto bibliotekos Rankraðèiø skyrius santrumpa (VUB RS) nekartojama. Keleto P. Jakðto darbø saugojimo vieta nurodoma Ðilutës Frydricho Bajoraièio vieðosios bibliotekos Knygos muziejus. Didþioji dalis P. Jakðto kûriniø yra rankraðèiai, vienas kitas maðinraðtis, o dar kitø saugomi ir rankraðèiai, ir maðinraðèiai. Tokiu atveju, kai yra saugomas kûrinio rankraðtis ir maðinraðtis viename vienete, apraðe po metø nurodomas rankraðèio lapø skaièius, o po kabliataðkio maðinraðèio lapø skaièius. Jeigu rankraðèio ir maðinraðèio ðif- ras sutampa, apraðo gale nurodomas vieneto ðifras, o jeigu rankraðtis ir maðin- raðtis saugomas skirtinguose vienetuose pirma nurodomas rankraðèio ðif- ras, po jo skliausteliuose maðinraðèio lapai ir ðifras. P. Jakðto raðyti laiðkai iðdëstyti adresatø abëcëlës tvarka. Antrajame skyriuje sudëti archyviniai ðaltiniai apie P. Jakðtà. Jame atsispindi visas Vilniaus universiteto bibliotekos Rankraðèiø skyriuje lai- komas P. Jakðto dokumentinis palikimas (fondo signatûra F235). Já suda- ro: P. Jakðto rankraðtiniai kûriniai, ðeimyniniai, asmeniniai, mokslo metø, tarnybinës veiklos dokumentai, susiraðinëjimas, fotografijos, atsiminimai ir kita medþiaga. P. Jakðto fonde yra ir jo þmonos Sofijos Jakðtienës (Zalu- baitës) bei jos sesers mokytojos Bronës Zalubaitës dokumentø. P. Jakðto darbø ir dokumentø apie já yra ir kitur: Lietuvos mokslø akademijos, Ðilutës uþdarosios akcinës bendrovës Ðilutës automobiliø ke- liai archyvuose ir Ðilutës Frydricho Bajoraièio vieðosios bibliotekos Kny- gos muziejuje. Plaèiau ði medþiaga bus aptarta rodyklës antrajame sky- riuje Archyviniai ðaltiniai apie P. Jakðtà. Archyvinio pobûdþio medþiagos, ypaè laiðkø, yra ir privaèiuose rinkiniuose. Taèiau ji kol kas nëra suregist- ruota ir susisteminta, todël ðioje rodyklëje nepateikiama. Skyriaus Publikuoti ðaltiniai apie P. Jakðtà medþiaga yra grupuojama á tris laikotarpius, o juose literatûra iðdëstyta abëcëlës tvarka. Èia átrauk- tos ir knygos bei straipsniai, kur trumpai minimas ar cituojamas P. Jakðtas; prie tokiø áraðø nurodyti puslapiai, kuriuose jis minimas. Verta dëmesio pastaba, kad P. Jakðto knygø ekslibrisas, pieðtas dai- 5 lininko Gerardo Bagdonavièiaus, ávertintas labai anksti, dar 1928 m., todël rodyklëje jis apraðytas atskirame skyrelyje. Skyriø Literatûra apie P. Jakðtà sudaro tyrinëjimai ir apþvalgos, enciklopedijø straipsniai, studentø baigiamieji darbai, P. Jakðto knygø recenzijos ir anotacijos. Leidinyje dedama pagalbinë asmenvardþiø rodyklë leidþia nustatyti P. Jakðto slapyvardþius, kriptonimus bei leidinyje minimas autoriø, recen- zentø ir iliustruotojø pavardes.

Leidinys skiriamas mokslininkams, karo ir kultûros istorikams, stu- dijuojanèiai jaunuomenei, kraðtotyrininkams, bibliofilams, þurnalistams ir visai plaèiajai Lietuvos visuomenei. Tokia rodyklë kaip ði dël labai sudëtingo lietuviø tautos likimo ir savitø karo þurnalistø kûrybos sàlygø praëjusiame ðimtmetyje negali bûti visiðkai iðsami.

  • The Interwar Japanese Intelligence Activities in the Baltic States: 1918–1940
    Acta Historica Tallinnensia, 2018, 24, 78–98 https://doi.org/10.3176/hist.2018.1.04 THE INTERWAR JAPANESE INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES IN THE BALTIC STATES: 1918–1940 Shingo MASUNAGA Department of Philosophy, Centre for East Asian Studies (CEAS), University of Turku, 20014 Turun yliopisto, Finland; [email protected] This article aims to unveil the truths of the interwar Japanese intelligence activities in the Baltic States. Starting from the publication of Yuriko Onodera’s memoir ‘In the Shore of the Baltic Sea’ in 1985, the activities began to catch scholarly attentions. The activities were partially covered in some of the previous academic publications, such as a general picture of Japanese intelligence plan ‘1932’ in Kuromiya & Mamoulia (2016). However, this is the first-ever article to provide a perspective of the activities of the Japanese military attaché office in Riga. INTRODUCTION The conclusion of the First Russo-Japanese War in 1905 did not mean the end of Japanese intelligence activities against Russia, which were even expanded during the post-war period as a rematch was thought to be inevitable.1 The Bolshevik revolution in 1917 and the following birth of the Soviet Union in 1922 led the Japanese, especially the Army, to redefine ‘Russia’ again as the most potential enemy state. From the Japanese perspective, the existence of the Communist nation in the neighbourhood posed a threat to the ‘ideological identity’ of Japan’s capitalist and colonial pursuits within the Imperial system.2 After the establishment of the official diplomatic relations between Japan and the Soviet Union in 1925, two officers of the Japanese Army (Sadao Araki and Toshiro Obata) were sent to Moscow in order to evaluate the effects of the Soviet first ‘Five Years Plan’ started in 1928.3 Despite the ‘official’ statement of V.

While continuing researches on ancient cartography the publication is aimed at viewing maps of Li- thuania Minor and Prussia in the perspective of historical events, with a special emphasis on most important historical events as well as cartography development moments.

It also provides links that are helpful for the readers interested in a more detailed studies of specific maps.

Ensuring security is one of the main functions of the state, therefore, in that area one has to deal with a wide range of threats and challenges. In the analysis of the changing security environment issues in the 21st century, it is reasonable to look at historical events and to do appropriate case studies. Lithuania in the interwar period can be considered as a very valuable case in the context of the analysis of threats to national security. Over two decades, Lithuania acquired the experience of the conventional warfare, encountered analogues of little green men, and went through military coups, civil unrest, and the consequences of economic sanctions (economic warfare); it was exposed to external intelligence and agents of influence of other states operating underground who spread subversive rumours and distributed underground newspapers and leaflets. The present paper focuses on the range of those issues. Keywords: Lithuania, economic sanctions,war refugees, military coup, civil unrest, uprising, non-state military formations, warfare, rumours.

Introduction ithuania and Poland are the neighbouring countries which have been Lhistorically very closely related from ancient times. Considering the hundreds of years of history, one could feel happy that most frequently the two countries were in close friendship. The Grunwald Battle in 1410, which fi nished the existential struggle with the most developed military force at that time, the Teutonic Order, for the benefi t of Lithuania and Poland, was the most signifi cant example of collaboration between the two countries, but there have been more of them. For instance, not everybody knows that the Lithuanian and Polish armies repelled the forces of the Crimean Chan- at at Lopushna in 1512, not even to mention one of the greatest battles in 82 Simonas Jazavita the modern European history in 1621 when the joint military forces of the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth won against the powerful army of the Osman Empire at Chotin. When Russia became more powerful at the end of the 18th century and divided the Lithuanian-Polish Commonwealth with its Western neighbours, Lithuanians and Poles struggled together against it many times.

  • An Army Never Created: Lithuanian National Units in Russia and Their Veterans Organisation in Lithuania in the Interwar Period
    AN ARMY NEVER CREATED: LITHUANIAN NATIONAL UNITS IN RUSSIA AND THEIR VETERANS ORGANISATION IN LITHUANIA IN THE INTERWAR PERIOD Vytautas Jokubauskas ABSTRACT The formation of national units in the Russian army began in 1914 during the First World War. They allo- wed for the creation of national formations of Poles, Czechs, Armenians, Georgians and Latvians. After the February revolution of 1917, at a similar time to the Estonians and Ukrainians, Lithuanian soldiers who served in the Russian army also started to create units. Formed in different places, the Lithuanian units did not reach the homeland in an organised manner. However, there were repeated attempts to present 101 this Lithuanian military organisation in Russia after the war as the origins of the national army. These attempts intensified when veterans of national units started to come together in Lithuania, and in 1937 they established a separate organisation, the Kariuomenės pirmūnų sąjunga [Association of Army Prede- cessors]. It highlighted the contribution of Lithuanians to the Great War, but there was not enough time before 1940 to develop its activities as planned. The article reveals the reasons for and the circumstances of the creation of Lithuanian national units, and examines how and why former soldiers from these units, who lived in Lithuania during the interwar period, joined the organisation. KEY WORDS: First World War, national units, Russian army, Lithuanian army, veterans organisations, Association of Army Predecessors.
