  • The Baltic States
    SAULIUS GRYBKAUSKAS – VLADAS SIRUTAVIČIUS The Baltic States Cultural opposition: Controversies of the Concept Several problems arise when discussing the historiography of cultural opposi- tion in the Baltic States First, and most importantly, Baltic academics and histo- rians have not offered any clear scientific definition of what constitutes cultural opposition. As a result, we are left to consider what the concept of cultural op- position does not mean. In our view, this unclear definition is the product of various factors. As the three Baltic states each fought for and won state inde- pendence, historians from these nations have dedicated most of their attention to discussions of the armed resistance, the operation of Soviet repressive struc- tures and the repression of peaceful civilians. The selection of these themes as research topics can be explained by the fact that such subjects were off limits during the Soviet period, and academics were to conduct academic research according to the prevailing ideological and political parameters. In addition, in the post-Soviet scholarly environment, the positions of various social groups and individuals were described in a simplistic way, with the help of three sche- matic categories: collaborators who expressed active support for the Soviet re- gime; the freedom fighters, who are usually identified with the armed resist- ance movement; and conformists, who have received limited attention thus far. Research agendas were also heavily influenced by the Cold War totalitarian paradigm that postulated that Soviet-type political regimes in Eastern Europe were all monolithic and totalitarian, and there were only minor and insignifi- cant differences between them.

  • Religion and Nationalism in Lithuania
    Religion and Nationalism in Lithuania MARITE SAPIETS In Lithuania, as in neighbouring Poland, the Catholic Church holds a special place in the national consciousness. Lithuania's conversion to Catholicism in the 13th century marked the beginning of its long alliance with Poland: indeed, from 1385 to 1794, the two nations were formally united in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania-Poland, which was the greatest Catholic power in Eastern Europe and at one time stretched from the Baltic to the ,Black Sea. After 1794, when Lithuania and Poland were largely absorbed into the Russian Empire, the Catholic Church in Lithu­ ania found itself ina completely changed situation: from being the state religion, it became the religion of an oppressed non-Russian nation whose rulers elevated their own Russian Orthodox Church to· the position of state church. From the beginning of the 19th century, systematic Russifi­ cation went hand in hand with discrimination against the Catholic Church. In the reign of Nicholas I, most of the lands and monasteries of the·Lithuanian Catholic Church were confiscated and handed over to the Russian Orthodox Church. Lithuanian high schools and academies were closed, Lithuanian national law was abolished and the very use of the term "Lithuania" was officially banned.1 In these circumstances, the Catholic Church came to be seen as a defender of the Lithuanian national heritage. The two great Lithuanian anti-Tsarist revolts of the 19th cen­ tury - in 1831 and 1863 - had strong links with the Catholic Church. After the revolt of 1831, the theological academy of Vilnius - one of the centres of rebellion - was transferred to St Petersburg and the University .

When was the last time we've seen the Russian 60's memorialized in novel, romance, pop songs, plays, musicals? Why haven't the reams of propaganda scaled the heights of hyperhype attained by our own brief experiment with anarchism? In this period of Russian history , it is true, there are no phenomena comparable to the Beatles; no Woodstock; no Green Revolution; no "drug revolution" ( an article in today's Boston Globe describes Timothy Leary as a mathematical philosopher! ) ; no "sexual revolution"; no beatniks, no hippies, no yippies or yuppies; no communes, crash pads, be-ins , love-ins; no Marches on Moscow; no nationally organized movements of draft resistance; no grape and #2. lettuce boycotts; no proliferation of exotic religions, cults, food fads, New Age therapies, etc..
