  • Strengthening the U.S.-Lithuania Partnership:Lithuania Perspective
    STRENGTHENING THE U.S.-LITHUANIA PARTNERSHIP: LITHUANIAN PERSPECTIVE Vygaudas Ušackas HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The last few years of Lithuania-U.S. relations have been marked by the historic decisions of NATO enlargement, thus concluding one chapter in the bilateral relationship and building an even stronger foundation for an ever-closer strategic partnership between the two nations in the future. The United States of America played a crucial role in allowing Lithuania and the other six Central European countries to be invited to the 2002 Prague summit to join NATO. On May 9, 2003, the U.S. Senate unanimously ratified the NATO Accession Protocols, thus paving the way for U.S. President George W. Bush’s vision of “Europe whole and free, and at peace” to become a reality. Moreover, in the last few years we have enjoyed the unparalleled attention of the White House, the Hill and the American people. The U.S.-Lithuanian relationship goes back to the beginning of the 20th century. The restoration of the State of Lithuania on February 16, 1918 and its international recognition were closely linked to the principle of self-determination advocated by the twenty-eighth U.S. President, Woodrow Wilson. America was one of the first to recognise the independence of Lithuania. Throughout the brutal Soviet occupation, America lived up to its principles, and never recognized Lithuania as part of the USSR. The tricolour-flag of Lithuania at the U.S. Department of State during the dark years of occupation was conveying the hope to hundreds of thousands of Lithuanians in America and worldwide that the most brutal breach of international law was just temporary and that the independence of Lithuania would one day be restored.

  • Locked Up« in Nation States: Perceptions of the Relations Between the State and National Community Within Political and Social Discourse in Lithuania
    Original scientific article UDK 316.773.2:342.228(474.5) Eglė Kesylytė-Alliks »LOCKED UP« IN NATION STATES: PERCEPTIONS OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN THE STATE AND NATIONAL COMMUNITY WITHIN POLITICAL AND SOCIAL DISCOURSE IN LITHUANIA ABSTRACT This article examines how the idea of the nation-state is articulated in political and social discourse. In particular, it explores how the national community and the state are posi- tioned vis-a`-vis each other in discourse surrounding national flags. I locate my analysis in Lithuania after the dissolution of the USSR. I explore how the interaction between the state and the nation is discursively represented among politicians and ordinary citizens when they discuss Lithuanian national flag(s). Intriguingly, whereas semi-public discourse could generally be described as “locked up” in thinking in terms of the nation and state as interdependent entities, for political actors the intertwining of the nation and state was a less doxastic state of affairs. KEYWORDS: national symbols, nationhood, statehood, Lithuania, discourse analysis »Zaklenjeni« v nacionalnih državah: percepcije odnosa med državnimi in nacionalnimi skupnostmi v političnih in družbenih diskurzih v Litvi IZVLEČEK Članek preučuje, kako je ideja nacionalne države artikulirana v političnih in družbenih diskurzih. Raziskuje, kako so nacionalne skupnosti in država medsebojno pozicionirane v diskurzih, ki zadevajo nacionalne zastave. Analiza se osredotoča na primer Litve po razpadu Sovjetske zveze. Avtorica ugotavlja, kako je interakcija med državo in nacijo diskurzivno reprezentirana v političnih razpravah in razpravah navadnih državljanov o nacionalnih zastavah. Medtem ko – zanimivo – poljavne diskurze splošno lahko opišemo kot »zaklenjene«, in sicer v smislu, da se nacijo in državo misli kot povezani entiteti, je za politične akterje preplet nacije in države manj samoumeven.

  • Moral Concepts Surrounding Flags—An Analysis
    2? Intemational Congress of Vexillologv FlagBerlin2007 Page 591 Alexandra Dan Mandru: Moral Concepts surrounding Flags - an Analysis Abstract: Starting with thefirst Latin vexilli, and ending with the modern, diagonal- lined ensigns, flags have always contained a heavy load of morality and philosophy, bearing symbols ofgreat importance for their using body. This is the reason why the burning offlags is considered today as an act of great defying, against the entity which uses the flag. This paper contains a research of how are the moral principles reflected in flags, the manner in which an idea can be vexillologically illustrated within a piece of cloth. 1. Introduction: Essential Values and Principles reflected in Flags The existence of a flag is a consequence of a certain degree of sovereignty, independence or autonomy. Thus, a certain degree of self- reliance of the using body (whether it is a country, a territory or a corporation) is asserted within the simple bearing of the flag. This paper presents a new approach, regarding the moral content existing in flags. The range of moral concepts which will be analysed encompasses values, principles and abstract ideas, which find a way of concretisation with their appearance in flags. The colours tell much about the meaning of a flag. They can mean patriotism, the blood shed for the fatherland or love for one’s territory (red), or the connection with nature, faith, even mineral wealth (green). Nationalism is an important element in flags. The flags which express a nationalist attitude are charged with traditional colours, national symbols, etc. they can’t be used otherwise than as a national symbol.

ARTICLE PUBLIC DEMONSTRATIONS AND THE RULE OF LAW IN THE AGE OF GLASNOST AND PERESTROIKA Ralph Ruebner* INTRODUCTION It goes without saying that in a democratic society persons who share common interests and goals, whether of political, cultural, ethnic, reli- gious, social, fraternal, benevolent, or any other nature, have the right to form interest groups, engage in private and public assembly, and express themselves publicly on important issues of the day. One com- monly recognized mode of expression is that of a public demonstration. It is equally clear that in a democratic society, the role of the govern- ment is to respect the right of group association and public expression, not to prohibit or frustrate it; there is little room for governmental in- terference with this basic right.

  • Between National and Indigenous Communism
    LITHUANIAN HISTORICAL STUDIES 23 2019 ISSN 1392-2343 PP. 85–116 https://doi.org/10.30965/25386565-02301004 BETWEEN NATIONAL AND INDIGENOUS COMMUNISM. SOME BROAD BRUSHTROKES IN THE POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY OF JUSTAS PALECKIS: 1944–19531 Vladas Sirutavičius (Lithuanian Institute of History) ABSTRACT The article discusses the activities during the period of late Stalinism of Justas Paleckis, the chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of Soviet Lithuania. The paper puts forward the premise that from 1944 to 1953, Paleckis bal- anced between indigenous (local) communism and attitudes characteristic of some Central European national communists. To be more precise, he tried to emphasise the specifics of the historical development of Lithuania, and its differences from other Soviet republics, in which the formation of the Soviet regime started earlier. According to him, its tradition of statehood made Lithuania a unique republic, and this circumstance should be taken into account when making Lithuania Soviet. Paleckis was convinced that in order to make Soviet rule more attractive to the Lith- uanians, it was necessary to cooperate with the nation’s cultural elite, that is, with the interwar Lithuanian intelligentsia. In his writings and speeches, he tried to merge organically the liberation of the Lithuanian nation from the ‘yoke’ of the exploiters, with the no less important liberation from the ‘national yoke’ or national revival of the Lithuanians. Social and national ‘liberation’, according to him, was crowned with the establishment of the socialist order in Lithuania. This ‘organic’ understanding of history was characteristic of other national communists in Central Europe. Finally, Paleckis tried to incorporate national elements into the system of symbols in Soviet Lithuania.
