One of the most complicated problems that President Gitanas Nausėda is going to face is nationalism. It is awakening in Europe and it will reach Lithuania too, even though not in the shapes we are […]
Already in one other piece, I was left asking myself, whether we need snap elections. Immediately another question arose – what after? A return to this topic was spurred on by political scientist V. Laučius‘ […]
The Baltic Way greatly adjusted my, a then Sąjūdis Seimas council member and council secretariat official, forecasts. I had no doubt that the event, which was already being considered from early 1989, would succeed, but […]
‘The thirtieth anniversary of the Baltic Way is a good opportunity to stop and think. Perhaps to also place some punctuation. Sąjūdis, for change in Lithuania, was an uprising. Non-violent and thus victorious. After prior […]
On 23 August Europe will mark the European Day of remembrance for the victims of totalitarian regimes and will commemorate 80 years since the notorious non-aggression agreement between the two biggest totalitarian tyrannies of the […]
If the nation is sitting on a powder keg, it must suddenly be removed from beneath its behind. These are the words of famous crisis prevention specialist Remigijus Šimašius, who works as Vilnius mayor. This […]
Having recently returned to Lithuania for work, I thought I would be able to get away from the disinformation warfare being waged on the US government by its foes and their allies, the “useful idiots”. […]
The historically necessary and courageous decision of Vilnius city Mayor Remigijus Šimašius to take down the commemorative plaque to Jonas Noreika General Vėtra (Storm) from the Vrublevskiai Library was ruined by the cowardly way it […]
Recently published United Nations (UN) statistics about population changes in Lithuania have really put the country on pins and needles. Headlines in the press were screaming that we are a country going extinct at the […]
In the non-static war against Lithuanian freedom, the central geopolitical expansionary warrior goes back repeatedly to the place that is most sensitive for him. For us, in an inevitable position of self-defense, (as Lithuanian Uprising), […]
What was surprising was not the return of Russia’s delegation to the hall of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe or PACE, but the near double number of votes in favour. Among them, […]
I warned earlier that allowing the unconditional return of the Russian delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE), driven mainly by French and German naivete, will cost the authority of the […]
With a hot summer underway, two history-related resolutions emerged in Seimas almost at the same time and it would seem that they will both be met with controversy. A resolution proposed by Seimas Speaker Viktoras […]
Living in times of dynamic change, is it still meaningful to talk about Lithuanian conservatism, which from the oldest times has looked at the change in at least a skeptical light? Musings on this forgotten […]
Comments or analytical pieces on the situation in Lithuania that appeared after President Dalia Grybauskaitė annual address appear more interesting to me than the address itself. D. Grybauskaitė‘s text, which we heard from the Seimas […]
This week the Council of Europe (CoE), the organization where some time ago I quite naively ran for the position of Secretary General, opted to pay a big price for its naivete – by returning […]
Let’s talk about MP Gražulis and Baltic Pride! Even on the brightest day, you can have clouds, a man once said upon finding out that his mother in law died, but he will have to […]
What were the European Parliament elections in Lithuania like? Easily predicted. The large parties won, EP veterans and more conspicuous than any other electoral campaign participant Aušra Maldeikienė won. As long as the EP exists, […]
Grybauskaitė international career and the strategic partnership of Lithuania and Poland, sung in the neighbouring countries’ songs have, without even properly warmed yet, found itself on the doorstep to a new ice age! President-Elect Gitanas […]
