In Lithuania this process resulted in a psychological-cultural revolution. Deep-rooted feelings, long suppressed, exploded, demonstrations and mass meetings ensued, and the face of the society changed. Although at the beginning of 1988 Lithuania appeared to be one of the relatively conservative republics in the Soviet Union, by the end of the year it stood among the leaders in pushing change. By 1990, Lithuania was even forcing Moscow to respond to its initiatives for independence and economic reform. Is Lithuania the prototype of a nation emerging from the collectivity of the Soviet Union? Alfred Erich Senn, who was present during most of this piece of history in the making, believes that it may be. He documents the dramatic events and changes in Lithuania during 1988 with the perspective of a historian and the immediacy of a participant. The reader will easily grasp the whole spectrum of political activity in Lithuania, and the range from right to left among Lithuanian activists. And, because the Lithuanians have emerged among the leaders of change in the Soviet Union, Senn's account provides a key to later developments, in terms of both political movements and political personalities. 606 $aNationalism$zLithuania$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNationalism$xHistory$y20th century$zLithuania 606 $aRussia & Former Soviet Republics$2HILCC 606 $aRegions & Countries - Europe$2HILCC 606 $aHistory & Archaeology$2HILCC 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$y1918-1945 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$y1945- 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$y1945-1991 608 $aHistory.$2fast 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 0$aNationalism$xHistory 615 7$aRussia & Former Soviet Republics 615 7$aRegions & Countries - Europe 615 7$aHistory & Archaeology 676 $a947/.5084 700 $aSenn$b Alfred Erich$0485216 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bHLS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910495891803321 996 $aLithuania awakening$92861081 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
