For half a century, Soviet historians insisted that the three republics had voluntarily requested incorporation into the Soviet Union. Now it has become possible to examine the events of that tumultuous time more carefully. Alfred Erich Senn, the author of books on the formation of the Lithuanian state in 1918-1920 and on the reestablishment of that independence in 1988-1991, has produced a fascinating account of the Soviet takeover, juxtaposing a picture of the disintegration and collapse of the old regime with the Soviets? imposition of a new order. Discussing the historiography and the living memory of the events, he uses the image of a ?shell game? that focused attention on the work of a supposedly ?non-communist? government while in the hothouse conditions of military occupation Moscow undermined the state?s independent institutions and introduced a revolution from above. 410 0$aOn the boundary of two worlds ;$v9. 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aLithuania$xHistory$y1918-1945 607 $aLithuania$xPolitics and government$y1918-1945 676 $a947.9 700 $aSenn$b Alfred Erich$0485216 712 02$aEbooks Corporation. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910778355703321 996 $aLithuania 1940$93834541 997 $aUNINA
