| Abstract [eng] |
Referred to as Litvinism, some interpretations of the history of Grand Duchy of Lithuania claim that this was a Belarusian state (dominated by Belarusians or ‘shared’ with Lithuanians, depending on a flow). The thesis analyses the response of the Lithuanian society and state to Litvinism, ranging between securitisation and integration. Out of factors that determine the intensity of securitisation of Litvinism in Lithuania, the research found two to be key: foreign and history policies of Belarus, and history paradigm prevailing in Lithuania. Other factors: Russian information war, potential transition of power in Belarus, and popularity of Litvinism in Belarus, exert indirect influence. |
