Manifesty w dwudziestowiecznej historiografii litewskiej

The article analyzes ten texts written by twentieth century Lithuanian historians, which can be attributed to the genre of the manifesto. They highlight the main features of the historians' communities in the three periods of the 20th century (inter-war independent Lithuania, Soviet Lithuania and Lithuania that re-established independence in 1990) and at the same time they enable us to comprehend the ideas, theoretical and methodological principles of these communities (as well as their individual members), sometimes even their existential positions.
