Presentation of the publication "Documents of Lithuanian Foreign Policy. Volume II: 1921–1923"

November 19, 5:00 PM. The Historical Presidential Palace, together with the Lithuanian Institute of History, invites you to the presentation of the publication "Documents of Lithuanian Foreign Policy. Volume II: 1921–1923" (authors and compilers: Vytautas Žalys, Algimantas Kasparavičius, Vilma Bukaitė). Dr. A. Kasparavičius and Dr. V. Bukaitė will participate in the event, and the authors will be interviewed by museum historian Dr. Ingrida Jakubavičienė. Publications from the Lithuanian Institute of History will be available for purchase. The book is a continuation of the "Documents of Lithuanian Foreign Policy" project, implemented collectively by the Lithuanian Institute of History, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Office of the Chief Archivist of Lithuania, dedicated to the foreign policy and diplomacy of Lithuania in 1923. The focus is primarily on several fundamental topics: the de jure recognition of the state; its relations with Poland and efforts to regain Vilnius; the attempts by the League of Nations and the great powers of Europe to solve the Vilnius problem (Hymans' projects); the incorporation of the Klaipėda Region into Lithuania; the establishment of the border with Latvia; the return of war refugees and exiles from Russia to Lithuania; and the institutional development and maturity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kaunas and Lithuanian diplomacy in foreign capitals. The vast majority of the documents are original and are being published for the first time. A significant portion consists of translations from French. Among them, the reports by the envoy in Paris, Oskaras Vladislovas Milosz-Milašius, are particularly valuable. The event is public; filming and photography may take place. By attending the event, you agree to be visible in event photos and videos and are informed that these photos and videos may be published publicly.
