Розмежування політичної еліти Литви на етапі відновлення державності

Abstract

There is an analysis of the special features of the process of differentiation of political elite in Lithuania in the context of the multi!party system formation at the end of 80th – the beginning of 90th in the 20th century in the article. We consider the certain preconditions of the first change of elites after the elections to the Saeima of the Republic of Lithuania, 1992. Incompatibilities of «Sajudis» elites, personal ambitions and inability for constructive cooperation have become fully apparent in achieving the main common goal ! the restoration of Lithuanian statehood.
