Lietuvos Persitvarkymo Sąjūdžio Šiaulių iniciatyvinė grupė - Lietuvos nepriklausomybės atkūrimo iniciatoriai Šiauliuose

LTStraipsnyje atkreipiamas dėmesys į Lietuvos Persitvarkymo Sąjūdžio (LPS) Šiaulių miesto iniciatyvinės grupės (ŠIG) narius, Lietuvos nepriklausomybės atkūrimo iniciatorius Šiauliuose. Darbe plėtojama mintis, kad ne tik išrinktasis ar tam tikras valdžios galias turintis asmuo nulėmė Kovo 11-osios Akto, kaip laisvės simbolio atsiradimą, bet ir eilinis šiaulietis, aktyviai veikdamas, galėjo mažiau ar daugiau prisidėti prie Sovietų Sąjungos griūties ir demokratinės valstybės sukūrimo. Straipsnyje ne tik apžvelgtos LPS ŠIG narių nuostatos bei veikla, remiantis Šiaulių „Aušros“ muziejuje sukaupta dokumentine, ikonografine medžiaga, bet ir keliamas klausimas, ar LPS ŠIG istorine prasme buvo svarbi Šiaulių „Aušros“ muziejui? Reikšminiai žodžiai: Kalbos šventė, Šiauliai, rezoliucija, Šiaulių „Aušros“ muziejus, laikraštis „Krivūlė“. [Iš leidinio]

ENImplementing the Soviet Union’s policy of publicity and freedom of resurgent speech and thought Glasnost, persecution of people for the ideology that did not correspond to the opinion of the official authorities weakened, a diversity of opinions began to spread. Based on the documentary and iconographic material of Šiauliai “Aušros” Museum, the article reveals the activity of the members Šiauliai initiative group (Virgilijus Kačinskas, Kazimieras Alminas, Mindaugas Stakvilevičius, Vaclovas Vingras, etc.) of Reform Movement of Lithuania (Sąjūdis) formed on July 26, 1988, and officially recognized on October 12 during the restoration of Lithuania’s independence. It is revealed that not only a person with certain governmental powers but also an ordinary member of Šiauliai Initiative Group of Reform Movement of Lithuania, actively coordinating the activities of the support groups of Reform Movement of Lithuania, focused on territorial, professional or other principles, raising socially sensitive societal problems (e.g. in the theatrical Language Festival), publishing the newspaper “Krivulė”, could have contributed more or less to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the establishment of a democratic state. The main work of the members was legally conducted when on October 17, 1988, 17 resolutions were adopted, and 40 members of the coordination council representing Šiauliai were elected already at the republican level. In 1993, their idea was implemented when Ch. Frenkel’s villa was handed over to Šiauliai “Aušros” Museum. The new Lithuanian state system of the 1990 year was the result of illegally but courageously formed communication, harmonization of the level of material culture, and the circumstances of the social situation.
