ENUsing the concepts of stratification and community in the article different features of the material, social, religious and cultural life of the villagers are analysed. The authoress uses existential and phenomenological approach, the information of life histories of villagers. In relation with the change of national identity, the evaluation of the past and present situation of the people are investigated.

Despite the troubles of the period of market economy the members of communities are becoming more independent, individual and autonomous; among them we can single out such types as the leaders, the middle strata and unemployed. The research reveals contemporary forms of marginality which is related with people socio-economical situation (as unemployed), poverty and poor consumption. In the first part the authoress reveals the peculiarity and the differences of the labour and social relations after the declaration of independence. The situation of family life and family relations, worries about children are analysed.The features of religious feasts in village are investigated. Analysing the consumption phenomena, the authoress stresses the change: natural native products are added with foreign goods, which are important for the society not only with regard to their function, but as the symbols of availability, marking the end of the constant shortages of different consumer goods in the Soviet period. These goods also made it possible to get familiar with the European, American consumer culture and way of life. Consumption and everyday experience tend to standardize tastes and values. Very actual social problem for Lithuanian society is migration phenomena (from village also). European Union's influence on some social structures and on the way of life of Lithuanian emigrants who are leaving the country for work, study or search on adventure is rethinking. This phenomenon is related with new identities formation, and the construction by modern people in abroad of new solidarity forms. Departure means the involving to new cultural environment and social creativity; it is some type struggle for autonomy, new consumptional model and personal (social) transformation. At the same time the migrants are excluded from the native society and its language. [From the publication]
