Vengrijos sukilimo ir Prahos pavasario atgarsiai Lietuvoje

LT1956 m. ir 1968 m. mums asocijuojasi su vengrų ir čekoslovakų tautų siekiu išsivaduoti iš SSRS įtakos zonos, o karinė intervencija tik dar kartą parodė, kokia agresyvi, nepripažįstanti kompromisų gali būti Sovietų Sąjunga. Lietuva neliko abejinga šiems įvykiams, nes manė, kad šių tautų kova ir sėkmė gali pagerinti ir kitų valstybių, esančių sovietų įtakoje, padėtį. Šis pralaimėjimas nors ir nuvylė, bet nepalaužė lietuvių - jų antisovietis pasipriešinimas sustiprėjo. Deja, po šių įvykių ir KGB sugriežtino savo veiklą prieš kitaminčius Lietuvoje.

ENThe Uprising in Hungary in 1956 and the Prague Spring in 1968 were perhaps the most serious crises in the socialistic bloc countries. These events impacted the further evaluation of the foreign and domestic policy of the Soviet Union and activity of its repressive structures in Lithuania. In Lithuania, these events received quite a lot of attention from society. But the Soviet government gave just a minimum of information about these events and censured it. Besides, government through press and official meetings tried to form the desirable attitude towards the events in Hungary and Czechoslovakia and the intervention. However, alternative means of information such as foreign radio, which wasn't available to everybody, and Lithuania's historical experience allowed people to make an objective opinion about the events in these countries. Lithuanian society openly supported the events in Hungary. Lithuanians expressed their support during the All Saints' day commemoration in Vilnius, Kaunas and other cities. In 1968, the reaction of society was much more reserved and avoided an open support of Czechoslovakia and disapproval of the actions of the Soviet government. Because of the lack of studies and objective documents it is difficult to make any conclusions about the influence of the Hungarian Uprising and the Prague Spring on the Lithuanian anti-Soviet resistance.Because of the open and mass protest in 1956, these events made more influence on the further resistance to the Soviet regime. The new period of anti-Soviet resistance appeared in the first half of the 1960s, and the Prague Spring just catalysed and put the basis to the dissident and human right movement of the 1970s. Although these events forced the KGB to intensify its activity, just after 1968 new tendencies were seen in the KGB activity as the usage of new methods. Educational and ideological means, such as prophylaxis, propaganda, discreditation, became more and more important among other methods. Formation of the public opinion became a new aspect of fighting with dissident movement, because repression, imprisonments were not effective in such struggle. [From the publication]
