ENThis article highlights the processes of creative interaction of Lithuanian and Russian musical cultures in the 20th century and looks at various forms of this interaction in different historical periods. It analyses the changing “geography” of poles of influence; characterizes the creative ideas emanating from them; and identifies a specific configuration of forces of attraction and opposition and synchrony and asynchrony in artistic endeavour. The “microhistories” presented in this article show the dynamic process of creative interaction of Lithuanian and Russian musical cultures, reflect its dependence on the historical and artistic context, and highlight the ever-present individual parameter of musical interaction and mutual enrichment.
