ENThe chapter provides an overview of legislative measures that set the legal framework for dealing with the totalitarian heritage of the twentieth century history in post-communist Lithuania. These measures were adopted since the emergence of the popular movement in the late 1980s to the present time. They were specific legal manifestations of state-sponsored history that were introduced during an intense period of transition from Soviet rule and the formation of an independent nation-state. The authors argue that there is a clear connection between the early set of laws that sought to delegitimise the communist period and the subsequent measures that were more concerned with creating new interpretations and memories of the recent past in Lithuania.
