Abstract
In 1993, a series of significant events took place in Lithuania. As a result of the electoral victory of the post-communist leftist party, the political scene became polarized. The defeat sealed the decomposition of Sajudis and accelerated the process of clarifying the centre-rightist political parties. However, the parliamentary opposition was able to block the authorities successfully. In the summer of 1993, the evacuation of Russian soldiers from Lithuania was completed. There was also a paramilitary rebellion in the country, and a visit of Pope John Paul II took place. Ultimately, at the end of the year, under the influence of the spectre of the Russian threat, both leading Lithuanian political blocks decided to compromise on the grounds of foreign policy.
