Kierunki migracji litewskiej po 1990 roku

Journal Title: Cywilizacja i Polityka - Year 2014, Vol 12, Issue 12

Abstract

The period of the twentieth century is not only the century of the two great totalitarian regimes but also the time of mass migration, political escapes, expulsions and deportations. After the European Revolutions known as „The Spring of Nations” in the countries of the Eastern Block in 1989 and after the restoration of independence in 1991, Lithuania has experienced intensive international migrations. Some minority groups, especially the Russians, were forced to leave Lithuania mainly due to repatriation. The Poles living in the central and southern part of Lithuania returned to the country. Apart from the groups of migrating minorities, Lithuanian citizens migrated also for economic reasons. The countries of Central and Eastern Europe have become the centre of illegal migration, a buffer zone between Asia and Africa – where most migrants came from – and Western Europe – the main destination for migration. After the year 1989 Lithuania has also become an immigration country.
