	Relict Forms of Balts' National Costume - Alicje Bednarczuk
		This style began to dominate in the Polish territory throughout the period of Lusatian Culture, penetrating also to the culture of the Balts, for whom it was for centuries a creative inspiration from the Iron Age till the early Middle Ages.
		With the Balts in the beginning of the Iron Age and in the early Middle Ages the diadem underwent various transformations and assumed very rich external form.
		Thus the bells in the finery of the Balts were inspired both by the late Roman Empire and the steppe zone of the East.

		The Balts or Baltic peoples (; ; Latgalian: bolti), defined as speakers of one of the Baltic languages, a branch of the Indo-European language family, are descended from a group of Indo-European tribes who settled the area between lower Vistula and upper Daugava and Dnieper rivers on the southeast shore of the Baltic Sea.
		The prehistoric cradle of the Baltic peoples according to archaeogenetic research and archaeological studies was the area near the Baltic sea and central Europe at the end of the Ice Age and beginning of the Mesolithic period.
		According to some older theories, the formative region of the Balts was located until the end of the second millennium BC near the upper and middle Dniepr river in modern Ukraine, which is thought to have been settled by a hypothetical Balto-Slavic community; that is, a population ancestral both to the modern Balts and Slavs.

		The remaining Kaunas-Smolensk complex of Baltic tribes was to a lesser degree infiltrated by the Balts that lived in the West, therefore between the Nemunas and the Dnepr sources and in the South Pripet in the 6th c.
		Although the Lower Neris suffered a greater influence of the Western Balts than did the territories between the mouths of the Nemunas and the Dnepr, the language of Prussian type did not convert the Lithuanian language into a constituent part of the world of the Western Balts.
		Thus we have no data enough to maintain that at the beginning of the Middle Ages the conditions were favourable for the language of the Lithuanian and Neruvian (?) tribes to separate, as was the case with the Latgalian language.

		Balts speak Baltic languages which belong to the Baltic language group of the Indo-European language family and are neither Germanic or Slavic.
		Their culture is easily recognizable and most probably they were the ancestors of the tribes of Western Balts (Prussians, Yotvingians and Galindians), as well as Eastern Balts (Lithuanians, Kuronians and Latvians), notable during the Middle Ages.

		III: The Balts and the Mixed Blessing of Cultural Capital The presence of the Balts (known in German as die Deutschbalten) in northeast Europe can be traced back to the early 13th century, when the Teutonic Knights attacked and gradually overran a swathe of territory on the shore of the Baltic (Schlau 1995: 52).
		Balts were prominent in the military; 69 of the Russian generals who survived the Napoleonic wars were Balts (von Taube et al., 1995: 70). They were likewise prominent in the exploration and administration of Russian central Asia, the Far East, and Alaska (66).
		Thus, in less than a century, the Balts went from a position of political autonomy and influence, to one of political isolation and decline, and finally to one in which it was impossible for them to continue living in their pre-war homeland at all.

		There are scalars, however, who maintain that these similarities have been produced due to the proximity of their land and the similarity of their living conditions.
		It is quite possible that in past the Balts and Slavs could even understand each other's language like Swedes and Norwegians or Czechs and Slovaks do today.
		Some linguists, archaeologists in particular, maintain that the Balts and Finns became neighbours as early as the 2nd millennium BC.

		The mythology of the Western Balts corresponds to the left members of the oppositions, that of the Eastern Balts to the right members of the oppositions, while the mythology of the Central Balts corresponds to the intermediate stages.
		A more detailed analysis of different species of animals shows that in the mythical tradition of the Western Balts preference was given to the pig which is usually related to the underworld and death; the Central Balts favoured the goat and the horse which symbolised fertility, while the Eastern 33alts preferred cattle and sheep.

	Civil Service Systems in Comparative Perspective
		Over the next five hundred years, the Balts serve as subjects sometimes of their own princes, such as the Lithuanians during the 14th and 15th centuries, but more often of foreign overlords from the from Prussia, Sweden, Poland and Muscovy.
		By the latter part of the 18th century, all the Balts were under the dominion of the Tsar and remained part of the Russian empire until it, depleted of its legitimacy and drained by World War I, was taken over by the Communists in 1917.
		In sum, and using the Raadschelders and Rutgers (1996) developmental phase characterization, during the 18th and 19th centuries the Balts experienced the progression of Russian imperial administration from being "state servants" to "public servants".

		The Slavs entered the Dniepr region in the 6th century CE after the Avar invasion of Europe, conquering and assimilating most of the Eastern Balts.
		Its borders are approximately: from a line on the Pomeranian coast eastward to include or nearly include the present-day sites of Warsaw, Kiev, and Kursk, northward through Moscow to the River Berzha, westward in an irregular line to the coast of the Gulf of Riga, north of Riga.
		This has led some scientists to believe that the people known today as Balts were initially largely of Finno-Ugric origin (or in turn, modern day Finns were initially of east Baltic origin) - thus, the languages spoken today by these groups would have become established through language replacement.

	History of Latvia: A brief synopsis
		In the 9th century the Balts came under the overlordship of the Varangians, or Vikings, but a more lasting dominance was established over them by their German-speaking neighbours to the west, who Christianized Latvia in the 12th and 13th centuries.
		The first historically documented connection between the Balts and the civilization of the Mediterranean world was based on the ancient amber trade: according to the Roman historian Tacitus (1st century AD), the Aestii (predecessors of the Old Prussians) developed an important trade with the Roman Empire.
		During the 10th and 11th centuries Latvian lands were subject to a double pressure: from the east there was Slavic penetration; from the west came the Swedish push toward the shores of Courland.
