	Lithuania: Political life, parties - A part of Randburg
		The case of Lithuania was not unique: in the experience of world liberation movements, the primary organisation also fulfils the function of a matrix organisation, and gives birth to political fracturing.
		The Social Democratic Party was the first to effect its restoration, on the 12th of August 1989 as if this role were its due: it was the first political party in Lithuania's history, established back in 1896.
		These are basically the principal parties which play a decisive role in the shaping of the current political landscape (with the exception of the Independence Party, which has vanished).

	Green Left - Behind ex-Communists' electoral victory in Lithuania
		In the municipal elections in eastern Berlin in the spring of 1992 the most successful grouping was the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS), formed on the basis of the former Socialist Unity Party of Germany.
		The PDS proclaimed itself a radical left party; rejecting the ideology of the Communists, it did not accept the mild reformism of the social democrats either.

	Lithuania
		Informally from 4 Jul 1569, constitutionally from 3 May 1791, Poland and Lithuania constituted the United Commonwealth of Two Nations; the Polish king also had the style of Grand Prince of Lithuania, and the two countries were governed together and were represented on the Diets.
		Although de jure the Polish Interrex only dealt with Poland during a vacancy in the monarchy (the Lithuanian Council of State [Lietuvos Ponu Taryba], chaired by the Grand Marshal [Lietuvos didysis marsalka] dealing with Lithuania), this is de facto a spurious distinction.
		The full style of Grand Princes of Lithuania (and Polish kings) from 1573 was (in official Latin): Dei Gratiae Rex Poloniae, Magnus Dux Lituaniae, Russiae, Prussiae, Masoviae, Samogithiae, Kiioviae, Volhyniae, Podoliae, Podlachiae, Livoniae, Smolensciae, Severiae, Czernichoviaeque.
