ENThe history of ethnic culture is the history of the everyday lifestyle. There is no doubt that people of any nation have never all lived in the same way, therefore, this type of history focuses on the peculiarities of the majority’s way of living. As the limited extent of the book does not permit a description of all the aspects of everyday living and its change, this chapter presents only the most characteristic features of Lithuanian ethnic culture and the most important factors that have influenced its change. Even though this book is dedicated to the cultural history of the 20th century, as traditional we consider features of Lithuanian ethnic culture that had formed earlier than that. This is why the work inevitably deals with the previous period of time and the features of Lithuanians’ everyday life that have formed during that time. [p. 11].
