ENThis article is an attempt to give a sketch of the Lithuanians. First we will offer definitive opinions about the Lithuanian character and values, after that we will analyze the development of values in post-Soviet Lithuania against a backdrop of processes taking place in other European countries. The greatest attention will be paid to religion, moral values and primary relations. Data on the values of Europe in general and of her individual member countries in particular, come from the results of the European Value Studies Group's (EVSG) 1990-1991 and 1999-2000 study. The firm Baltic Studies conducted the Lithuanian research.
