ENThis chapter begins by exploring the origins and ideology of the Christian Democratic Party (LCDP) in the early twentieth century. However, my focus here is on the circumstances of its re-establishment in Lithuania during 1989–1990. I will also survey the aims of the party’s political program. Finally, I will discuss the views of Christian Democrats on the road to re-establishing Lithuania’s independence in the context of Gorbachev’s reforms. [p. 275].
