ENThe  report reviews the  changes in structure of Lithuanian rural settlements. The  Lithuanian pre-soviet rural settlement system and structure of villages was formed in the  first half of the  20th century. Statistics data allowed to investigate demographical changes in rural areas and define the  dynamics of the  rural settlements structure and tendencies of their development in Soviet and post-Soviet time. The  main direction of transformation in rural settlements structure in Soviet time was a forced concentration of people in the  urbanized settlements. Another tendency in the  rural policy of the  Soviet period, was intensive land-reclamation and destruction of individual farms. In  Soviet time, results of settlements structural changes is the  increasing number of small villages. Therefore, the  results of transformations in structure of rural settlements in post-Soviet time remained concentration people in the  urbanized settlements and a big number of small villages.
