Rimantas Jasas collection

The collection shows the life, work and activities of the Lithuanian historian Rimantas Jasas (1929-2002). Jasas never called himself a dissident. Even after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he did not speak much about his involvement in underground (samizdat) literature, and saw himself only as a professional historian. The files in the collection show his close ties with the dissident movement, especially with the Soviet dissident and political prisoner Vytautas Skuodis (1929-2016). Jasas was involved with the samizdat journal Perspektyvos (Perspectives), the most highly thought-of publication by members of the intelligentsia.

本数据集展现了立陶宛历史学家里曼塔斯·亚萨斯（1929-2002）的生平、工作及活动。亚萨斯从未自诩为持不同政见者。即便在苏联解体之后，他亦鲜少提及自己参与地下（地下出版物）文学的经历，自视为一位职业历史学家。该数据集中收录的文件揭示了亚萨斯与持不同政见运动，尤其是与苏联持不同政见者及政治犯维陶塔斯·斯库奥迪斯（1929-2016）之间紧密的联系。亚萨斯曾参与编辑备受知识分子推崇的地下出版物《展望》（Perspektyvos）。
