PASIONARINĖS ASMENYBĖS: PIOTRAS STOLYPINAS IR LEVAS KARSAVINAS LIETUVOJE
Passionate Personalities: Piotr Stolypin and Lev Karsavin in Lithuania

Summary/Abstract: Comparative analysis of biographies of two passionate personalities Piotr Stolypin and Lev Karsavin testifies that Lithuania of the first part of XX century has been a “genial” place serving as a bridge between the East and the West where it was possible for extraordinary alumni of the Russian Empire who have finished their studies in Western Europe to successfully synthesize the acquired experience. Lithuanian stage of their lives in particular was the most fruitful and productive as it was conditioned by creative latitude and creative process itself, and was directed towards individual freedom or liberation. This comparison proves out a thesis of a philosopher Stasys Šalkauskis about Lithuania as a land of constant intersection of different cultures wherein a new phenomenon was generated.
