| Abstract [eng] |
Russians in Kaunas had to turn to the private sector for employment, where they had to compete with Jewish or Germans who had secured strong positions in trade and industry even before Word War I. Russian employment possibilities also depended on their ability to adjust to the Lithuanian cultural environment. Especially important was the ability to learn the Lithuanian language since the level of knowledge of the language often determined employment possibilities. In the 1930s, weak knowledge of the Lithuanian language was already considered an impediment to productive work in many state institutions. Lack of employment opportunities in Lithuania led some Russians to consider emigration. |
