This article considers certain historiographical
aspects of the Vilnius issue as
an international problem. The author analyses
the origins of the Polish-Lithuanian conflict,
the role of the struggle for Vilnius in
the general context of the Polish-Lithuanian
confrontation, and the origin and nature of
Lithuanian nationalism. The article also examines
historiographical perspectives on
the seizure of Vilnius by the troops of the
Polish general, L. Żeligowsky, and the international
consequences of the violation of
the Suwałki Agreement. The author pays
special attention to the positions of western
powers, the decision of the Conference of
Ambassadors on March 15, 1923, and the
mediation of the League of Nations in the
territorial dispute between Lithuania and
Poland. The article considers the existing
historiographical concepts and evaluations
of the role of the Soviet diplomacy in the
Vilnius issue. The author identifies new
trends in the contemporary historiography
of the Vilnius problem.... view less
