Abstract

This article presents an analysis of events in Lithuania in the years 1944 to 1947, when the Soviet authorities were forced to stem the large numbers of beggars, both children and adults, flooding into the country. The scale of the social problem is examined, as well as the reasons, the routes taken by beggars of various nationalities (Russian-speakers, Germans, Roma (Gypsies) and the local population), and the efforts taken by government institutions to use deportation as a way of managing the crisis associated with the spread of typhus. The author reviews the stereotypes, well established in historiography, alleging that only German children begged after the war, and that members of the Lithuanian population who took them in were therefore subject to repressions.

战后的社会危机:1944–1947年涌入立陶宛的乞丐潮
本文分析了1944年至1947年立陶宛发生的事件,当时苏联当局被迫阻止大量儿童和成人乞丐涌入该国。研究了社会问题的规模、原因、不同国籍的乞丐(讲俄语的人、德国人、罗姆人(吉普赛人)和当地人)所走的路线,以及政府机构为利用驱逐出境来管理与斑疹伤寒传播相关的危机所做的努力。作者回顾了史学界公认的刻板印象,声称战后只有德国儿童乞讨,因此收留他们的立陶宛人受到镇压。
