This paper discusses recent quantitative research on defence spending in interwar Lithuania, and providesa comparison between the burden of defence spending in Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland andPoland in 1924, 1938 and 1939, which are the only years with available data on the total expenditure inLithuania. Although contemporary mainstream economic science does not consider the military sectoras unproductive (it ‘produces’ security services), it still sees it as a burden to the economy, becausedefence spending decreases private consumption, along with private and public civil investment. Twoindicators of this burden are discussed: the share of defence spending in total state spending, and theratio of defence spending to gross national income (GNI) or gross domestic product (GDP). In recentresearch on defence spending in interwar Lithuania, only the size and changes in nominal expenditurehave so far been measured, without taking into consideration changes in the purchasing power of thelitas. The main findings of the application of the second indicator include the fact that among the Balticcountries (including Finland), the Latvian economy was most heavily burdened by defence spending in1924–1925. On the eve of the Second World War, however, Lithuania became the leader. Key words: defence economics, defence spending burden, share of defence expenditure in the statebudget, ratio of defence expenditure to total output, comparison of defence spending burdens.

On 13 August 1949, in Užpelkiai Forest in northern Lithuania, on the border of the Grinkiskis and Baisogalarural districts in Radviliskis County, a battle by Lithuanian partisans that had a significant impact on thehistory of the Prisikėlimas (Resurrection) district took place. The leaders of the Lietuvos Laisvės KovosSąjūdis (Movement for the Struggle for Lithuania’s Freedom) operated in this district. Based on the approachof modern conflict archaeology, the authors of the article, helped by volunteers, determined thelocation of the Battle of Užpelkiai Forest (in the Grinkiskis rural district, Radviliskis County), and collecteda lot of new archaeological and historical data, in order to reconstruct the progress of the attack by MG B(Ministry of State Security) troops and the partisan defence. By referring to complex research results, thearticle gives the surnames and duties in the organisation of all the partisans who participated, as well asthe circumstances and progress of the battle. It shows the importance of the Battle of Užpelkiai Forestto the Lietuvos Laisvės Kovos Sąjūdis in 1949–1950. The case study of field research into the battle in theguerilla war shows how complex historical and archaeological research complements the picture of theguerilla war with facts and artefacts, clarifies or denies old interpretations, and leads us to new ones. Key words: Lithuanian partisan war, Movement for the Struggle for Lithuania’s Freedom, Battle of Užpelkiai Forest, modern conflict archaeology, complex research.
1949年8月13日,在立陶宛北部的Užpelkiai森林,在Radviliskis县的Grinkiskis和Baisogalarural地区的边界上,立陶宛游击队的一场战斗对Prisikėlimas(复活)地区的历史产生了重大影响。Lietuvos Laisvės KovosSąjūdis(争取立陶宛自由运动)的领导人在这个地区活动。基于现代冲突考古学的方法,本文作者在志愿者的帮助下,确定了Užpelkiai森林战役的位置(在Radviliskis县的Grinkiskis农村地区),并收集了大量新的考古和历史资料,以重建MG B(国家安全部)部队进攻和游击队防御的进展。通过参考复杂的研究成果,本文给出了所有参加战斗的游击队员的姓氏和组织职责,以及战斗的情况和进展。它显示了1949年至1950年期间Užpelkiai森林战役与Lietuvos Laisvės Kovos Sąjūdis战役的重要性。实地考察游击战的案例研究表明,复杂的历史和考古研究如何用事实和文物补充游击战的图景,澄清或否认旧的解释,并引导我们走向新的解释。关键词:立陶宛游击战争,争取立陶宛自由运动,Užpelkiai森林战役,现代冲突考古学,复杂研究
