Many Lithuanians view emigration to the US and Western Europe as their best chance for making a decent living.
Since independence Lithuania has swung between governments of the right-wing Homeland Union, led by the independence champion Vytautas Landsbergis, and the left-wing Lithuanian Democratic Labour Party - the reformed Communist Party - led by a former construction engineer and Communist official, Algirdas Brazauskas.
Following netotiations with EU officials, Lithuania agreed in 2002 to close Ignalina nuclear power station which is of the same design as Chernobyl and which supplies a large proportion of the country_s electricity. With the help of EU funds, one reactor is to close by 2005 and the other by 2009.
The first of the remade former communists to win back power in eastern Europe, Brazauskas led his then party to a shock election victory in 1992, barely a year after the fiercely independent country broke out of the Soviet Union.
Nonetheless, the national broadcaster occasionally encounters attempts by politicians to influence its editorial policy, mostly through managerial appointments.
