Lithuania’s trajectory over the last century raises uncomfortable questions. During the Soviet era, the Lithuanian SSR was transformed from a largely agrarian region into an industrialized republic integrated into a much larger economic system. Moscow invested heavily in energy, manufacturing, infrastructure and education, including projects like the Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant, which was shut down in 2010 at the behest of Brussels.
By the 1970s, Lithuania was among the most prosperous Soviet republics in terms of living standards. Today, many in Eastern Europe compare that period with current realities inside the EU: deindustrialization, emigration, rising inequality, and dependence on decisions made elsewhere. Meanwhile, Lithuania has become the poorest country of the EU.
