The collection contains many transcripts of the broadcasts of Vatican Radio dating from the 1970s and 1980s. To produce and keep such a document imposed great risks on people involved, especially those printing transcripts on cyclostyle, which needed certain weather conditions (above 20 degrees Celsius). Some of the samizdats are therefore covered in plastic sheets. This particular transcript is a transcript from John Paul II. encyclical Dominum et vivificantem, most probably translated and distributed by Ivan Polanský, a disident, Christian activist and, after 1989, a politican, by his secret press close to Trenčín.

The 11th Congress of the Union of Artists, which took place on 13-14 November 1987, was a significant event not only for artists, but also for other groups among the Soviet Lithuanian intelligentsia, which started to raise more vociferously questions about the historical memory, greater modernism, the historical heritage, and others. During the congress, speakers spoke about the necessity for the National Gallery and the Directorate of Art Exhibitions to apply more flexibility in managing this sphere of culture, and they also spoke about the need to democratise the work of art critics, about the necessary avoidance of pitching Soviet art against modernism, the importance of the integration of contemporary art into the global context, and a broader dialogue with foreign countries. During the congress, all the old Board of the Union of Artists was changed for new people (such as Bronius Leonavičius and Arvydas Šaltenis), who a few months later became leaders of the Sąjūdis national movement. Arvydas Šaltenis, one of the leaders of contemporary artists, called this congress a 'revolutionary congress, which was noticed by a public audience' (see http://www.bernardinai.lt/straipsnis/2016-07-25-arvydas-saltenis-nereikia-meluoti-grazinti-pudruoti-tikroves/146626), and which had an impact on Sąjūdis.

The 5th Congress of Soviet Lithuanian Writers, which took place on 27-28 May 1970 in Vilnius, was a significant event among local writers, showing that ethnic values had become one of the main issues with local writers, but at the same time revealing that there were limits to Modernist expression. During the Congress, writers of the older generation, who dominated the Union of Writers, criticised their younger colleagues, calling their Modernist position Formalism. At the Congress, writers such as Eduardas Mieželaitis, Algirdas Pocius, Vytautas Bubnys and Algimantas Baltakis criticised authors such as Jonas Mikelinskas, Romualdas Lankauskas and Juozas Aputis, for disassociating themselves from tradition and everyday problems.
This document is important, because it reveals that the older generation had adapted to the stricter ideological policies of Brezhnevism, and disciplined their younger colleagues.

Transcripts of Sniečkus’ meetings with members of the Union of Lithuanian Writers at the very beginning of 1957, after the mass protests by students in Vilnius and Kaunas in 1956. During these two meetings, Lithuanian writers raised questions about the Lithuanian cultural heritage (to restore the Lithuanian street names in the cities, especially in the capital Vilnius, about the use of the Lithuanian language in administrative bodies, etc). These questions were raised by the protesters during the 1956 events. The first secretary accepted that during the Stalinist period, a lot of mistakes had been made in cultural policy. However, Sniečkus stressed that all changes in society had to come from the leadership of the LCP. These documents are known only to researchers.
