During the reign of Stanilaw August unprecedented reforms were undertaken in different domains: political institutions, military, economy, education and science. Some French citizens, with pen or personal commitment took part to these reforms.

The concept of the "image of Lithuania" is widely used by different researchers of communication, public relations, management, history or literature. The historical outlook into this concept reveals the lack of common theoretical background. Thus the idea appears to be have a high lack of concept. It is complicated to speak about any common scientific attitudes towards the subject or about a certain school of research. The more comprehensive exploration into the history of "the image of Lithuania" allows us to identify two of the most important trends of research: wide-ranging analyses of the image of the country in the past and a theoretical explanation of modern public relations campaigns which aim to present Lithuania to foreign countries. The short history of the "image of Lithuania" allows us to speak about the image as part of the national identity or national memory. The image could be acknowledged as a part of certain political ambitions or even be a part of the brand of the state. The creation of the image could be understood as a passive observation or as an active campaign. Image creation, dissemination, maintenance and correction could become a profitable business

Lithuanian authors have challenges to study Russia's politics of history. The analysis is complicated because of a few factors. Diplomatic disputes and informative wars between Lithuania and Russia concerning historical questions have encouraged researches by historians but not by political scientists. In Lithuania, the questions of who and how is forming the history politics of Russia, what is its content and the function it accomplishes, remain unexamined. The analysis is further complicated by disagreement among Russian political scientists, historians, journalists, and politicians over the existence of such politics. The present analysis demonstrates that post-soviet Russia perceives the importance of historical memory, i.e. it understands that historical memory and its forms depend on the states' politics. Russia's political history genesis testifies that trends of such politics depend on the geopolitical orientation of its government. The end of the Cold War did not manage to conceal the fundamental differences between Europe and Russia. The wave of liberalism and democracy, which spread over Central and Eastern Europe as well as Russian Federation, has caused tension in Russia ruled by B. Yeltsin. Yeltsin's Russia was not able to tackle this problem by using measures of history politics in order to lessen the distance between Russia and the West. V. Putin undertook to find the solution to this situation, and he did. By using changes of international politics, he builds the image of Russia as a great power. Politics of history are subordinated to build this image; also, it is used as an instrument in domestic politics. The history politics of Russia has taken the shape of a manipulative form and serves the interests of V. Putins's power.
