[full article and abstract in Lithuanian; abstract in English]
This article is aimed at presenting an insight into national identities as constructed on the basis of the heritage of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (GDL) in the major Lithuanian and Belarusian news sites (2013–2014). By performing content analysis, it was revealed that in the vast majority of news publications, either Lithuania or Belarus, respectively by country of publishing, was considered as the main or only successor of the GDL, although this narrative was not elaborated upon and was seen as self-explanatory. The neighboring state was rarely criticized and its narrative mostly considered as frivolous and not worthy of attention. A lack of contact, discussion and mutual explanation between the Lithuanian and Belarusian narratives in the public sphere means that a conflict between both national identities can be seen as hidden or potential.

By using various works of media theoreticians, in the article there are analyzed processes and changes in the constructing of political spectacle (described by Murray Edelman) which appeared in media at the time of postsoviet transition. After disintegration of Soviet Union, new media systems developed in newly independent countries. Those systems are different from their welldescribed analogues in Western Europe or United States because of their individual circumstances. Post -soviet transitionhad three stages: breakthrough, reformation and stabilization, and different circumstances. Different circumstances during the process of those stages formed distinctive relations between media and government in various countries. During these processes two different media models emerged: free model and subordinated mode!. In countries with free model media was concentrated to the profit: quality and trust in media dropped and constructing of political spectacle be came less effective. In countries with subordinated model, power and influence served as a basis for the media; because of that media crisis became insignificant and forrning ofpolitical spectacle was formed to be more effective.

Straipsnyje, remiantis žiniasklaidos teoretikų darbais, analizuojami procesai, vykę žiniasklaidoje posovietinio perėjimo laikotarpiu, taip pat aiškinamasi, kaip dėl šių procesų keitėsi Murray Edelmano aprašytas politinio spektaklio konstravimas.Suirus Sovietų Sąjungai, nepriklausomybę išsikovojusiose valstybėse atsirado galimybė formuotis naujoms žiniasklaidos sistemoms, kurios dėl savitų aplinkybių skiriasi nuo išsamiai aprašytų joms analogiškų Vakarų Europoje ir JAV. Įvairūs žiniasklaidos tyrinėtojai aprašo, kaip skirtingomis aplinkybėmis vykstant posovietinio perėjimo procesui, susidėjusiam iš trijų etapų (proveržio, reformavimo ir stabilizacijos), susiformavo du skirtingi žiniasklaidos modeliai, besiskiriantys santykiu tarp žiniasklaidos ir politinės valdžios. Straipsnyje šie modeliai vadinami laisvuoju ir subordinaciniu. Laisvojo modelio valstybėse žiniasklaidai labiausiai orientuojantis į pelną suprastėjo jos kokybė ir pasitikėjimas ja, dėl to kuriamas politinis spektaklis buvo ne toks efektyvus. Subordinacinio modelio valstybėse žiniasklaidos pagrindu tapo jos turima galia, dėl to žiniasklaidos krizės požymiai buvo menkesni, atsirado galimybė efektyviau kurti politinį spektaklį.Esminiai žodžiai: posovietinė erdvė, politinis spektaklis, žiniasklaida, posovietinis perėjimas.
