The aim of the research is to ground the statement that exile memoirs changed from documentary and political works to subjective ones, analyzing personal problems. The object of the work is the memoirs by exile writers. Analytical, descriptive and hermeneutical methods are used. The theory of autobiography by French theoretician Philippe Lejeune (1989) and the theoretical insights while analyzing autobiographical texts by Vytautas Kavolis (1998) were chosen as the theoretical background. In the research, the memoir books were divided into memoirs and genre transformations. Memoirs are subdivided into documentary and literary. The documentary memoirs start dominating around 1940, when Lithuanian was occupied by soviets. This fact is commented by the writers-politicians V. Krėvė, L. Dovydėnas and I. Šeinius, who closely observed the situation. Their memoirs are distinct because of relevant topics for the time, i.e. the abundance of facts, historical events and political details. Around 1950-1965, politics in the memoirs is changed by the problem of the relationship between the person and time or history. A distinctive feature of these texts is the abundance of tropes, figurative details, fictional elements and they are quite subjective (M. Vaitkus, J. Aistis, St. Yla, etc). The research emphasizes that at the end of the XX century (1965-2000) subjectivity becomes the main feature in order to describe memoirs. In the memory books, the focus is on the person and other people; the peculiarities of personal life get the most attention and change history and politics (J. Narūnė, M. Aukštaitė, E. Juodvalkė ir kt.). The transformations of the memoir genre (Pulgis Andriušis, J. Savickis, P. Orintaitė, B. Raila) are more common in the 6-7 decades of the XX century. This means the development of the usual genre, when the term memoirs is not sufficient to define the genre of the books. Fictionality and a double expression of the events, memoir and autobiography, essay or diary, are common for the texts.

Publication provides an analysis of egodocuments (sensu stricto) publishing in Lithuania from XX century 10 decade to XXI century. Changes in society brought by XX century transformed publishing process and literature field. 5 publishing houses owned by the government ("Vaga", "Vyturys", "Mintis", "Mokslas", "Šviesa") were accompanied by many private enterprises, which instantly responded to the reader's request of such publications, which in Soviet times were not available or had never been published because of ideological censorship. At the 9 decade of XX century autobiographical writing, autobiographical cultural practices became very popular. This happened mainly because of tendency for individual to witness history, be a part of historical events. The dissemination of egodocuments through traditional and digital publishing, participation in social networks becomes important storage of cultural memory and object of scientific research. Vytautas Kubilius' s published letters and diaries demonstrates publishing tendencies of Lithuania and the context of egodocument's publishing.

Juozas Baltušis: the Outlook and Works of a Soviet Writer Juozas Baltušis (1909–1991) was a Lithuanian writer, politician and public figure. He also worked in the radio and the press. Some of his most popular works are the "Tale of Juza", "Sold Summers" and the memoirs titled "What You Ate the Salt With". J. Baltušis was a writer valued by the Soviet Government and his readers. He was given the honorary title of folk writer and was an active participant in the public Soviet life. The writer had important administrative and political positions. During his meetings with the audience, when giving public speeches and participating in TV shows, J. Baltušis promoted the achievements of the Soviet Union and criticized the rotten West and the trouble-ridden past of the independent Lithuania. His unique social status granted him certain privileges. J. Baltušis was often associated with betrayals of other writers and controversial speeches regarding the endeavors to restore the independence of Lithuania. When the reformation movement started, J. Baltušis found it difficult to adapt to the rapidly changing conditions. Thus, he never joined the Reform Movement of Lithuania and kept to his communism ideals until his death. While some of the writer's ideas were consistent, others changed along with the political situation and the age. The Master Thesis presents an analysis of the many-sided personality of J. Baltušis by going through each of the aspects and revealing the entirety of the writer's ideas, his value system, lifestyle and peculiarities of his creative works. The research revealed the ambivalent nature of J. Baltušis: he presented himself one way when in public and seemed completely different at home when writing his diary. The attitudes of J. Baltušis had radical differences. The research object of the Master Thesis titled "Juozas Baltušis: the Outlook and Works of a Soviet Writer" is the lifestyle and creative endeavors of the writer J. Baltušis as revealed in his diary and public speeches. The research delves deeper into the approaches held by J. Baltušis towards relevant historic and political issues, the Soviet society and the Soviet regime and his value system. The paper also analyzes the relation between the writer and his ideas presented in public during the Soviet Time as defined in the autobiographical documents. The goals of the study are to reveal the approach to lifestyle of J. Baltušis that is evident in his public behavior and personal life, the unique formation of the image of "other me", to review the writer's political views and their relations to public activities, and to discuss the qualities of the creative endeavors of the writer as revealed in his autobiographical documents. Nowadays, the Soviet times are viewed simplistically and attempts are made to group all the writers into clear-cut categories. Meanwhile, attempts to encompass the contradictory entirety of ideas and behavior of people during the Soviet times are far and few between. The personality and personal belongings of J. Baltušis oppose the schematic view towards the Soviet times and help to reveal and get insights into the complex and contradictory nature of the Soviet reality. The topic is relevant due to the novel nature of the research: the paper analyzes all of the preserved diary volumes of J. Baltušis that are stored in the Lithuanian Archive of Literature and Art. The periodic publication titled Years had published only several fragments of the said diary. The analysis is based on the research of autobiographical documents carried out by Rudolf Dekker and Philipp Lejeune and the works of Rimantas Glinskis and Gitana Vanagaitė who adapted the theories formulated by the first researchers of autobiographical documents in the analysis of the diaries and memoirs of Lithuanian authors. The paper is also based on the concept of homo sovieticus and the concept of ketman derived in "The Captive Mind essay" by Cz. Miłosz.

While analyzing the current supply of the working force, it is worth noticing that every third unemployed person is non-qualified and approximately one fourth of the unemployed, who are registered by the Labor Exchange Office, haven't worked for long periods of time (Jovaiša, Orenienė 2003). These figures demonstrate the gap between the current situation in Lithuania and socio-economic model of the European Union that features the well-being of the state, low levels of unemployment, solid social guarantees, a minimal number of those living in poverty. Even though the employment rates in Lithuania are going up these days and the unemployment is decreasing, the number of unemployed people is still high. The unemployed are subject to social isolation and vulnerability. Because of these specifics, the integration of the unemployed into the work market needs to be treated with a special attitude and application of non-standard solutions while helping them to find a job. On the other hand, the controversy between unemployed people's unwillingness to change as well as the lack of motivation and the mission of the Labor Exchange Office to employ these people can be observed here. This system can be compared to a vicious circle, because the majority of the unemployed are being registered by the Labor Exchange Office for several times in a row, and they do not want to participate in the courses provided by the Labor Exchange Office (updating qualification or changing it). If they are employed, they do not hold the job for a longer period of time. The unemployed, especially those who haven't worked for a longer period of time, often have limited opportunities to compete in the work market, because the majority of them do not have professional training, possess an occupation that is not in demand or do not have enough practice. Those who are not able to find a job for a longer period of time lose trust in their chances to find a job or quit looking for it. Psychological tension and negative view of oneself builds up and social isolation increases in this way (Jovaiša 2002, Kučinskienė 2003). When the period of unemployment gets too long, it becomes hard for a person to change his/her occupation, financial situation gets worse, and many unemployed people treat this condition as something uncontrollable. Moreover, unemployed people's inability to find a job directly influences the economical well-being of the state. In this context, only the cooperative efforts of the Labor Exchange Office and the unemployed themselves can end up with a larger number of employment cases. While planning the integration of the unemployed into the work market, a reasonable number of methods, recommendations, questionnaires, rules of scientific research are being applied by the Labor Exchange Office, but it is not easy to reach an effective result soon. If the unemployed do not get a job even though they are registered by the Labor Exchange Office, maybe it is wise to change the style of consulting? Coaching haven't been used by the Labor Exchange Office before, so the opportunities of applying this style of consulting compose the essence and main problem of this written work. The object of research – the effectiveness of coaching. The aim of research – to evaluate the effectiveness of coaching in integration of the unemployed into the work market. The tasks of research: 1. To overview the theories of consulting, especially coaching, and present the differences between this method and traditional ways of consulting. 2. To define whether coaching is effective in integration of the unemployed into the work market. The methods of research: - by using the analysis of the scientific sources it was attempted to define traditional ways of consulting as well as coaching and find differences between them, - analysis of the documents was used in order to define the means that are being used by the Labor Exchange Office for consulting of the unemployed, - autobiographical method was applied in order to describe the participants of the research and to define primary situation of these participants, - activity research was chosen in order to describe and discover the effectiveness of coaching for consulting of the unemployed, - method of reflection was applied in order to define the change that took place in the participants between the primary and secondary phases after coaching had been applied.
