Article Title：Marija Gimbutas: Some observations about her early years, 1921-1944

Abstract：
Many scholars emphasize the Soviet Union's invasion of Lithuania in 1940 as the first traumatic event in Marija Gimbutas' life, but she was exposed to conflict from the time of her birth. She was born in Vilnius, a city that was at the root of conflict between Lithuanians and Poles during the 1920s and 1930s. It is unclear why she created an image of a peaceful 'Goddess-oriented Old Europe', as her life was inseparable from various ethnic and ideological conflicts of 20th-century Europe.
