The magazine "Valstybė" (The STATE) was founded to provide the Lithuanian society and its elite with the most comprehensive analysis of the ongoing processes; to expose the influence of Russia and the forces working in its favour to corrupt and compromise the functioning of democracy; to mobilise the democratic and patriotic forces in business, politics and society, to unite and strive for energy independence, to de-oligarchise the informational space, and to strive for economic, social and democratic progress. Fifteen years ago, the magazine was launched as a monthly magazine, but today it is published twice a year and provides analysis of the most important processes.
