Summary

Description
English: Comparison of articles in two Belarusian Wikipedias about Lithuanians (Lithuanian: Lietuviai), demonstrating influence of Belarusian nationalistic Litvinism ideology to its content.[1] In the Belarusian Classical Orthography Wikipedia article Летувісы the Lithuanians (Lietuviai) are described as "Letuvisy" [Летувісы] and historically as "Žamojty" [жамойты] (Samogitians), while in the popularier Belarusian Wikipedia article Літоўцы the Lithuanians (Lietuviai) are primarily described as "Litoŭcy" [Літоўцы] and secondary as "Letuvisy" [Летувісы], but without historically completely equating them to the Samogitians (Lithuanian: Žemaičiai), who represent only one Lithuanian ethnic group and are not identical to Aukštaitians and others.[2][3]
Some Litvinist ideology promoters like Belarusian historian Alexander Kravtsevich (Belarusian: Аляксандар Краўцэвіч) seeks to segregate terms "Lietuviai" (a word in the Lithuanian language meaning Lithuanians, but according to Kravtsevich "Lietuviai" were Catholic Samogitians (жамойты) in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania), "Lietuva" (a word in the Lithuanian language meaning Lithuania) from "Litovcy" (a word in some Slavic languages, including Belarusian language, meaning Lithuanians), "Litva" (a word in the Slavic languages, including Belarusian, meaning Lithuania) and accuses Lithuanians (Lietuviai) that they assigned the whole history of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania for themselves after proclaiming the restoration of an independent State of Lithuania in 1918 and maintaining it.[4] Nevertheless, terms which starts with traditional Lithuanian roots "Let" and "Liet" has a significant and historical usage as well.[5] For example, in early German chronicles the name of Lithuania was spelled Lettowen and in Latin as Lethovia, Lettovia, Lettavia,[5] Lithuanian monarch Gediminas in the 14th century titled himself in Latin letter to Pope John XXII as "Gedeminne, letwinorum et multorum ruthenorum rex" (which literally translates to English as "Gediminas, by the grace of God, King of the Lithuanians and many Ruthenians"), his son Algirdas after becoming the Lithuanian monarch appeared as "rex Letwinorum" (English: King of Lithuania) in the Livonian Chronicles, and Algirdas' son Jogaila, being a Lithuanian monarch since 1377, used a seal in 1377–1386 with a Latin gothic minuscule "* ia ‚ gal * - dey * gracia * r - ex - in * lettow" (which literally translates to English as "Jogaila, by the Grace of God, King in Lithuania"), while the name of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in the Lithuanian language publishing even in the mid-17th century was still written "dides Kunigiſtes Lietuwos", etc.[6][7][8] Furthermore, Lithuanian (Lietuviai) ethnicity consists not only of Samogitians (Lithuanian: Žemaičiai), but also of Aukštaitians (the largest Lithuanian ethnic group) and the region of Aukštaitija is known in the written sources since the late 13th century when Peter of Dusburg described it as "Austechia, terra regis Lethowie" (English: Aukštaitija, the land of Lithuanians King), while some German sources also titled Lithuanian monarch Gediminas as "Rex de Owsteiten" (King of Aukštaitija).[3][9][10][11]
Lietuvių: Dviejų baltarusiškų Vikipedijų straipsnių apie lietuvius palyginimas, parodantis baltarusių nacionalistinės litvinizmo ideologijos įtaką jų turiniui. Baltarusių klasikinės ortografijos Vikipedijos straipsnyje „Летувісы“ lietuviai apibūdinami kaip „Letuvisy“ [Летувісы] ir istoriškai kaip „Žamojty“ [жамойты] (žemaičiai), o populiaresnės baltarusių Vikipedijos straipsnyje „Літоўцы“ visų pirma lietuviai apibūdinami kaip „Litoŭcy“ [Літоўцы], o antra – kaip „Letuvisy“ [Летувісы], tačiau lietuviai visiškai istoriškai nesutapatinami tik su viena iš lietuvių etnine grupe – žemaičiais, kurie nėra tapatūs aukštaičiams ir kt. Pasak litvinizmo ideologijos propaguotojų (pvz., baltarusių istoriko Aleksandro Kravcevičiaus), lietuviai yra žemaičiai, o baltarusiai – „tikrieji“ lietuviai (litvinai), o dalis litvinistų kelia ir teritorines pretenzijas Lietuvai.
