For the fourth consecutive year, we present the Democracy Sustainability Barometer, aiming to systematically measure, evaluate, and compare the attitudes of Lithuanian residents toward democracy and their resilience to propaganda from authoritarian states in the East.

The study examines the sustainability of democracy in Lithuania, evaluating public trust in Lithuanian governmental institutions and support for the defense of democracy. It also analyzes the influence of authoritarian states, particularly Russia, through economic and political narratives, as well as the public's resilience to them. Finally, it discusses the limitations of democracy and value-related issues to summarize key findings and provide an analysis of the situation.

This study presents the Democratic Sustainability Barometer, an index comprising four intermediary indexes. These indexes measure different dimensions of public evaluation of democracy, namely the perception of elements of liberal democracy, the support for the active defence of democracy by means of protests, satisfaction with democracy in Lithuania, and trust in Lithuania’s state institutions.
