Abstract: The article analyzes one of the Lithuanian experiments in constructing some form of pro-fascist political system during 1930s, specifically focusing on the events leading to the establishment of the Lithuanian section of the Italian-led Action Committees for the Universality of Rome (CAUR). One of its initial goals and functions was facilitation of the processes of fascistization of the country. However, even though officially the Lithuanian CAUR section functioned from 1934 and until 1939, yet, thanks to the unwillingness of the Lithuanian political elites to proceed down the path of fascism, this led to the section’s gradual demise.
