An analysis of reviews provides a perspective on the history of the evaluation of ethnological and other works in Lithuanian studies. The article further investigates the numerous reviews of Lithuanian studies by Antanas Mažiulis (1914–2007). In order to reveal how Mažiulis understood, valued and critically approached the science, his reviews are characterised by a broad assessment of the subject matter, criticism, and at the same time, an ideological-political perspective.
