Andrius Kubilius held public office at a time when the terms of that office were themselves being contested.
The record lists Andrius Kubilius as Lithuanian politician (born 1956).
Andrius Kubilius was born at Vilnius in 1956. His recorded nationality is Lithuania. He was educated at Vilnius University.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
The record of office reads: Prime Minister of Lithuania (1999–2000), Member of the Seimas (1992–1996) and Prime Minister of Lithuania (2008–2012).
His political affiliation is recorded as Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
Formal honours included the Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic (2009), Commander of the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas, Order of Prince Yaroslav the Wise, 2nd class and Grand Cross of Royal Norwegian Order of Merit.
That the career was made in Lithuania is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Andrius Kubilius's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
