The article analyses the public opinion that in 1935–1936 was prevalent among the population of Užnemunė region (with regard to farmers’ strike) and propaganda worded by the organizers of the strike and the government that was influential of the said opinion. Proclamations issued by the organizers of the farmers’ strike contained various demands of economic (increase procurement prices for agricultural products, defer payments, etc.) and political (grant freedom of speech, press, association and independent democratic elections) nature. Semi-official newspaper Lietuvos aidas viewed the farmers’ strike as an anti-State activity organized by a slender group(s) of people which failed to win significant support from the society. Communists were for the most part accused of the instigation of the strike. Greatest hostility towards the government among the population of Užnemunė region was felt in August-September of 1935. In the winter of 1935 and spring of 1936 support to the strike in the region decreased, however, discontent with economic hardship that the country was experiencing was still strongly felt. In the second half of 1936 as the economic situation in the country was improving, the farmers’ strike lost support among the majority of the region’s population.
