Democratic regimes are vulnerable if they are based on formal democratic procedures and institutions. Persistence and effective working of democracy needs civic support and will to accept its rules. Citizens are able to choose various means to influence political processes, although not all means and ways have equal value in terms of consolidation of the democratic regime. Analysis of the survey data on Lithuanian population leads to differentiation of four categories of citizens: the moderately trustful, the moderately distrustful, actively distrustful and passively distrustful. The categories demonstrate statistically significant differences in several respects: age, economic status, its evaluation before 1990, membership in NGOs, interpersonal trust, life trust, and evaluation of procedural justice in local government institutions.
