A community-maintained tertiary reference on Romuva, directly examined. Its strength is a continuous, dated organizational lineage from a predecessor figure through a Soviet-era clandestine group to post-independence official recognition; its limit is a Wikipedia community article rather than a Baltic religious studies monograph, which is why it sits at reliability tier three.
