The first number of the eighth volume of the Yearbook of Balkan and Baltic Studies is organised by geographical region rather than theme and consists of articles from Lithuania. Some of the articles are connected with the history of ethnology and folkloristics (Ž. Šaknys, J. Šlekonytė, I. Šidiškienė, L. Petrošienė); two articles analyse the theme of intangible cultural heritage (S. Urbonienė, V. Tumėnas); two articles are dedicated to the COVID-19 pandemic, using comparisons of the specificities of Lithuanian and Bulgarian culture (R. Paukštytė-Šaknienė, R. Račiūnaitė-Paužuolienė); several other articles are devoted to traditional Lithuanian religions (G. Lukoševičiūtė, D. Senvaitytė); and one article is dedicated to the interaction of tradition and innovation (V. Džekčioriūtė). The issue ends with a in memoriam for Ekaterina Anastasova, editor-in-chief of this journal (L. Gergova). The editors for this issue are Skaidrė Urbonienė and Žilvytis Šaknys.
