The idea for this paper came from the study of the unique literary material, the poetry of Lithuanian partisans who led the armed struggle against the Soviet invaders (1944-1953). This poetry is a historical record of the Partisan War, as well as a testimony of authentic experiences - an articulation of particularly intense marginal experiences and existential choices. A. J. Greimas defines the subject of enunciation (or enunciator) as the logical presupposition of the enunciation, and argues that enunciation and the subject of it are present to the extent that they are found in the text itself. I would like to show that if the subject of enunciation is considered only as the place where the system of language is transformed into discourse, in the case of the poetry of Lithuanian partisans a very important aspect is overlooked, i.e. the dimension of reality, which in this particular case is essentially related to the content produced. The purposeful creation of songs and poetry that kept the fighting spirit alive was one of the driving forces behind the Resistance. However, the difficult, dramatic, painful reality of partisan life also breaks through the work of partisan poets. This reality is linked to the concrete situation and experience of the poets, their psychological state and personal choices. stan As an example I take the poetry of women partisan Diana Glemžaitė (1925-1949) and will look what kind of reality is uttered in it.
