Contemporary Polish-Russian relations: conditions, issues, implications
Abstract
Contemporary Polish-Russian relations are examined, taking into consideration the broad
internal conditions in Poland and in Russia. Negative mutual stereotypes prevail in both countries,
shaped in the course of a complicated history of mutual relations, while the concepts of
international policies in both states are underdeveloped and divergent. Polish-Russian relations
are increasingly more influenced by external conditions, such as the profound change
Europe is going through and the evolution of the entire international order. The most important
modern issues in Polish-Russian relations concern the persistent differences in the perception
of the history of mutual relations, dissimilar concepts of the European security
system, and energy security. The conditions of relations between Poland and Russia affect Poland’s
ability to pursue its international interests in many areas: in relations with Russia and
the CIS, in the forum of international organizations (NATO, EU, Council of Europe, OSCE
and the UN), in relations with Poland’s closest allies and partners (Germany, France, U.S. and
Ukraine). Finally, Polish-Russian relations influence the position and international role of Poland,
limiting it when these relations are bad or augmenting it when they are good. Since late
2007 Poland has been trying to conduct a pragmatic policy and normalize its relations with
Russia. In general, Polish-Russian reconciliation seems feasible.
