Sytuacja geopolityczna Estonii w polityce zagranicznej Federacji Rosyjskiej
Estonia's Geopolitical Situation in the Foreign Policy of the Russian Federation

Summary/Abstract: When the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991, the geopolitical situation in Central and Eastern Europe changed dramatically. Although independent states had been newly constituted, the Russian Federation, heir to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, pursued its dominance and intervention in the affairs of neighbouring regions, including Estonia. At present, however, in view of the reconstruction of the global socioeconomic order, there is an assumption that the Baltic States will become an object of increased interest and influence of the Russian Federation, which in turn constitutes the subject of exploration of this academic paper. The objective of this paper is to show the prerequisites and challenges for the Baltic States, with a special focus on Estonia, exposed to the neo-imperial policy of the Russian Federation. This topic is extremely relevant and timely, particularly in the run-up to the reconstruction of the global balance of power in the international arena – especially in Central and Eastern Europe.
