The American Factor In Russian-Lithuanian Relations
The American Factor In Russian-Lithuanian Relations

Summary/Abstract: The Russian Federation and Lithuania are two independent states with developed full-scale bilateral relations, but it is difficult to neglect the American factor in these relations. On the one hand, such controversial processes as NATO enlargement are strongly affected by Washington’s policy. On the other hand, strong cooperation with the U.S. and its growing presence in the region is among key Lithuanian foreign policy priorities. Though Russia has its own interests in the Baltic region, it is also interested in arranging its relations with the U.S. in a non-confrontational way. The aim of this article is to investigate the impact of the American factor on Russian-Lithuanian relations.
