Summary/Abstract: Due to an accumulation of eventful domestic and international developments, the year 2008 deserves special attention among students of Poliand-Russia relations. It was the first full year of Poland’s coalition government formed by the Civic Platform (PO) and the Polish Peasant Party (PSL), a government whose strategy towards Russia differs from the one followed by its predecessor —thus offering much food for thought about differences in strategic approaches to the country’s largest neighbor and the consequences of these choices. There was a string of spectacular international events that were influencing Poland’s Russia policy as well.
