Persistent Factors in Russian Foreign Policy

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the concept of persistent factors in the foreign policy of Alfred Rieber and places it in the context of disputes about determinism in geopolitics. At the same time, using the example of Russia, it refers to the discussions that have been conducted by Polish Sovietologists since the 1920s. The theory of persistent factors makes it possible to reconcile geopolitical and civilizational trends emphasising the importance of ‘long duration’. It is also an example of empirical investigation of evidence and a contribution to comparative research.
