Summary/Abstract: Since the collapse of the USSR, in relations between Moscow and the West, we have been able to distinguish periods of relative friendship and cooperation as well as times of tensions and divergences of interests. However, the current crisis, which has originated in the annexation of Crimea and the war in Donbas, resembles the time of the Cold War. The increase in defense spending, intensification of military maneuvers and improvement of combat capability across the border between Russia and Euro-Atlantic space are just some of the indicators of the current relations. Therefore, the Moscow strategy is worth analyzing in the context of further shaping of the relations with the Euro-Atlantic community. For this purpose, it will be appropriate to carry out the exegesis of the basic Russian strategic documents, and then to try to analyse them taking into account the real policy of the Kremlin.
