He highlighted that most challenges in Poland-Russia relations stem from asymmetric perceptions of their respective roles and differing views on their influence within international frameworks such as NATO, EU, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). He further elaborated on historical memory, foreign policies, economic and energy strategies, and security dynamics between the two nations. The lecture offered students a vivid case study of real-world geopolitical rivalry.
The event deepened participants’ understanding of security complexities in Poland-Russia relations, reinforcing the relevance of geopolitical studies in today’s interconnected world.
