Summary/Abstract: The imperial foreign policy of the Russian Federation has led to extensive changes in the security architecture of Central and Eastern Europe. In the article the results of studies were cited. Studies were carried out in the years 2019-2020, by the method of a diagnostic survey using the technique of expert interview. Eleven experts in the field of security and defense participated in the research. The threats generated by Russia in connection with its expansive foreign policy towards Ukraine and Baltic states and their impact on the security of Poland were the subject of the research. On the basis of the results of these studies and literature review, three scenarios were developed (destabilizing, expanding the sphere of influence and isolation) which concern possible actions taken by the Russian Federation in Poland and towards Poland.
