Summary/Abstract: Polish-Russian relations at the turn of 2005 were in a state of visible crisis, standing out even against the background of basically cold relations of both states within the previous 15 years. While Poland’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations were the traditional controversial issue in mutual relations, together with other problems left over from the past and a different perception of the issue of human rights, in autumn 2004, at the time of the “Orange Revolution” in Ukraine, new controversial issues emerged with full force that—in the foreseeable future—may have a fundamental significance for the future of mutual neighbouring relations.
