Summary/Abstract: The article presents the youth’s attitudes towards different nations. The research was conducted using the survey method. The auditorium questionnaire was carried out among secondary school students. The research sample was selected using quota sampling. The research was conducted in four borderlands in Poland, three borderlands in Ukraine and one borderland in Hungary. The results of the research have shown that in each of the researched countries, well‑developed and rich nations are valued more highly by the youth, whereas the poor, post‑communist nations are less appreciated. The youth was the least sympathetic towards Muslims. The analyses have shown that the main factors determining the attitudes towards neighbours were the historical background and socio‑political relations between the countries. Socio‑economical relations in the borderlands had little influence on the youth’s attitudes.
