Ewolucja roli obwodu królewieckiego w polityce zagranicznej i bezpieczeństwa Federacji Rosyjskiej po 1991 roku

The process of disintegration of the Soviet Union has led not only to the geopolitical changes in Europe and in the world, but also to the fact that the issue of the Kaliningrad Region became the subject of interest from countries and international organizations. The Russian exclave has been the subject of debate and political controversy both in Russia and in Europe. Initially it was a result of the militarization of Kaliningrad Region and speculation regarding the change in its status. Later, the issue of Kaliningrad Region appeared primarily in the context of the enlargement of the European Union to the east. The importance of the Russian enclave should be considered not only in terms of geopolitical location, but mainly in the context of political, economic or military conditions.
