| Summary/Abstract |
Relations between Poland and the Russian Federation have been contentious in recent years. Some of the contention has revolved around competing interpretations of events leading up to and during the Second World War. Such debate, while it has its place, overlooks the lengthy history of relations between the two countries, a history in which there are commonalities and areas of co-operation as well as at times bitter conflict. There are signs these two great nations may one day find a path to a fruitful and enduring rapprochement, in their own interests, and in that of their neighbours and of the whole of Europe.
