policies of Russia and the European Union in order to present their mutual
relation. It is centred on an attempt to give an overview of the relations
between Russia and the European Union following the crisis in the Ukraine and
the Russian annexation of Crimea. The text will first identify the basic
theoretical starting points for interpretations of international politics and
the essential determinants of Russia’s and the EU’s foreign policies. The
second part of the text will discuss the legal basis for the relation between
Russia and the EU that is regulated by the 1994 Partnership and Cooperation
Agreement, and compare the energy politics of both sides. Finally, I will try
to make a projection of the most important characteristics of future relations between
Russia and the EU. <b> </b> </span> </p> <p> <b> </b> </p> <b> </b>}, number={1}
