Abstract

Abstract The Kaliningrad issue has always been part of several contexts of Lithuanian foreign policy and security assurance. That is why it is significant to look at what relationship models Lithuania has tried to implement with Kaliningrad and what opportunities and threats it has created for Lithuania. This article analyses the Kaliningrad factor, which became apparent during Vladimir Putin’s rule, in Russia’s relations with Lithuania, the EU, and NATO, and assesses the aspects of both “hard” and “soft” security. We argue that it is important to consider what Kaliningrad Oblast means to Russia, what role it plays in its foreign policy, how it is changing and what the dynamics of the EU and Lithuania’s relations with Kaliningrad has recently been, and what the possible and desirable scenarios of Lithuania’s cooperation with Kaliningrad could be.
立陶宛与俄罗斯关系中的加里宁格勒因素:对立陶宛安全问题的启示
加里宁格勒问题一直是立陶宛外交政策和安全保障的若干脉络的一部分。这就是为什么有必要看看立陶宛试图与加里宁格勒建立什么样的关系模式,以及它为立陶宛创造了什么样的机会和威胁。本文分析了加里宁格勒因素,这一因素在弗拉基米尔·普京统治期间在俄罗斯与立陶宛、欧盟和北约的关系中变得明显,并评估了“硬”和“软”安全的各个方面。我们认为,重要的是要考虑加里宁格勒州对俄罗斯意味着什么,它在其外交政策中扮演什么角色,它是如何变化的,欧盟和立陶宛与加里宁格勒的关系最近是什么动态,以及立陶宛与加里宁格勒合作的可能和可取的情况。
