Summary / Abstract:

ENStalin’s foreign policy was an important factor for post-war Polish – Lithuanian relations. Stalin’s regime left a deep scar in the memories of Lithuanians and Poles in emigration and brought about a change in their geopolitical imagination. By analysing the case of Lithuanian-Polish relationship in emigration, this article shows how Stalinism was manifested in Soviet foreign policy and demonstrates how this policy and its cruelties caused and even determined the political imagination of its neighbours in the West, the Poles and the Lithuanians. While this geopolitical imagination could not be legally achieved in occupied Lithuania and Poland, a Soviet satellite state, emigres in the West were undoubtedly thinking about a different outcome for their countries. Keywords: Polish-Lithuanian relations, emigration, soviet foreign policy. [From the publication]
