Vivtonenko, S.V. The Western vector of the geopolitical development of Latvia after the breakup of the Soviet Union.

Abstract: Geopolitical interests of Russia in the Baltic sphere (including Latvia) remain unchanged, and the pro-Western orientation of Latvia only calls for deeper and more detailed monitoring and analysis of the events there, which is necessary to form new political and diplomatic means of cooperation with Latvia, while the same model can be applied to other former USSR states in the future.
