One of the biggest imponderables in the process of Polish-German rapprochement at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s was the reaction of the Federation of Expellees (BdV) and its partner organizations. Despite the attempts undertaken by BdV to contest the final recognition of the Oder-Neisse border by the German state, the organization failed to gain allies. It had to accept the political reality and the decisions of the state, and find new areas of activity for itself, for which the Polish–German Treaty of Good Neighbourship and Friendly Cooperation laid solid foundations.

The article examines the issue of German-Russian relations at the level of state leaders after the end of the Cold War. These bilateral contacts involved different phases. The first phase was dominated by personalization, which was characterized by friendly relations between Helmut Kohl and Boris Yeltsin. After Gerhard Schröder took the office of chancellor, a short phase of depersonalization in the relations between Schröder and Yeltsin followed. After Vladimir Putin took power in Russia, the personalization phase returned, manifested by friendly contacts between Schröder and Putin, which ended when Angela Merkel assumed the office of chancellor. Her relations with Putin and Medvedev were of a pragmatic nature, aimed at solving current problems in international relations. The article describes the above-mentioned relations between the leaders and their influence on bilateral relations between the two states.
