Zbigniew Brzeziński – a Portrait of an Outstanding Strategist

Abstracts

EN

Zbigniew Brzeziński was one of the leading figures influencing the creation of international reality. His concepts, ideas, ideas are widely echoed not only in the United States but all over the world. From an early age, this American political scientist of Polish origin showed interest in international relations, the best example of which is the letter he sent at a very young age to Winston Churchill’s headquarters with a map, where he marked the right border between Poland and the Soviet Union. It was an expression of dissatisfaction with the arrangements made at the Tehran conference. The spectrum of interests of this great strategist is very wide. However, he devoted most of his attention to what was happening in the Kremlin. He was actively involved in the foreign policy of the United States, on which he had a great influence, especially during the presidency of Jimmy Carter. In his administration, he was the president’s advisor for national security. He was a supporter of a tough course in international relations, which is why he was perceived as a „hawk”. The levels of Zbigniew Brzeziński’s dynamically developing scientific and political career, I prove that he is both a theoretician, practitioner and politician actively involved in various areas of international politics. Among the numerous events influencing the development of Brzeziński’s political career, he was undoubtedly appointed in 1973 by David Rockeffeller as the head of the Trilateral Commission, where he met Carter, as it later turned out, the president of the United States, in whose election campaign he was heavily involved.
