|{{flag|Russia }}||<!--Date started-->||See [[Poland–Russia relations]]

Russia was one of the three [[Partitions of Poland|partitioners of Poland]], along with Austria and Prussia/Germany.

The joint German-Soviet [[invasion of Poland]] of 1939 started [[World War II]].

In recent years, relations with Russia have worsened considerably. During the [[Russo-Georgian War]] Poland stated its support for Georgia and condemned Russia's actions. The Polish believed the war was carried out by the Russians in an attempt to reestablish and reassert its dominance over its former republics.
Since 2009, however, relations with Russia somewhat improved, despite the [[Smolensk air disaster]] where the former Polish president died on what is still considered a controversial event. After the [[annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation|annexation of Crimea by Russia]] the relations deteriorated again, as Poland strongly condemned Russian actions against [[Ukraine]].

During the Cold War Poland retained a largely negative view of Britain as a sluggish ally of Poland during World War II, later acceptance of neglecting Poland in the international arena and placing it in communist influences. In communist times the UK was a part of the NATO block, so consequently it was considered by the communists as natural enemy of the communist bloc. British efforts meanwhile were focussed at trying to break Poland off from the Warsaw Pact and encouraging reforms in the country.
In the 1990s and 2000s democratic Poland has maintained close relations with Britain; both in defence matters and within the EU; Britain being one of only a few countries allowing equal rights to Polish workers upon their accession in 2004.<ref>[http://csm.org.pl/images/rte/File/Raporty%20i%20publikacje/Ksiazki/CHP_NewAtlanticist_All.pdf The New Atlanticist: Poland's Foreign and Security Policy Priorities]{{Dead link|date=December 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, pp.80-84, by Kerry Longhurst and Marcin Zaborowski, from The Royal Institute of International Affairs, first published 2007 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd., {{ISBN|978-1-4051-2646-5}} (hardback), {{ISBN|978-1-4051-2645-8}} (paperback).</ref>
