- When viewing the geopolitical map of the world, the fact that, in 2017, there exist several areas where conflicting interests of superpowers clash, can be observed. These areas include e.g. Syria and Ukraine. As far as Russia’s and the EU’s confl icting interests are concerned, the area of common neighborhood constitutes the greatest challenge for both sides. The present paper examines the situation of eastern neighborhood countries, which can be labeled as the area contested by the EU and Russia. Another term which may be applied to the region the EU and Russia compete for is the contested neighborhood. The neighborhood encompasses six post-Soviet states located on the one hand between the EU and NATO, and Russia on the other. These states encompass Belarus, Moldova, and Ukraine in Eastern Europe, and Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia in South Caucasus. The discussion of the competition will be limited in time to the 21st century, especially to the period following the outbreak of the armed confl ict in Donbas between Ukraine and Russia (officially Donbas separatists supported by Russia), and the signifi cance of the conflict for the region. Individual sections of the paper will present the specific character of the EU and Russia’s common neighborhood, and soft and hard power applied by both superpowers. Furthermore, results of the competition of the powers in eastern neighborhood in the form of events of 2014, i.e. the Euromaidan and annexation of Crimea by Russia in particular, will be discussed.
