ABSTRACT
The loss of formal influence on Intermarium states is objectively one of the most significant failures of Russian foreign policy, and the opinions formulated by political and intellectual leaders confirm this statement. The conducted research shows that the country aims to strengthen its presence and influence in this region of the world again, using various instruments of influence. The article aims to identify the instruments of the Russian Federation's influence on the Republic of Latvia and evaluate them. Recommendations for limiting the risk of negative influence from this state were also proposed.
