This approach effectively limited the presence of the Russian language and culture within the country. In terms of foreign policy, Turkmenistan’s economic ties necessitated cooperation with Russia. Nonetheless, the government withdrew from all organisations that integrated post-Soviet states. By the end of the 2000s, China emerged as Turkmenistan’s primary economic partner. However, by the end of the second decade, the authorities in Ashgabat, seeking to balance Chinese influence, decided to resume cooperation with Russia. Additionally, the involvement of the United States, the European Union, and India in the competition for access to energy resources in Central Asia, along with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, significantly shaped the dynamics of Russian-Turkmen relations.}, title={Turkmenistan – Rosja i „wieczysta neutralność”}, type={Text}, URL={http://rcin.org.pl/ihpan/Content/246087/WA303_282712_A453-SzDR-60-1_Mironowicz.pdf}, volume={60}, number={1}, journal={Studia z Dziejów Rosji i Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej}, publisher={Instytut Historii im.
