Abstract

Relations between Russia Federation and western countries are heating up again due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict related to the annexation of the Crimean region. Russia made an attempt to the annexation of Crimea precisely in 2014, it turns out this annexation effort is supported directly by the Crimean community that many belong to the ethnic community of Russia. Crimea for the Federation of Russia is a strategic place to expand its influence in Europe, especially Eastern Europe. Clearly, the effort to annex this region has been heavily criticized internationally including Poland. At present, the Polish state has become one of Russia's greatest critics in its many controversial policies. Including in 1968 although the new Polish state was founded in 1989, resistance to Russia was already present at that time. The author on this occasion uses a Level of Analysis (Individual) approach with the Psycobiography method in reviewing Polish foreign policy towards the Russian-Ukrainian conflict by tracing the temporal study of the elected president (2010-2015), Bronislaw Komorowski of this country from childhood to president. Leaders are the key to a country's foreign policy, this trend is enormous and can be used as a basis for foreign policy making of a country. The author's judgment in many policies issued by Poland in addressing the Crimean conflict in 2014 has been somewhat influenced by the personal life and values held by its leaders.
