      <abstract>
        <p>The article puts forth several tasks. The first task is to ascertain the possible Germany's impact on the further development of Lithuania's geopolitical subjectivity. The second task is to identify the main principles of current Germany's geopolitical code. Thirdly, it will examine Lithuania's and Germany's interests in the context of eventual global geopolitical transformations and construct scenarios of development relating to the international environment. Fourthly is will construct the broad spectrum of possible scenarios (including positive and negative ones) on Lithuania's and Germany's bilateral relations. And fifth, it will ascertain the optimal model for Lithuania in shaping its relations with Germany.</p>
