Abstract: This article offers a discourse analysis of ideas of international brotherhood in Central and Eastern Europe. Taking the example of brotherly ideas centred on the Caucasus in Polish and Serbian media, it examines structures and dynamics of the imagined brotherly connections between these nations. Using the sociology of knowledge approach to discourse (SKAD) and critical geopolitics as a theoretical framework, a three-tier model of circulation of geopolitical imaginations is developed. The analysis interprets the emergence of brotherly ideas as resulting from the elite search for new geopolitical certainties after 1989.
