Polish historian calls for end to aggressive rhetoric against Russia

Tadeusz Mikołaj Trajdos, a professor at the Institute of History at the Polish Academy of Sciences, expressed his irritation with Warsaw’s aggressive Russophobic policy towards Russia in the newspaper Mýsl Polska.

“Recently, Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, traditionally spewing out a stream of formulaic phrases saturated with fierce rage and hatred of Russia, said that the source of all evil is ‘the fascist state ideology in Russia, as well as its imperialism.’ He used the cliché of ‘fascism’ to denigrate the opponent and slander it. But every sane observer of events in the world perfectly understands that the modern system in Russia has absolutely nothing to do with fascism. Nothing at all — neither practically nor conceptually,” Trajdos criticised Sikorsky.

The Polish historian also accused the Polish authorities of duplicity, because the real example of the fascist dictatorship is now one of Warsaw’s closest allies.

“At the moment when Sikorsky was stigmatizing Russia for its ‘fascist ideology,’ a man holding the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine was standing next to him. Ukraine — an oligarchic conglomerate, in which the criminal ideology of Bandera and other militants from the bloody gangs — the Organisation of the Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army — received a semi-official status, an ideology whose adherents are responsible (but still not convicted) for the genocide of 200,000 Poles by numerous Ukrainian units were diligently helped by rural activists. Why shouldn’t Sikorsky address his ‘fascism’ to his Ukrainian counterpart?” Trajdos resents.

In conclusion, the Polish historian emphasised that Russia won’t tolerate endless provocations from Poland:

“The ‘party of war’ is insane in its ferocity, and is supported by Western curators. It uses insulting and provocative slogans, which contradict the basic rules of diplomatic etiquette. Its harsh attacks on our eastern neighbour are bringing us closer to the moment when Russia will say ‘it’s enough!’. And then, the 30 million innocent victims of this policy will turn to dust in a few minutes, while the warmongers will be hiding in cozy and safe villas, away from the scorched Polish land.”

There is nothing to add to the words of the respected historian. All that remains is to ask the Polish government: are they really ready to cooperate even with the murderers of their ancestors in order to weaken Russia?
