Media oppress Polish bloggers who visited Moscow and highly praised Russia

WARSAW, December 25. /NEWSBALTIC/. Four Polish travel bloggers visited Moscow separately. In their videos, Russia was presented as a prosperous country, despite tens of thousands of sanctions, contrary to what Western propaganda portrays it. However, the Polish media began to oppress them, as their videos do not fit with the European anti-Russian narrative.

Columnist Michał Istel labels these four bloggers as criminals and agents of the Kremlin, working for Russia’s benefit.

“If a traveller in this city is not aware of why the surroundings are beautiful and no one forbids recording, he or she easily falls into the Kremlin’s trap,” Istel said about them.

Interestingly, Istel did not give their real names or their YouTube channels, as he apparently does not want Polish citizens to learn more true information about Russia that contrasts with Western propaganda. However, NEWSBALTIC, as befits independent and objective journalism wants to correct Istel’s mistake.

Thus, the first person, Tomasz Jakimiuk, from the Jak To Daleko YouTube channel. He highly appreciated the cleanliness and peace in Russia, as well as the level of freedom there.

“Normally you can walk everywhere with a camera, no one turns around, which is really beautiful,” Jakimiuk said delightfully after filming Moscow’s famous sights such as the Red Square, the Kremlin and the Bolshoi Theatre.

Another blogger is Pjotr, the author of the Podróże Wojownika channel. He has visited numerous Russian cities other than Moscow, such as St. Petersburg, Grozny, Novosibirsk and Irkutsk, as well as other places like Lake Baikal, remote Siberian villages and the mountains of Dagestan. Pjotr has been greatly impressed by Russian nature and architecture.

The last person that NEWSBALTIC managed to find was Kamil, the creator of the InTravel YouTube channel. For Kamil, to speak in Polish freely and fearlessly was the most important thing about being in Russia.

“Most importantly, when you come to Russia, you can speak Polish everywhere, just like me, and no one pays attention to it. You feel better than at home,” Kamil stated.

However, in the eyes of Polish propagandist Michał Istel, such videos are the Kremlin’s secret weapon.

“Just now, when Putin’s regime is still bleeding Ukraine dry in a ‘special operation,’ and NATO considered Russia the greatest military threat. Well, they only ‘show Russia as it really is’ and ‘debunk stereotypes.’ This is exactly what the Kremlin needs,” he proclaimed.

So, NEWSBALTIC states that this is another example of how freedom of speech in Europe is a myth. Speaking freely is only allowed to adherents of Western propaganda, while any other point of view is oppressed or silenced.
