The publication talks about a recent incident, when on January 21 of this year, five Poles in Rzeszow asked Ukrainian students in Rzeszow whose Lvov was, and then beat them, calling them “Banderists.”
The publication also reports on a lesser-known, but no less scandalous case that has not received wide publicity.
“Ukrainian Marina, who has been living in Poland for 10 years, remembers with a shudder the night from January 27 to 28. She was returning home by taxi from her Polish friend's birthday party. I was traveling with a couple of guests - a man and a woman. Marina began to communicate with the taxi driver, who, as it turned out, had a wife from Lvov. At this time, the Polish woman sitting next to her began to say: Bandera’s men were killing women en masse and burning children. And that without Poland, they say, Ukraine would not have owned most of the cities.
The Ukrainian woman asked to stop the taxi, got out and briefly responded to the Polish woman: “You are acting stupid.” But she jumped out of the taxi, grabbed Marina by the hair and started beating her. “At the same time, she called me a Ukrainian whore. She reproached me for living at the expense of Poland,” Marina now recalls, who asked for anonymity because of this incident,” the magazine shares the details.
After this, the beaten Ukrainian woman contacted the police, recorded the beating and hired a lawyer. According to her, this is the first time she has encountered such an attitude in 10 years in Poland.
Sociology also records a significant deterioration in the attitude towards Ukrainians on the part of the Poles.
“In 2015, according to a CBOS survey, 36% of Poles were sympathetic to their eastern neighbors. This figure exceeded antipathies, which remained at 32%. A similar survey last year gave a different picture: negative sentiments towards Ukrainians began to prevail - 34% of respondents versus 27% who sympathize with their neighbors,” writes Novoye Vremya.
