Matseychuk did not like how the Russian media covered the action of the Polish Nazis
The controversial Polish journalist Tomasz Maciejczuk, expelled from the Russian Federation, accused the Russian media of distorting information when covering the nationalist march that took place on August 16 in Warsaw.
The event of Polish nationalists was held in honor of the celebration of the “miracle on the Vistula”, when in 1920 the Polish army was able to defeat the Red Army in the Battle of Warsaw and maintain its independence.
Matseychuk in a blog published on the website "Reedus", criticized the headlines, which indicated that the police sided with the nationalists who beat anti-fascists during the march, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
According to Matseychuk, the action of nationalists was coordinated with the police, and anti-fascists came to it illegally and tried to provoke a conflict.
“It all started with verbal altercations; threats were heard against the nationalists. Opponents of the march pushed the participants in the hope that they would be able to provoke a fight and show the nationalists as an aggressive and radical crowd. But they didn’t succeed, so they lay down on the pavement in order not to miss the further movement of the right along the street,” Matseychuk writes in his blog.
Then the police began to disperse the “leftists,” which resulted in a brawl. Maciejchuk, who sympathizes with the nationalists, notes that this was almost the first time that the police spoke out against the left, and fights between them and the right happen regularly at the events of the former or the latter: “There were cases when “antifa” from Germany and other countries came to Poland Europe, to support Polish comrades, and to use violence to stop the legal activities of the National Movement, as well as other nationalist organizations.”
Previously, Matseychuk, who became notorious thanks to his appearances on Russian TV, banned entry into the territory of the Russian Federation for a period of 30 years. The reason for this was the journalist’s anti-Russian statements, as well as his support for militants in Donbass.
As PolitNavigator reported, as a result of a search in his Moscow apartment, the police discovered “gratitude” issued to Matseychuk by the Ukrainian punitive national battalions “Donbass” and “St. Mary” “for moral and material support,” as well as patches of the same battalion.
