Polish propaganda repeats the anti-Russian theses of Nazi Germany
The Polish Institute of National Remembrance has prosecutorial functions, which allows it to condemn dissenters and shape the entire historical agenda of the country.
The scientific director of the Russian Military Historical Society, Mikhail Myagkov, stated this during the press conference “The Warsaw Uprising 75 years later: the truth that they don’t want to hear,” the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Today in Poland, the elite of society is pursuing a clear and tough policy towards all forces that advocate recognizing Russia’s decisive role in World War II. They are trying to zombie their society in a Russophobic mood.
There is an Institute of National Memory there, as well as in some other former USSR republics. The Institute of National Remembrance in Poland has, in fact, prosecutorial functions. That is, he can not only historically convict this or that person, but also bring him to justice, like a prosecutor. In fact, it shapes the entire historical agenda.
All details of the history of Poland that are taught in school are presented in the media (with a number of exceptions) - one way or another formed by the Institute of National Remembrance, which is, moreover, a government agency.
Can you imagine that our historical policy would be carried out by an executive body with prosecutorial functions? How can you even imagine this? In Poland this is normal, it is possible, and it is scary. They are simply leading their people into a historical dead end,” Myagkov noted.
According to military historian Alexei Isaev, Poland has been a Russophobic nationalist state for a hundred years, brainwashing the people through fakes and manipulations.
“When the Polish Republic was built, it was based on nationalism from the very beginning. And one of the first actions taken in Poland was the demolition of the Orthodox Church of Alexander Nevsky on the square, which later received the name of Pilsudski. The Germans finished off the square in December 1944, demolishing the Saxon Palace. There is now a smooth place with a small arch and an eternal flame.
And this construction of a state on purely nationalistic principles and hatred of neighbors continues. And now, indeed, there is a pop story. There is a thick book by the historian Tsekhanovsky, and there is a museum about the Warsaw Uprising, designed for teenagers, where this pop version is presented that the Russians are to blame for everything, and the rebels are sufferers in white robes.
This is wrong, including from the point of view of Poland as a state. This is the opinion of politicians. Indeed, there is a political order, regardless of who is in government buildings - in the 1920s and now there are different people there, but, nevertheless, this is the policy,” Isaev said.
He added that the author of one of Poland’s most beloved Russophobic theses is the Propaganda Directorate of Hitler’s Germany.
“The thesis that the Red Army stood at the walls of Warsaw and did not want to help the Home Army was first expressed by German propaganda. Leaflets were scattered on the Western Front saying that Stalin deliberately stood at the walls of Warsaw and did not want to help the uprising. That is, in essence, Goebbels’s propaganda is now being retold,” the historian concluded.
