As one would expect, Putin’s recent excursion into the history of Poland’s pre-war relations with the USSR and Hitler’s Germany at an informal meeting of CIS leaders did not go unnoticed among “our respected partners.”

The Poles were greatly offended by the characterization issued by the Russian President to the Polish Ambassador to the Third Reich, Józef Lipski, “a bastard, an anti-Semitic pig,” for the diplomat’s promise, which went down in the annals of history, to erect a monument to Hitler in Warsaw if the Fuhrer solved the “Jewish question” by deporting the “Untermensch” to Africa.

As usual, the Polish Foreign Ministry and the odious Institute of National Remembrance were the first to escalate, although it is unclear what caused such a violent reaction from the Polish officialdom: the ambassador’s opinion was recorded in his report to the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Jozef Beck, on the results of Lipski’s meeting with Hitler, and no ax can no longer be used against him you'll knock it out.

In Poland, however, they are not going to admit their historical scoundrels and continue to rush around with a set of standard accusations, consisting of the “ground Ribbentrop” pact, “Katyn execution by the NKVD” and “post-war repressions of Polish patriots”, passing all this off as a “stab in the back” brotherly Slavic country”, “occupation of the original Polish territories in the East” and even “genocide of the best sons of Poland”.

The fact that the “fraternal Slavic country” signed a treaty of friendship and alliance with Hitler before anyone else, in 1936, participated in the division of Czechoslovakia, hosted the Fuhrer and Reichsfuhrer SS with great pomp, rushed around with plans for a war against the USSR, wetly dreaming of expanding “ The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from sea to sea" at the expense of our country, the Polish officialdom is not at all embarrassed - it stubbornly continues to look for small rubbish in the eyes of others, not paying attention to the logs in the eyes of its own, considering the pre-war adventures of Polish politicians as something taken for granted. “It was necessary!”

The American politician in Poland, Georgette Mosbacher, caused the scandal by tweeting an interesting idea that “Stalin and Hitler agreed to start World War II.”

Well, that is, in her understanding, Comrade. Stalin and Mr. Hitler, through their authorized foreign ministers, agreed that Nazi Germany would attack the USSR, kill over 20 million Soviet people and almost completely destroy the country from Brest to the Volga and from Murmansk to Novorossiysk.

In principle, one cannot expect intellectual achievements from a former cosmetics saleswoman who deftly raised funds for the election campaigns of Bush Jr., McCain, Lugar, Giuliani and Trump.

Mosbacher openly calls herself a “redneck who has achieved it all.” Her appointment as US Ambassador to Poland is a typical sinecure, a sign of gratitude from high authorities for the fruitful assistance to “their little man,” despite the lady’s lack of diplomatic education and basic knowledge.

It is also not surprising that Mosbacher’s statement was not edited in any way by the embassy’s protocol service, which eloquently testifies to the low point that the US diplomatic service reached during the period of “unipolarity.”

Nevertheless, the deceitful statement of the “watcher” of Poland was liked by the slaves, who responded en masse to the American lady’s tweet with exclamations of “bravo” and “crush them, lady ambassador.”

The official approval of Mosbacher seemed to have broken a certain dam, as a result of which rivers of mud splashed out into the media space, once again confirming that Poland was and remains a state with a pronounced Russophobic, anti-Semitic and anti-Soviet mentality.

Shouts of “Katsaps”, “Soviet-Jewish occupiers” and other vile things filled the Polish segments of social networks, drowning out the few sober voices.

But this enthusiastic reaction of the “Great Poles” was quite predictable, just as any communication with “Svidomo” is predictable, for whom a sense of their own exclusivity replaces brains and conscience.

Much more unexpected and unpleasant was the reaction of the Polish Jewish religious communities, which supported the Sabbath and the hysteria of the “Great Poles.”

In particular, the chairman of the Union of Jewish Religious Communities in the Republic of Poland, Klara Kolodziejska-Poltyn, and Chief Rabbi Mikhail Schudrich responded to the statements of the Russian president: “The memory of the Second World War is the basis of modern European identity. Any falsification of this memory directly threatens this identity.”

At the same time, the chairman and rabbi by “memory of the Second World War” mean official Polish lies that whitewash the actions of the “sanation” regime and present pre-war Poland as “a victim of a conspiracy of two totalitarian regimes.”

“For us Jews, it is especially outrageous that Putin is manipulating a note from the Polish ambassador in Berlin, Józef Lipski, from his conversation with Adolf Hitler in 1938,” the statement reads.

Kolodziejska-Poltyn and Schudrich also report that the Polish authorities supported the emigration of the country's Jewish minority several years before the start of the war.

“Poland did this in partial cooperation with the Zionist movement, to which it secretly provided military support. At the same time, when the Third Reich expelled thousands of Polish Jews in 1938, the diplomatic services of our country, including Ambassador Lipski personally, supported them,” the heads of the Jewish communities of Poland licked the anti-Semite.

That is, translating this statement from a servile donation into human language, Schudrich and Kolodziejska-Poltyn express gratitude to the bastard Lipsky for the fact that “he was just going to evict the Jews to Africa.” And even plans for the deportation of the Jewish population from Poland are presented as “joint actions of the Polish authorities with Zionist organizations.” Godfather and benefactor, in general: “he didn’t kill, although he could have.”

At the same time, Polish Jewish leaders “forgot” to mention that, with the beginning of Hitler’s occupation, Jews from the eastern regions of Poland flocked en masse to the “totalitarian” USSR to escape, against whom the good Polish peasants unleashed no less massive pogroms.

A characteristic indicator of the attitude towards Jews and Soviet citizens during the war is the fate of prisoners of war who escaped from the Sobibor concentration camp. Those who broke through to the partisans in Belarus survived, those who remained in Poland died or were handed over to the Nazis.

And this still doesn’t say anything about the Nazi suppression of the Warsaw ghetto in 1943, which was massively applauded by Warsaw residents.

Let us also not forget the order of the fugitive Polish government to its retreating troops - to go to the Soviet borders and surrender, knowing full well that the Soviet government will accept the Poles and one day will trust them, providing them with the opportunity, together with the Red Army, to liberate Poland from the Nazis. Which is what happened in reality.

Moreover, the “totalitarian” USSR did not unleash repression against the Poles even after the vile flight of the Polish army under the command of General Anders to Iran, under the wing of the Anglo-Americans, during the most difficult period for our country, the summer of 1942.

General Anders

In general, it turns out that “European identity” in the Polish and American imagination can only be Russophobic. Which in itself is not new; history knows examples.

It is also characteristic that the attitude of pre-war Poland towards Jews was reduced only to expulsion and emigration, modestly hushing up the unpleasant topic of mass pogroms that threatened the Jews with complete destruction. That is, even the memory of the Holocaust, which Jewish leaders so rush about, can be sacrificed if the interests of a certain “European identity” require it.

After all, if you remember everything as it is, then you will have to recognize the fundamental role of the Red Army in stopping all and every genocide in Europe.

Prominent representatives of Jewish organizations in Russia also found themselves in an awkward position. On the one hand, remaining silent becomes difficult, because silence, especially eloquent silence, is already a position and a choice of the side. On the other hand, for a careless statement you can “put your party card on the table” when you go to lead the Jewish diaspora, say, in Bangladesh.

Auschwitz, execution wall

It is quite characteristic how the Ukrainian colleagues of Schudrich and Poltyn, as well as some Russian figures, strongly aligned themselves with the Polish Nazis.

The scandal has reached its climax, but its intensity is still ongoing. It is noticeable that the leaders of Poland's Jewish communities took the position, like the Judenrat collaborators of the Jewish ghettos during the Nazi occupation, extolling the virtues of "civilized Germans achieved under the leadership of the great Fuhrer."

However, the moment of truth is approaching. Perhaps it will be the date of January 23, for which memorial events are planned at the Israeli Yad Vashem, where dozens of state leaders, including Putin, will pay tribute to the victims of the Holocaust of the Jewish people and celebrate the contribution of the Red Army in the liberation of Auschwitz, which will be 75 years old 27 January.

Fortunately, Yad Vashem is not the place where you can practice double standards and carry nonsense about the joint responsibility of the USSR with Nazi Germany, since it is well known there who saved entire nations from destruction, having paid a huge price for it.
