DISINFO: Poland is drifting from Russophobia to the justification of Nazism

SUMMARY

The Polish intellectual circles are gradually drifting from Russophobia and falsification of history to the partial justification of Fascism. The anti-Russian aspirations of the Polish authorities have virtually no borders. The example of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance shows a process of gradual evolution from Russophobia and historical falsifications to the partial justification of Fascism. This situation shows the danger coming from the rewriting of history in order to achieve current political goals. For a long time, Warsaw and its pseudoscientific forgers, who cannot be called historians, have been showing that they do not know such notions as historical memory and respect for history. Russia cannot ignore the Polish attempts to revise history from the position “close to ideological partners of the Nazis”.

RESPONSE

This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism. It accuses Poland of the “falsification and rewriting” of its history and, sometimes, Poland is presented as a supporter of Nazi ideology.

The Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) is a Polish government institution in charge of the prosecution, archives, education and lustration, in relation to crimes against the Polish nation. The IPN investigates Nazi and Communist crimes committed between 1917 and 1990, documents its findings and disseminates them to the public.
