DISINFO: Polish authorities are fighting with the Russian Embassy school like fascists
SUMMARY
The protest in front of the Polish Embassy in Moscow takes place against the decision of the Polish authorities to expel children and teachers from the school located at the Russian Embassy in Warsaw. This Polish behaviour should not be tolerated – the Polish authorities are fighting children, behaving like fascists.
RESPONSE
A recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative casting Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States as countries that do not respect the history of WWII and its heroes (often, accusing them of supporting the Nazi ideology). The pro-Kremlin outlets regularly accuse the Polish authorities of Russophobia and inspiration of anti-Russian sentiments in order to reach particular domestic goals.
On 29 April 2023, the Polish Police entered the former building of the secondary school run by the Russian Embassy in Warsaw. The Russian diplomats had no legal reason to use this building in line with an earlier Polish Court ruling. One of the rooms of this school contained Joseph Stalin’s bust – the propaganda of totalitarianism is a violation of Polish laws.
