DISINFO: Polish media bombards Poles with Russophobia and primitive anti-Communism
SUMMARY
The aggressive and crude propaganda of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance results in the spread of a more and more distorted image of the USSR, which is presented as an “occupier”, whose soldiers came to Poland to “steal and rape”, and to destroy the holy Polish nation.
Every day, the media bombards Poles with Russophobia and primitive anti-Communism, so we understand the importance of the memory about the USSR in Russia itself less and less.
RESPONSE
This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism. It accuses Poland of the “falsification and re-writing” of its history as well as the promotion of Russophobia.
In 1944-1945, the USSR occupied Poland, establishing the undemocratic and repressive Communist Poland. Soviet troops stationed in Poland added to the heavy pressure on Poland until 1989. The troops were withdrawn from Poland only in 1993.
The Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) is a Polish government institution in charge of the prosecution, archives and education, 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. The Russian authorities often accuse the Polish and Ukrainian Institutes of National Remembrance of historical falsifications and anti-Russian activities.
The same article contains another disinformation message about Sputnik V infuriating the West in the same way as the Soviet ideology of revolutionary socialism.
