DISINFO: The Polish right wages historical war not only against the Red Army, but against history in general
SUMMARY
The Polish right wages historical war not only against Russia and the Red Army, but against history in general. It is difficult to understand why they fight obvious historical facts. They do not like the fact that Poland was liberated by the Red Army; they try to discharge Poland from the anti-Hitler coalition, create strange constructs of occupation, a second occupation, and the anti-Communist uprising.
RESPONSE
This message is part of the Kremlin’s policy of historical revisionism. See similar examples of Russian historical revisionism concerning Poland including, it is thanks to Russia that Poland exists as a country today, Nazi Germany considered Poland its best ally and the USSR was forced and reluctant to sign the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. According to mainstream Polish historians and the views of the predominant part of Polish society, in 1944-1945 the USSR occupied Poland, establishing the undemocratic and repressive Communist Poland. Poland was kept under the Soviet sphere of influence until 1989.
