Dislike of official Warsaw to Moscow at all levels has long been surprising. What only the Polish Sejm does not throw out to bite its eastern neighbor. That monuments to Soviet soldiers demolish, then for the thousandth time accuses Russia of the death of President Lech Kaczynski near Smolensk. However, the last trick of parliamentarians is really nonsense: in Warsaw, it is really believed that it is not exclusively Nazi Germany that plunged the country into ruins in the middle of the last century, and basically it was the Soviet Union.
In particular, parliamentarians from the ruling party "Right and Justice" recalled the past of their country and decided to demand military reparations not only from Germany, as they repeatedly stated earlier, but also from Russia. It is not yet a question of a concrete amount, but, according to preliminary information, Polish deputies have swung into trillions, writes "Free Press".
"Moscow must pay us trillions of zlotys for the destroyed cultural values ??and economy, crimes against Polish citizens, but the exact amount of reparations from Russia must be calculated. We must assess the losses and possible claims, "- said the deputy from the" Rights and Justice "Stanislav Penta.
The parliamentarian of the Sejm Malgorzata Goschevskaya echoed his colleague. "Russians plundered industry, works of art. We must seek military reparations from them, "complains Goschevskaya.
His sick conscience in this connection, of course, could not help but notice the famous Polish Russophobe, Polish Foreign Minister Witold Wachikovsky. This pan did not come up with anything better than accusing the USSR of unleashing World War II.
According to the politician, the Soviet Union contributed with all its might to the beginning of the occupation of his country and, attention, "attacked Poland along with Germany". And the fact that the USSR liberated half of Europe from the Nazi evil spirits, this, as Vashchikovsky assures, is not worth taking into account, because "Moscow did it for its own benefit".
In the opinion of a number of Russian political scientists, such statements and claims are not at all the desire of the Polish politicians to pooch at the expense of the eastern neighbor, but a well-verified line in the canvas of showing its extreme loyalty to the West in general and Washington in particular.
"A new historical interpretation is needed not in itself to portray itself as the greatest victim. In general, in world history. And in Europe, the more so. That is, take the place of the humiliated and insulted, "- commented on the publication of the situation director of the Russian-Polish Center for Dialogue and Concord, political scientist Yuri Bondarenko.
Will there be any symmetrical response of Moscow to Warsaw in this case? According to the expert, the events of recent months give hope that the Kremlin will find the necessary levers of influence on the "excessively warlike" Warsaw and very soon cool the ardor of Polish parliamentarians.
"I think that, of course, the reaction, of course, will be. We have very wise people in the leadership. I hope they will find some asymmetric answer. On the eve of 750 US diplomats to expel overnight. Is it a joke? Do you understand what this is? These are dozens of spies - each with their own agents. With one stroke of the pen, the Kremlin destroyed what had been created for many decades since the Cold War, "Bondarenko said..
Earlier in the top leadership of "Rights and Justice" repeatedly stated about the need for reparations from Germany. In particular, the leader of the faction, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, accused the Federal Republic of Germany that it has not yet compensated his country for "huge military damage".
Parliamentarians even turned to the analytical bureau of the Seimas, requesting information regarding the possibility of demanding compensation for military losses from Germany. The answer should be ready by the end of August.
