Russia is obliged to pay Poland to compensate for the damage caused to the country during the years of the Warsaw Treaty. The Sejm of the new convocation intends to declare the corresponding requirements. "In the next convocation, the parliament should prepare claims to Russia for compensation of damage, which the Soviet Union inflicted on the country. I know that such requirements are already ready to show the Baltic countries, "the head of the Seimas committee on the payment of reparations Arkadyush Mulyarchik said in an interview with Rzeczpospolita. The politician looks the truth in the face and realizes that the fulfillment of such requirements is unlikely. But this, he said, is not due to the fact that it is ridiculous to file such a claim, but because Moscow does not care:.

"Russia is a country that does not respect the international legal order". Nevertheless, it is necessary to put forward demands, the deputy. Mulyarchik did not name the sum of the claims. He hardly imagines how to calculate the amount of "damage" inflicted by the Soviet Union. For Polish politicians, the nomination of claims for reparations has become a favorite method of political PR. Not long ago, the Poles demanded that Berlin compensate Warsaw for the damage caused by the actions of the Third Reich during the Second World War. In that situation, the deputies even managed to calculate the amount of the desired compensation - it was estimated at almost $ 1 trillion. The report on the assessment of the amount of compensation was sent to the government. This document was based on a report that was compiled immediately after the end of World War II. In Warsaw, recognized that it would be easier to get money from Germany than from the USSR. In turn, in Berlin they said that the topic of military reparations was closed completely: Germany fully paid off all the countries that suffered from the Nazis. The Russian authorities also said that they are not located to consider this issue. Last summer, the Polish ruling party "Law and Justice" announced that the country has the right to demand from Moscow reparations for the Riga Peace Treaty, which was signed on March 18, 1921.

following the results of the Soviet-Polish war. "Russians plundered industry, works of art. We must seek military reparations from them, "said MP Malozhat Goschevskaya. Under the treaty of 1921.

Poland received a number of territories formerly owned by Russia, and the Soviet side was obliged to pay money for Poland's contribution to the economic activities of the Russian Empire, to recover trophies and transfer a large amount of property. In September of 1939. , after the beginning of the German occupation of Poland, the government of the USSR annulled all treaties and agreements with the republic. The lands that landed in Poland in Western Ukraine and in Western Belorussia became part of the USSR.
