In 2013 – the year of the large success of the march in Warsaw commemorating the 70th anniversary of the symbolic beginning of genocide and even more success on an global scale in the form of the arrival of the MP to the Ukrainian ultimate Council of Wadim Kolesniczenko (pictured during March 11 July 2013).
He brought with him the appeal of 148 Ukrainian parliamentarians to recognise the UPA crime in Poland as genocide – at the same time the end of the border movement began. The march became a symbol of triumph and the beginning of defeat. First, the PiS, headed by Antoni Macerewicz claiming to be liable for the crimes of the CNS/UPA by Russia and others who are unknown from their activities in the field of the fight for truth, they have taken the lead in the march. Then a fanatical supporter of anti-Russian Ukraine, and thus by force of this thing referring to the tradition of the bander, under the red-black banner with the shouts “The fame of Ukraine, hierojam fame!” Tomasz Sakiewicz – conducted a performance of memory of UPA victims. A year later, he received a medal from the safety Service of Ukraine for his commitment to the fight for the freedom of the Ukrainian people: "Sakiewicz received the medal in Krakow, where on 11 November the celebrations of the independency Day were celebrated. The award was given by Andrij Grabow, Deputy Chief of Self-defence Majdanu". ‘Gaz. Pol.’ 12.11.2014
2015 came
– at the beginning of which he left Colonel Jan Niewiński – the year that brought the current power of the Law and Justice. A power that had for 8 years countless possibilities of forcing concessions on the Ukrainian side, but did nothing virtually to bring any effect. Instead, we have the treatment of us from above by Ukraine, whose government of the Law and Justice has lifted the sky out of the money of Poles, we have contempt. From the side of the Law and Justice, empty words, empty gestures that mean nothing. We have Andrija Melnyka, erstwhile Ukrainian Ambassador to Germany, who defended and praised Stepan Bandera after which he became Deputy Minister of abroad Affairs of Ukraine. The Law and Justice are talking about it, and what? Nothing – Melnyk is inactive Deputy Minister. Head of Ukrainian IPN Anton Dobrywiec He went to blackmail by demanding to suspend in Poland the plaque commemorating UPA criminals, as a condition for the exhumation of victims of these criminals in Ukraine. Mr. Melnyk and Mr. Dobrowicz are fine. Our position is lost to Łukasz Jasin, a spokesperson for the Ministry of abroad Affairs due to the fact that he said besides much about a conviction that may have offended “our Ukrainian friends”. Despite his earlier overzealous submission to Ukraine's interests, erstwhile he proclaimed Poland a servant of the Ukrainian people.
This is due to the fact that the Law and Justice is surviving in political schizophrenia. They want to accomplish mutually exclusive objectives, which is apparent to everyone but themselves. This schizophrenia is part of the sick Polish tradition of “Ukrainian faith” and illness on Moscow. 1 is closely related to the other. The PiS has 2 ways – it can stand in the fact and end the policy of babysitting neo-banderists from Kiev or agree to worship the bander tradition by those who happen under the American umbrella, due to the fact that otherwise any state referring to quasi-hitlerian ideology, as well as the tradition of interacting with Nazi Germany (SS Galizien, Nachtigall, Roland, Ukrainian National Army in 1945), would be crushed by the same Americans.
Schizophrenia PiS takes place in the past of Polish promethean-messianist movements to which the PiS refers. Sanation, on the 1 hand, tried to deal with the USSR, on the another hand, supported the Promethean communities in Poland seeking to break up the USSR. In Volyn, she supported Henryk Józewski's experiment, which was in fact a progressive Ukrainianization of the region, and at the same time alternatively of punishing the actual perpetrators for terrorist attacks of Ukrainian activists, she aroused hatred of Poland by all Russians/Ukrainians blindly hitting them with pacifications. Paranoia cannot be a political program of a serious state. The Law and Justice has cornered themselves. From the beginning, he tied his hands with meaningless authoritative declarations of the inalternative policy of supporting anti-Russian Ukraine. On the contrary, Ukraine did not make specified declarations.
Consent to neo-Bander Ukraine is simply a deadly threat and disaster for Poland. For Americans, it's just a political game with Russia. The concession to rise in the cult of criminals is simply a licence for the moral degeneration of a young Ukrainian nation. approval for organic pathology. The American people don't care how they keep the Korean nation divided for 70 years. For us it is besides a realization that the Council of Ukraine of chauvinistic dreams contains a large part of the lands of the present Polish state.
Poland is to prosecute Polish objectives. The fact that you are a associate of NATO does not mean that you must meet the hegemony of the US. This is best shown by the example of Hungary. However, in order to conduct a policy akin to what Viktor Orban does, you request to have a appropriate knowing of your own interests and a sense of proportion. Poland's interests are not in line with the interests of any Ukraine, and the interests of neo-Bander Ukraine are completely distributed. The emotional gestures of giving themselves up to Ukraine in all degree do not inspire admiration, but encourage a claim attitude. Poland takes all the arguments, due to the fact that it is inactive around the hot heads of its rulers about the position of pawns, circulating the dream of defeating Russia and breaking it into a number of puppet states.
Do they truly not realize that 1 day for specified an aggressively hateful attitude towards a Russian neighbour who will not vanish in the San Andreas responsibility – and which is noted by this neighbour will come to pay us all? Poland's Law and Justice has frequently given evidence that it is incapable to think either with categories of serious national policy or to identify long-term threats from its own actions. The PiS drives the imperative of expressing hatred towards on-call enemies – Russia, or closer to undetermined communists as well as the past. Does any state of the erstwhile east bloc announce by the mouth of its highest representatives that it did not be that it was only the russian business or colony? Does anyone exposure to the planet and destruct peculiar services to spite the mythical communists? Is individual revealing diplomatic ciphers to "provide" the operativeity of the opposition? It is hard to anticipate that these people will realize the Ukrainian issue if they do not realize the fundamental issues of the state's reasons.
So what should be the hypothetical policy of Poland based on the foundation of national interest, short- and long-term interest?
First,
– the neutral version of east policy must be abandoned immediately. From a deep commitment to war to minimal commitment. In order to say figuratively, this should be, due to the location of Poland, the engagement of smaller/equal engagement of Portugal. Hungary, of course, is simply a model here. This is not our war. Intensification of Poland's commitment can lead to war becoming ours. alternatively of escalation, Poland should aim, as far as possible, to establish peace. To abandon the policy of supporting the creation, at the expense of Ukrainians, the footholds of American hegemonic policy. Of course, it is hard even to comment on any ideas of creating a common state with any Ukraine, and with the neo-Bander Ukraine in particular. specified ideas can only be born in crazy minds. These are all not stories from moss and ferns. You can do politics differently. This is what Hungary does by its own alternatively than Ukrainian or American national interests. The Polish political class – and power and opposition – are not very different from each other, but it is incapable to make a volt in the Hungarian direction. Anyway, as it seems, waiting for specified a volt can be considered naive and even impudence. present our hope for peace must so be placed outside Warsaw.
Second
– long-term – Poland should build a coalition that will force Ukraine to abandon the Bandera cult with all its consequences. Contrary to the allegations that this means dictating from the outside what the historical communicative of Ukraine is expected to look like, and we do not want that, as far as we are concerned, etc., so seems only at first glance. In fact, however, we come out of the universal presumption that the global community rejected Nazi ideology and its related ones, due to the fact that this community does not let the Germans to renaissance the NSDAP and Hitler's memorials, we have the right on this universal basis to request that Ukraine abandon ideology, which in its hatred and desire to exterminate “foreign” modeled and was very akin to the Nazi one.
Moreover, it is not only an ideology that exists theoretically, but an ideology par exellenceWho has a very circumstantial crime of genocide on his conscience. Therefore, it is in the interest of Poland to fall any Ukrainian power that wants to build the identity and future of Ukraine on the ideology of chauvinism. As Wadim Kolesniczenko said in 2013: “The defeat of the crimes of the CNS and the UPA, in our deepest conviction, not only their [Polish-Ukrainian relations] will not make it worse, but will improve. We believe that this crime does not concern the Ukrainian state and the Ukrainian people, but a circumstantial criminal organization, which was the CNS-UPA. This was our appeal, we wanted to give a clear signal to the Polish public, but besides to Polish politicians, that Ukraine had nothing to do with the crime of genocide in Volyn". At this point, it should be added that Ukraine building on the foundation of Stepan Bandery not only takes work for the crimes of the CNS/UPA, but alternatively sheds the burden of these crimes on the state and the Ukrainian people. You can't have a cookie and eat a cookie. Tertium non datur.

The remainder of Ukrainian historical communicative is fundamentally indifferent to us, due to the fact that we know that where different visions clash, it is impossible to agree. For historical confabulations of ancient Ukraine, legends of the Russian people of Jafet seed, on the Chmielnicki or even Szeptycki assessments, we do not gotta pay attention, keeping our own opinion naturally. The phenomenon of cyclical behaviour of any Polish historians receiving enthusiastic Ukrainian confabulations for revealed fact is much more dangerous in this case. But long ago in the anti-Ukrainian book "National Consciousness of the Ukrainian Nobility and the Goat from the end of the 16th to mid-17th century" (Warsaw 1985), author, Teresa Chynczewska-Hennel She wrote: “There is besides a deficiency of its own Ukrainian statehood that is not without influence [on the past of Ukraine]. Thus, past frequently became an argument in the hands of politicians influencing the works of historians indirectly. And where there is no origin evidence, the myth, legend, conjecture and explanation take precedence.”
Third
– Poland, besides hypothetically refusing to support neo-Bander Ukraine, inactive has obligations towards Poles surviving there and to the Polish cultural heritage there. This requires simple cooperation with each Ukraine in the name of protecting higher values based on bilateral and global law.
With all this in mind, let us remember that the war, which is inactive going on for good luck outside Poland, does not take place according to a simple zero-one strategy – the aggressor-attacked. Territorially Ukraine is an artificial creation created by the USSR, besides by the way of conquests of territories previously owned by another countries. As for the spiritual side of the identity, we are dealing with at least 3 traditions that have not yet found an accident from the real event – with the Polish creation in the form of Greek Catholicism, taken over in the times of Andrzej Szeptycki by the chauvinist stream, as a vehicle of a fresh nation based on hatred and negation; – with the tradition of Orthodox Russia/Russia as a historical continuum; – and with the russian creation in the form of Ukrainian SRR, first extended by east areas on which war is presently taking place, then the lands taken from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and yet talented in the form of Crimea in 1954.
All this without looking at centuries-old traditions of local settlement, present inactive alive the most in the east. What is happening there present is the war against delayed ignition, akin to the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, for which the artificial boundaries, the sense of injustice and the fear of chauvinism were besides the ground. Then the West found all of Serbia, his faithful ally from 2 planet wars, guilty. The enemy present is Russia, and the ally of the West is neo-Bander Ukraine. Poland seems to have a choice. And he makes a choice against the Polish national interest based on obsessions and ideas created and dictated by the slavery of the partitions, although he could choose otherwise. Like Hungary. But in order to make a “Hungarian” choice, you gotta want it first.
