‘The spirit of Marshal Piłsudski? We talk to each another many times, actually all day. The Polish-bolshevik War of 1920 and the current global situation after the Russian Federation attack, we are talking about the parliament," said Karol Nawrocki in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski.
However, erstwhile these words were picked up by Maria Zacharova, the spokesperson for Kremlin, the president of the patriarchal commission of the Russian Orthodox Church for family, protection of motherhood and children, Fr Fiodor Łukianov, who felt that we had a "demonic footprint", and yet Vladimir Putin himself – the surroundings of the president felt that the substance should be explained. Rafał Leśkiewicz, spokesperson for Karol Nawrocki, said: “The president took a gag in his conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski, but this was utilized by Russian propaganda. This shows how this Russian propaganda and Russian authorities are observing the actions of president Karol Nawrocki, who speaks very powerfully about the actions of the Russian Federation, is himself prosecuted by the Russian Federation authorities for the liquidation of russian propaganda facilities." Of course, as always hard, patriotic, anti-Russian and very militant.
The case seems at first glance trivial, but not quite. But if we consider that Karol Nawrocki truly is talking to the spirit of Józef Piłsudski, then we would gotta ask a question – with which Józef Piłsudski debates? No, it's not a joke, it's a serious question that prof. Lech Mażewski late asked in the weekly "To Things". This distinguished historian and publicist reminded the deliberately falsified and reluctantly raised by the declared walsudczyk fact that after a period of dreams and mad plans to break Russia and push it to Asia (1919-1920), Piłsudski felt that he had made a mistake and had definitely given up on these plans. Already in 1921, he stated that Poles did not want independent Ukraine or the implementation of its national plans, and this must be accepted.
In the same year, he became a victim, fortunately for him, a failed assassination by the Ukrainian who shot at the politician of State in Lviv. The Ukrainian Military Organization, predecessor of the CNS, was behind the assassination attempt. Piłsudski was definitely cured of Ukrainian illusions. In 1930, he ordered a large pacification of Ukrainian villages as a consequence to CNS terror, and in 1932 he led to the signing of a non-aggression pact with the USSR. About the same time he said: “The West is now lousy. If he doesn't look and get hard soon, he'll gotta decision on.It’s okay. ” What did that mean? possibly even think of an alliance with Stalin against the Germans. After all, Piłsudski remembered that he had already made a deal with the Bolsheviks erstwhile in 1919. So, Mr. President, if you're already talking to the Marshal, it's from the 1930s erstwhile he became a political realist.
