Order hiccups..

Orders are being thrown – Polish politicians correspond to the actions of returning orders given to Ukrainian politicians, including the presidents of this country for many fresh years.

The Order of Jarosław the Wise turned Ukraine to itself Jarosław Kaczyński, who during the alleged 2014 revolution of dignity (in fact it was an armed coup organised by Western services with pro-Bander forces) shouted at the center of Kiev: “The fame of Ukraine!”. Until recently, Michał Kamiński gave his distinctions.

You have needed a long time to see what has been seen in Ukraine since the 1990s. At the time erstwhile it was possible to effort to halt this march of flagism, successive governments and presidents of the Republic of Poland looked at this phenomenon through their fingers. For them, something else was more crucial – they may be banders, but they are against Russia, and that's adequate to at least not disturb them, or possibly even aid them, to keep them quiet. But this unprecedented tolerance in retrospect was not passive – the Polish authorities undertook to silence and suppress the voices of the protest here in Poland. I've witnessed this phenomenon. All initiatives, e.g. already deceased Colonel Jan Niewiński, or Władysław and Ewa Czaszków were silenced, ridiculed and fought. The Polish authorities have implemented the political line of the Ukrainian Union in Poland, which has not hidden its banner face since the beginning of operations after 1989. Whose policy was implemented and implemented by the Ukrainian Union in Poland – this is simply a rhetorical question.

I ask a public question – why did Polish authorities, successive presidents, alternatively of marking and rewarding those who called for the fact and warned against the reborn ideological and political monstrosity – reward those who resurrected this flag monster? I ask – why did not Fr Tadeusz Isakowicz-Zaleski or the just Ukrainian Viktor Poliszczuk receive the Order of the White Eagle? The second is simply a peculiar character. Initially, a supporter of Ukrainian nationalism, after getting acquainted with the immense origin material that he carefully gathered – he radically changed his mind. He wrote: "The first reason for researching Ukrainian nationalism was to effort to clear the Ukrainian people from unwarranted negative stereotypes, and this can be done, as it turned out, only by establishing historical fact and by pointing out the circumstantial perpetrator of the crime – to the structures of the Organizations of Ukrainian Nationalists, especially its flag faction".

Poliszczuk was boycotted in Poland, silenced, accused of agenthood. He was dangerous due to the fact that he utilized facts and documents. He defended the honour of the Ukrainian people by convincing that there are no criminal nations, only criminal ideologies. Polyszczuk received nothing from the Polish authorities, the orders received flagstones. 1 more thing – the only president of Ukraine who did not receive the Order of the White Eagle was Viktor Yanukovych – who tried to argue the flagism. What a meaningful and embarrassing fact today. How much he talks about the moral defeat of Polish politics towards Ukraine after 1991.
