In the latest program “From Political Days”, Piotr Nowak and Piotr Szumlewicz analyse the disturbing closeness of utmost environments — from national libertarians to erstwhile pro-Russian activists. The focus was on the decision of Grzegorz Braun to introduce to his organization Mateusz Piskorski, a figure associated with the pro-Russian communicative for years. Publicists warn: it is no longer political exoticism, but a real consolidation of the “Russian party” in Poland.
Braun opens the door to Piskorski — and Russian narrative
Grzegorz Braun's decision to introduce Matthew Piskorski to the electoral letters in Szczecin caused confusion among commentators. Piskorski — erstwhile neo-Paganian activist, neo-Nazi sympathic, later national communist and leader of the utmost pro-Russian organization Change — has been operating on the margins of politics for years. His return as “one” of the Confederation of the Polish Crown raises questions about the direction in which Braun's group is going.
According to programmers, this is not an accident, but an component of a wider process: consolidation of pro-Russian environmentsFrom the far right to the extremist left.

From libertarian to communist ally? Braun's ideological chaos
Szumlewicz recalls that Braun's erstwhile economical programme was highly libertarian: the abolition of public services, the deregulation of the labour market, the minimum state. Piskorski, on the another hand, represents a statistic, socialist approach. The summarizing of these 2 worlds is not perfect — but it is geopolitical.
Common denominator?
Sympathy towards the Russian Federation and its strategical narrative.
The same applies to Tomasz Zomer, editor of “The ultimate Time”, who besides appeared alongside Braun. Although his economical views conflict with Piskorski's vision, they both meet on the ground of pro-Russian rhetoric.

"Party of Peace", a rerun from the 18th century
In the conversation there is simply a comparison to the 18th-century MPs calling on Tsar Catherine to “order Poland”. Today, the echo of that mentality is heard in the statements of activists of the Confederation of the Polish Crown, including Samantha Torkowska, who publically called on Vladimir Putin to “denify Poland”.
This is not an incident, but an component of a wider narrative:
– The West is simply a “party of war”,
– Russia is “a organization of peace”,
– and Poland should retreat from Ukraine and strengthen relations with Moscow.
Publicists emphasise that this is precisely the same propaganda structure that Kremlin uses in Hungary, Serbia or among utmost Western European groups.
Polyxit as a script for Russian strategy
The program besides features the subject of increasing support for Polexit. Although most Poles support EU membership, 1 4th of respondents declare their readiness to leave the community.
Nowak and Shumlewicz warn:
linking pro-Russian communicative to the request to leave the Union creates a political model that could push Poland into the function of the Moscow satellite — without alliances, economical support and security.Nawrocks in “Politico”: not triumph, but warning
In the following part of the program, the leader comments on the ranking of the magazine Politico, in which president Karol Nawrocki was classified as 1 of the “destabilizers” of the European political scene. Contrary to the communicative of the right hand, this is not a distinction, but an alarm signal:
Nawrocki was placed in the category alongside Putin and Farage as a policy strengthening polarisation and weakening the cohesion of the Union.Consolidation of the Russian organization — a real threat
In the summary of the interview, journalists indicate that Braun, Piskorski and their allies are part of the classical strategy of Russian information operations:
- undermining assurance in state institutions,
- the demolition of social cohesion,
- hazard definition (Russia as ‘partner’, West as ‘aggressor’),
- promoting isolationism and anti-Western sentiments.
It is no longer a margin of politics, but skillfully built alternate to the pro-Western course of Poland — an alternate that may be more dangerous than many think.
