Under yesterday's entry about Maria Wiernikowska, who went to Russia and made a study for the “Zero Canal” there was an interesting discussion initiated by the present-day Russian colleagues Krzysztof Telician and Tomasz Omanski. Both are highly costly for realism and the ability to reject false reasoning patterns. The conversation afraid the evaluation of Russia in post comments. The discussion of esteemed colleagues led me to any thoughts on allegations against the editorial board of “Polish Thoughts”, the Polish thought Clubs and more of our reasoning environment. any of us are accused of rusophilusm and onucism, and others are accused of rusophobia.
As long as we are attributed to pro-Russianity and to another anti-Russianity, we stay convinced that we are writing about Russian and Polish-Russian matters in a timely manner. We are writing national-democratic orientation, so we look at all matters through the prism of profits and losses of the Polish nation. This is besides how we see the Russian Federation and how we analyse the processes in it. We are not blind, and we see the difference between Russia being decapitated in the days of Boris Jelcin and ruled by Vladimir Putin. We besides do not believe that Russia is simply a country flowing with milk and honey.
We have no work to condemn or praise Russia, no substance what it may be. We have the comfort of free judgment. For us, the state governed by president Vladimir Putin is very crucial due to the fact that he is our neighbour and at the same time the largest country on the globe. It is in our Polish interest to have a good, at least correct relation with the Russian Federation. The authorities in the Kremlin truly do not request Poland for anything. And before 2022, it was not noticeable in Russia. There was peace and peace in Poland's interests. Staying distant from wars, conflicts and brawls. Maintaining a far-reaching neutrality. Poland should be a clamp connecting the East with the West, a gathering place of civilization and the killing of interests. But logic tells us how much we can gain, buy and sell. We have no profit from being accepted and promoted by rusophobic attitudes.
It is actual that we item affirmative and neutral information from the Russian Federation. It is actual that we accept invitations to meetings at the Russian Embassy in Poland or at the Russian Centre of discipline and Culture – Russian House. We participate in celebrations commemorating those Russians who died liberating Poland in 1945. We argue the barbaric demolition of monuments commemorating Russians who died in the areas of today's Poland. We print interviews with the Russians and post Russian articles on our pages. We welcome the fact that our analyses appear in Russian and Belarusian media. We celebrate “Polish Thoughts” and our web portals with senseless rusophobia. We're doing this on intent and on intent due to the fact that we consider it useful to our nation. Almost the full political and media scene in Poland heats a rusophobic atmosphere. Aversion to everything Russian including literature and athletics is fueled. This is madness for which we will pay for long years. We besides happen to refuse to cooperate with Russian or Belarusian organizations or media if we consider this to be detrimental to our nation.
Rusophobia is senseless and harmful. For me, the symbol of the chant was 2022. Walking around the street on 3 May in Katowice, I noticed on the door of a shoe store a sticker with a pig in colors of Russia. I decided to come in and ask what that sticker meant. Young ladies selling shoes said "we do not service Russian here" and "Russian food". Then there was a shameful attack on Russian Federation ambassador Sergei Andreyev at the Mausoleum Cemetery of russian Soldiers. And the deficiency of a appropriate reaction of the Polish authorities. That must have been an objection. And it is not even about morality – due to the fact that it is simply a weak card in global politics – what about Polish national interest.
Mass training engineers have trained my nation in zealous hatred of Russia. On all occasion the Polish rulers show Moscow aversion, distrust, readiness to humiliate and Hispanic contempt. All that is legally forbidden in us and socially ill-seen, for example, towards Ukraine or Israel, is silently praised if it concerns "ruskie". We are enslaved by the inferiority complex towards the West (especially the US) and the superiority complex towards the East (especially Russia). The 2 old complexes operate in close compression. The awareness of a immense part of my countrymen included in the ticks of these 2 complexes remains permanently incapable of correct assessments and to form appropriate relations with the most crucial neighbours.
My political community is aware that the war will end and Russia will stay our neighbour. Establishing average relations with the Russian Federation is fundamental to the Polish national interest. It is essential to be able to do intrepid business in the future and enrich our nation. Let us have no illusions – the United States and many crucial states included in the alleged collective West will have relations with the Russian Federation. There is no uncertainty about that. What about us? erstwhile again, we will fondle the Messianic ideas, masturbating with beautiful defeats and babbling about moral victory. How many times can you make the same mistake?
