Several millions of Ukrainians who have been in our country for respective years have been admitted to Poland thanks to the subsequent regulation of the POPIS and their appetizers. In addition, we gave them a immense amount of our own resources that is straight proportional to Polish phobias, complexes, phantom historical frosts and geopolitical ignorance.
Hundreds of thousands, if not millions of them can gain Polish citizenship. This will be cemented by a united war or exile trauma, a dynamic number of young people in an ageing and sick Polish society. In this way, further governments lost what we gained in the national area in 1945. As for the Ukrainian national minority, there was something that seemed impossible to fulfill with a nightmare – a return to the state before planet War II, erstwhile it accounted for about 15% of the population of the Second Republic of Poland.
At the beginning of independence, Ukrainians tried to take distant Lviv and Przemyśl Poles, committed cruel murders on Polish people. Then their attitude towards then Poland was based on the belief that they were under Polish occupation. They boycotted elections, utilized large-scale terrorism, collaborated with German intelligence, in September 1939 they murdered retreating Polish soldiers, to crown the centuries-old common past of genocide of hundreds of thousands of their Polish neighbours, and specified mass and inhumane cruel murders had a long tradition on the Ukrainian side. present in Ukraine, like mushrooms after the rain, monuments and another forms of glorification of these criminals grow, they become pop icons of culture, and disgraced Polish victims cannot wait to be buried.
It is not the first time in past erstwhile Poles brought strangers to themselves, who then waited only for an chance to harm us, turn their position from guests into hosts or separate a part of our homeland as their own. In the case of Ukrainians, this is all the more annoying, as erstwhile the connection with them through the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Lublin Union proved to be 1 of the most crucial causes of the collapse of our state in the 17th and 18th centuries. The mechanisms despite the passage of centuries were amazingly akin – terror, revolts and civilian war, provoking and involving Poland in non-war wars, and economical and consequently political oligarchization. In front of our eyes, another fatal chapter is written for “Todays of Stupidity in Poland”. Repeatability of this situation indicates that its causes are not only errors in current thinking, but flaws profoundly rooted in psyche, in models of upbringing, in historical unconsciousness, in the kind of morality, in the kind of patriotism, in perception of relations with neighbours. Their analysis is simply a subject that awaits multifaceted examination.
After 1989, forces representing the Ukrainian interest and Ukrainian awareness emerged and activated during the period of the Polish People's Republic. Most frequently these are more or little admitting descendants of displaced Vistula shares. The historical – political awareness, attitude towards Polishness and Polish interests of the Ukrainian number in Poland are evident by the statements of its leaders. Natalia Panchenko (pictured) representing a comparatively fresh wave of Ukrainian visitors in Poland is best known for her statements, in which she threatened Poles with arsons and assassinations, unless our attitude towards Ukrainians is what she thinks it should be. Explaining this statement, she claimed that she meant not Ukrainian terrorism, but the actions of Poles who, according to her stories after 2015, set fire to and cast stones on Ukrainian shops. Fear to think what Panchenko says about Poles during their stay at abroad scholarships. possibly the planet will learn from it akin revelations to those which spread about Poles "searchers" like Jan Tomasz Gross or Jan Grabowski. besides interesting is her declared and selective ignorance of history. erstwhile asked if Bandera was a criminal, she replied that she did not know due to the fact that “he is not a historian” but “she knew” that he was in a German concentration camp (not as a average prisoner – O.S.) during the massacres in Volyn. Panchenko besides does not know if the Ukrainians have committed genocide on Poles due to the fact that “he is not an expert”, and nobody in Ukraine knows about Bander and Volyn due to the fact that they did not teach it in russian schools. The question is, why are they inactive not teaching and seeing marches commemorating those criminals? She could besides learn something about this in Poland, where she has been surviving since 2009 and has been a Polish citizen for a good fewer years.
Case of Mirosław Skin
Even more interesting statements came during an interview conducted by Panchenko with the president of the Ukrainian Union in Poland. Mirosław Skin, which appeared on the Ukrainian Q channel on October 30th. According to the leader of the Ukrainian number in Poland, the Volyn massacre was blamed by Poles who wanted to assimilate Ukrainians in independent Poland. Especially sinister was the influence of Roman Dmowski in Skórka's opinion, due to the fact that he imposed on Poles the incorrect model of patriotism based on nationalistic and cultural criteria. In the same interview, he stated that the Polish patriot was a “kibol and confederate” and Panchenko added eagerly: “usually drunk” and then agreed that “it shouts something against Ukrainians and Jews, Poland for Poles and is not a patriot, but an idiot who runs with flags and crosses.” It got in too. Władysław Gomulka, which combined socialism with nationalism and president Nawrock, which repeats Dmowski's criminal narrative. The Volyn massacre is, according to Skórka, "not history, but ideology". At the end of Skórka praised the strength of the Ukrainian global lobby, which, unlike Poles, has its facility at Harvard, and in Canada, the same position as descendants of the British and French.
The Ukrainian number in Poland besides has the support of the European Union, and parts of the current Poland specified as Podlasie, Sanok, Chełm and Przemyśl are “an integral part of Ukrainian identity and history, and Przemyśl even more than Lviv.” It is at least curious that in a situation where a message Alice Weidel about the GDR as “German middle” in Poland provokes outrage, at the same time specified statements of leaders already in the Polish territory of minorities and fresh arrivals do not rise any concern and pass without an echo in Poland. Even more so, as the influences of the overt Ukrainian number have been so far due to the limited marginality, in the present situation its view will dominate the reasoning of a new, this time multimillion-dollar wave. This is the intent of president Skórka, who stated in his interview summary that the most crucial for him is that Ukrainians in Poland do not become Poles, announced the focus of activity on the young generation and encouraged force on Polish schools to officially host Ukrainian language.
So reasoning Ukrainian number is an excellent electoral base and dirt for political bias, which can be called proukrain or Ukrainian. In addition to politicians with Ukrainian roots, he was joined by politicians associated with Ukrainian oligarchs who had economical interests in Ukraine, connected with Ukrainians, inactive the issue of the Podkarpackie scandal is not explained, and everything is carried out in the ocean of political and historical ignorance and irrational and hysterical Polish rusophobia, which find the actions of the Polish political and media class. The dominance of the Ukrainian organization is manifested not only in the increasing presence of openly proukrainian or even Ukrainian politicians in the most crucial bodies of the state and institutions, but above all in the complete dominance of communicative having to explain and explain to the masses of Poles, and in fact impose and persuade the expected sense of the current political situation. There are respective key points that have been proclaimed by the representatives of this organization – and in the practice of public and frequently shocking lies, which even easier than biographies or interests let to identify members of the Ukrainian organization in the IIIrd Poland.
Six Ukrainian Lies
1/ Lie First It is instilling in the Polish society that Russian aggression in February 2022 was either a kind of demonic whim of Putin or encoded in Russian identity or even in Mongolian admixture of genetic imperatives of push towards the West in order to gain always fresh territories and conquer fresh nations. This trend is expected to separate the Russians from another nations according to her publishers. specified infantile as a fairy tale to unwise children the presentation of the reasons for the beginning of the current war phase omits both the earlier past of Russia and the basic historical facts of more than 30 years after the dissolution of the USSR. The most crucial determinant of this last period were the borders of the recently created Ukrainian state drawn arbitrarily, whether according to internationalist and in fact anti-Russian ideology or the arbitrary decision of the Ukrainian Nikita Khrushchev. This problem was best characterized by no 1 another than Jerzy Giedroć, which in 1991 in the letter of the Continent stated: “When it comes to Ukraine, it is besides crucial to consider that the large condition of Ukraine, especially the left-wing one, is mostly affected. That is why we insisted – and our statements on this substance were printed in the "Continent" – to organise a plebiscite in these matters. It is not to be demanded that the borders of Ukraine go as they imagine them – it is simply a substance of the people's will. There is simply a full array of circuits that want to belong to Russia, they feel related to Russia and this must be regulated." Nothing like that happened. However, the results of subsequent elections showed that Giedroycia's diagnosis was correct. Representatives of the oligarchic clans who dominated political life in Ukraine obtained electoral support depending on their geopolitical orientation and it coincided with the civilizational – linguistic – geographical division indicated by the prominent Pole. The effort to regulate this issue was made by the Minsk agreements establishing the autonomy of the east circuits, but they were concluded besides late, without good religion and in circumstances which made the conflict virtually impossible. This would require both a political culture that allows us to act with moderation and a long time from the Ukrainians themselves and the compatible operation of powers.
Instead, we were faced with unprecedented linguistic, spiritual and cultural discrimination in the civilized planet of Russia-oriented minorities, cynically fueled and exploited by the exposes of the Atlantic geopolitical pole. A symbolic representation of both phenomena in practice was the handing out by the U.S. Secretary of State Viktoria Nuland cookies to nationalist militants during the Kiev mayan and massacre of defenseless pro-Russian supporters in Odessa. Ukrainian nationalists were incapable to go beyond their ideologies, and the West felt that it did not gotta respect the rule of indivisibility of safety that the safety of 1 country could not be built at the expense of the safety of another states.
2/ Second lie proclaimed by the Ukrainian organization in Poland is the attribution of Russia as natural as the alleged Western push towards "non-compliance". In this context, the 1994 Budapestan Memorandum of knowing on respect and respect for Ukraine's Borders is most frequently cited in exchange for the transfer of Russia's atomic arsenal. The Russian context and argument, which responds to these allegations, is completely disregarded by the repeated assurances made by Western leaders to Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO will not grow to the east. Then came NATO's aggression into Yugoslavia and inspired from outside the country's disintegration, supporting separatistism and Chechen terrorism, recognising Kosovo's independence, Georgia's attack on South Ossetia and the Russian peacekeeping contingent. The West has besides committed, under false pretexts, aggression against conventional allies of Russia in the mediate East and North Africa.
In specified an global context and in a situation of persecution of a Russian number in Ukraine, even with a minimal cognition of Western history, the claim of a fundamental and typically Russian tendency to neglect to keep contracts sounds grotesque. Russia is simply a signatory to thousands of global agreements and their signatories neither complain nor forbid Russia from signing further agreements. On the another hand, the West's policy of sanctioning and freezing assets as far as possible exhausts the features of the proceedings that are incompatible with the agreements concluded and which undermine global trust.
3/ 3rd false utilized by Ukrainian parties with the top insistence, it is said that Russia, after defeating Ukraine, intends to attack NATO and even scope Portugal, and this situation means that “Ukraine fights for us” and the immense efforts which Poland bears to support it are an investment in our security. The same circles at the same time say that Russia is losing the war, that it is about to fall apart, and on the front, the only thing it succeeds is kidnapping children and bombing civilian objects. Putting aside the requirements of propaganda during the war, it must be added that no 1 another than the NATO Secretary-General himself Mark Rutte In his November speech this year, he calculated precisely the advantage of the alliance states over Russian potential, and Russian successes in fresh months have been far from decisive and having a dimension beyond the marked large casualties of occupying respective disputed circuits. However, next to the striking contradiction in the narration cited above, no 1 asks a key question to analyse specified a script why Russia would hit the West by No longer being present on the Polish-Belarusian border and in the Kaliningrad region, and above all why it did not do so erstwhile the Russia-friendly organization of Regions ruled the Ukraine, which notabene sought but without a answer of the roads to the agreement with Poland as a counterweight to the bander influence.
4/ 4th False connects to false third. He proclaims that Ukraine "fights for us" not only in a purely military sense, but besides "in defence of common values" which he supposedly shares with Poland and the full West. This correlates with the simultaneous dehumanization of Russians and the creation of Russia into an empire of evil, from which quasi spiritual accusation even withdrew Ronald Reagan. Meanwhile, thesis of any fundamental and affirmative difference in favour of Ukraine with Russia contradicts all figures and observations from execution statistics, through many associations of oligarchs from both countries, gigantic corruption, persecution and execution of political opponents. On the another hand, the thesis that Poles would combine common values with a nation glorifying the bander's degenerates and refusing to exhume their Polish victims, seems to be mocking and believing in a hypothetical situation in which Jews felt for spiritual fellowship with Germans, while these would rise Hitler's monuments. The latest corruption scandals are just the tip of an iceberg covering a rumble of gangster deals and interests. In a situation of immense Western crisis and akin scandals in the EU, including specified structures and minorities raised in specified an environment can only accelerate the disaster of Western Europe, strengthening the destructive elements that are affecting it itself. possibly in the Kremlin, they would "shoot champagne corks due to this".
5/ False fifth It says that Russian propaganda mostly shapes Polish thinking, and that any indication of conflicting interests of Poland and Ukraine or telling the fact about past is an action under its influence. Panchenko, Arleta Bojke and Dr. Daniel Szeligowski with PISM during the debate with Rafal Otoka – Frąckiewicz erstwhile asked about Russian media in Poland, they were able to name only the non-existent for respective years Sputnik, after which they went smoothly to the dangers that the net carries for weak Polish minds with its freedom of expression and argument. In the meantime, even a brief cognition of the largest online media on the Vistula River, the popularity of pro-Ukrainian bloggers and historians indicates that the thesis about Russian propaganda, which supposedly dominates the Polish Internet, is completely false, if not absurd. Therefore, Polish patriots who defend Polish interests and values are not confronted with arguments, but with names specified as “an idiot useful to Russia” or “a traitor”. With this deficiency of arguments, there is simply a increasing wave of intimidation and creeping quasi fascist panic against people and parties trying to defend the Polish interest – from arrests for online entries, by threatening the owners of gathering rooms, or demanding the illegalisation of parties representing Polish parties.
6/ False 6, in which the others are immersed and on which they are based is the cognition of all average people about the past of the Polish-Russian relations, about the fact that Russia is “aware” that Russia is our enemy and is eternal, not as the current head of the MFA said at the erstwhile phase "a hard geopolitical rival". This is simply a full series of lies and simplifications about the eternal Russian imperialism and the “car oppression”. We are dealing with a paradox in which the same people criticizing imperialism as specified and identifying Russia with communism usage the comparatively fresh laninous value of imperialism as the incarnation of evil and the final phase of capitalism. This comes to the complete disregard and disregard of Russian gestures and initiatives after 1989, the best example of which is the attitude on Katyń and the proposal of a joint celebration in honor of the victims of russian totalitarianism with Alexander Solzenicin and the leaders of both states. All these initiatives were rejected in a manner offensive to the Russians by the Polish side.
Until it's besides late.
The Ukrainian organization in Poland, thanks to specified communicative and specified an intellectual and intellectual climate, gained a basis for achieving its political goals. The most crucial of these is to prevent normalization of Polish-Russian relations and to impose on the Polish public "thoughtful emotional thinkers" about the expected eternal hostility and the ongoing state of war with Russia. However, due to the fact that Poles waiting years for regular medical procedures in 2025 might not believe that it is due to the fact that they are in war, the word war is becoming increasingly fresh adjectives of a kind of hybrid, informational, cognitive and even a diversion made by Russia, as evidenced by the fact that the Russians are not doing it only recruited by perfidious Mongols naive Ukrainians. The second goal is to force as many economical benefits as possible, whether it is military or economic, and preferably to drag Poland into the war, about which Andrzej Duda informed after the end of his presidency with disarming disinvoltration, but his confession was rapidly pushed to the background in the Polish infosphere.
The above shows that unless there is simply a mass remigration of Ukrainians from Poland, a number and political bias have their own goals, contrary to the Polish state's ration, and additionally feeding something called a bad belief in sociology to push out from the consciousness of uncomfortable facts from their own past and to cultivate resentition towards hosts. The principles of geopolitics confirmed by past require that the Ukrainian organization will be primarily aware of Germany, whether it is connected to the EU branch of globalisation or to the reborn German nationalism. In conjunction with the power of the Ukrainian army, with German reinforcements and the influx into Polish immense Ukrainian capital accumulated as a consequence of corruption, this represents an existential threat for Poland. It's time to realize this and work on neutralizing it at all levels.
