Yulia Latynina on Putin’s “Christmas present” for Poland.

But, of course - returning to the presents - Vladimir Putin gave the biggest Christmas present to a country called Poland. More precisely, he simply won another convincing hybrid victory over the Second Polish Republic,
which ceased, in fact, to exist, after being divided between Hitler and Stalin. Now Vladimir Vladimirovich delivered the final blow to that Polish Republic. And even promised to write an article about how bad the Poles are. This is already almost a auestion of linguistics.
(my comment: Stalin was proclaimed the world’s greatest linguist).

Thus, we have the answer to the question: what will come after Georgia and Ukraine. It will be Poland. Not the real one, but virtual , from the 30s. There will be five minutes of hatred, there will be
questions of linguistics: "they do not like us, they distort history."

Speaking generally, of course, there seems to be something personal in the Kremlin’s attitude to Poland. Because, if you recall, there was this “Day of National Unity” when suddenly, after a mere 300 years
we began to celebrate the liberation of the Kremlin from the Poles.

Then in 2009 there was also another wave. This time the heroine was Ms. Narochnitskaya, who made a historical discovery that the first concentration camps were organized by Poles for the Reds.
After that there were some propaganda films on the Rossiya channel, based on the revelations of KGB agents about how Poland was planning to invade the Soviet Union together with Adolf Hitler. As we know, it turned out a little differently.
In short, that Poland is to blame for World War II, we first heard from Hitler and other people. But so suddenly and several times ...
First, at a meeting with CIS leaders who were simply stunned. Then, at the collegium of the Ministry of Defense, Vladimir Vladimirovich began
to talk about “how things really” with the excitement of a neophyte.

I recall the resolution of the European Parliament of September 19, 2019 which had such an effect on Vladimir Vladimirovich. That is, a long time ago, in September, it was said that 80 years ago on August 23
of the 39th year, the Communist Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact and the secret protocols that divided the independent states of Europe between two totalitarian states. As a result of the pact, Poland was invaded first by Hitler, and two weeks
later by Stalin. Because of this pact, on November 30, the USSR launched a predatory war against Finland and on June 40 occupied, annexed a part of Romania, as well as Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia.
The resolution then went on to say that after Hitler’s defeat,
a part of Europe remained under the yoke of Stalinism, and while the Nazi crimes were condemned in Nuremberg, it is still necessary and important to condemn the crimes of Stalinism.
Vladimir Vladimirovich said that this was nonsense and that the Soviet Union was the last country in Europe to sign a non-aggression pact with Germany. - last !!! - three exclamation points at the end.
Yes, he admitted, there was a secret protocol called the division of spheres of influence, and what did European countries do before that? - exactly the same.
Here, if I can use the words of Mark Solonin, with whom we discussed this, and who said: “What does the non-aggression pact have to do with it? What was signed by Molotov and Ribbentrop was not a non-aggression pact. It was a partition pact of Europe.
(see resolution of the European Parliament). It was a pact that divided the independent states of Europe between two totalitarian states, and 7 days after the signing of the pact Hitler invaded Poland, and 2 weeks later Stalin invaded Poland.
Vladimir Vladimirovich says that everyone did the same. Did I miss something. Which European state signed a pact on the division of Europe with Hitler? Which state, having signed this pact, began to implement it, annex territories?
Yes, there Poland after the Sudeten crisis got a small piece of Czechoslovakia, which, of course, was not good from Poland, and which, of course, was agreed by Hitler so that he would not look as the only aggressor.
But, well, how do you compare these 800 square kilometers that Poland received with those territories that the Soviet Union annexed under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact? Indeed, a non-aggression pact can be signed with anyone, even ISIS.
And it is clear that Munich was a big blow for Stalin, because Stalin hoped that Stalin would get involved in a war with Hitler over Czechoslovakia. Prior to this, Stalin hoped that the West would engage in a war with Hitler and the Nazis in Spain. Both times he did not succeed.
But this was the Stalinist fox strategy: “While the lions are fighting, I will eat the pie”.

Actually, the whole strategy of Stalin, who turned his country into a factory for the production of weapons for the conquest of the world, in particular, was built to push the West and
Hitler into mutual destruction. He tried to do it in Spain, he tried to do it in Czechoslovakia. It is clear that the West, which also understood all this very well, in particular, did not get involved in the war with Hitler precisely because he understood - both Chamberlain
and Daladier - that Stalin would be the main beneficiary. And, of course, the West wanted that if Hitler fought with someone, it would be the Soviet Union.
This is a long story, which, of course, is simply impossible to disassemble, to which an entire program would have to be devoted. But for all the indecent behavior of Daladier and Chamberlain, who preferred, as Churchill said, “dishonor to war and received war and dishonor,”
their reasons were very serious. And no, they did not share Europe with Hitler.

But further we learned that Poland actually entered into an agreement with Hitler. I quote Vladimir Vladimirovich: “And this is evident from archival documents.”
And what particularly touched Vladimir Vladimirovich was how the so-called Jewish question was discussed by Hitler and Poland. He told a beautiful story that Hitler told the Polish ambassador to Germany that he had the idea of ​​expelling Jews to Africa.
I quote: “Imagine 1938. To send Jews from Europe to Africa for extinction, for extermination. ” To which the Polish ambassador replied to Hitler: "If he does, we will put him a magnificent monument in Warsaw." “The bastard is anti-Semitic,” said Vladimir Vladimirovich,
the same one whose generals reported to him that when a Russian rocket shot down a Russian plane, it all happened because of the damned Jews whose planed managed to get out of the way.
When I saw this, I thought that after this speech all of Europe would discuss what happened to the Polish plane near Katyn. Of course, when you listen to this, it is clear that those people who advise Putin on history, are about the same people who palm off on the president a
video in which our soldiers allegedly fight against ISIS in Syria, and then it turns out that in this video American Apaches helicopter is shooting at the Taliban in Afghanistan.
That is, they are related to reality and even the letters are genuine, but apparently, they just somehow forgot to tell the context to Vladimir Vladimirovich. They forgot to tell Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin that none other than the founder of Zionism, Theordor Herzl, in 1903
supported the British idea of ​​creating the state of Israel on the territory of part of present-day Kenya. Moreover, this plan was supported by the 6th Zionist Congress, although quite a few were opposed. Subsequently, they rejected it.
But in 1938, when all this German-Polish correspondence took place, there was another Franco-Polish plan for the resettlement of Jews in Madagascar. And the Jews were against it.
And, in general, I have to tell Vladimir Vladimirovich that it is nonsense to say that certain death would have been waiting for the Jews in Madagascar, because, in fact, Palestine at the beginning of the 20th century, when Jews moved there,
was a place of barren mountains and malaria swamps, it was undoubtedly a place of environmental disaster, definitely worse than the island of Madagascar. And I think that if Jews from Poland and Germany were sent to the island of Madagascar in 38, now the island of Madagascar
would be in the top ten countries in the world in terms of living standards, the development of medicine and technology.
