This morning, 🇷🇺Dmitry Medvedev decided to post a lengthy letter 🇵🇱"On Poland" - it is a curious mix of Soviet and pan-Slavic mythology with mockery, dire criticism and veiled threats against Poland - here are the key points 🧵

Morawiecki, Kaczynski and Czech/Slovenian PM trip to Kyiv was 'like Lenin's trip in a German-funded armoured train', promised Zelensky friendship - but 'lied, of course'

Poland suffers from 'long-term, pathological Russophobia' and does not mind its cost 'if the shed burnt down, let the house burn down too'

Poland (and Polish propaganda) - the most vicious, vulgar and shrill critic of Russia - 'Community of political idiots'.

Poland forgets Soviet Army liberated it from Nazi occupation - instead, Soviet 'occupation' is equated with Nazism - this is a deceitful and disgusting rhetoric

Yet, there are no anti-Polish sentiments in Russia - quite the opposite, Russians have reacted with 'an outburst of sympathy and compassion' to Kaczynski's plane crash in Smolensk, and Russia declared a day of mourning to honour the victims [LOLZ]

Later, during my visits to Poland, I [Medvedev] became convinced that Russia and Poland face no obstacles to improving relations (...) However, Poland's elites, led by Kaczynski ('no.2'), controlled by the American masters, did everything to block the path to normalisation

The interests of the citizens of Poland have been sacrificed due to Russophobia of 'mediocre politicians' and their 'puppeteers from across the ocean' with clear signs of senile insanity (sic!).

[Poland's] decision to abandon the purchase of Russian gas, oil and coal and the opposition to Nord Stream 2 have already caused serious damage to the economy of this country. Now it will only get worse.

But now it is much more important for the vassal Polish elites to swear allegiance to their overlords - USA - than to help their own citizens, so they will constantly fan the fire of hatred for the enemy - Russia

Economic cooperation with Russia is beneficial for the Poles, human ties are indispensable, and cultural and scientific exchange between the birthplaces of Pushkin and Mickiewicz, Tchaikovsky and Chopin, Lomonosov and Copernicus is vital.

Medvedev's grand finale: and most likely, Poles will make the *right* choice to cooperate with Russia - on their own, without prompting and pressure from overseas elites suffering from dementia.

EOT, I need to wash my eyes with bleach

Just finished vomiting over this, here's the original should anyone need it:
