DISINFO: Poland leads a campaign whose ultimate goal is to destroy Russia

SUMMARY

Poland leads a campaign that aims to blame Russia for the WW2, for deaths of tens of millions of people, that Russia comes from hell and must be destroyed. In these circumstances we must say the truth: Poland cooperated with Hitler and Russia stopped Polish-Hitler aggression.

RESPONSE

Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about Poland and the WW2. The Polish authorities have publicly rebutted Russia's repeated attempts at historical revisionism, there is no campaign aimed at destruction of Russia. The disinformation message is a part of Russian efforts of historical revisionism, in order to portray Russia in World War II as a non-aggressive power and Poland as one of the main culprits of the conflict. It is a proven historical fact that Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact contained the Secret Supplementary Protocol, which assumed the division of Poland and other Eastern European countries between the USSR and Germany. Thus, the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact led to German and Soviet military aggression against Poland in September 1939, which resulted in its complete occupation by Germany and the USSR. You can see other examples of disinformation narratives about the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact here, here and here, and about alleged Poland’s blame here, here and here.
