DISINFO: Poland should be thankful to Stalin for the return of Silesia and major part of East Prussia

SUMMARY

Poland should be thankful to Joseph Stalin for the return of Silesia and transfer of 75% of East Prussia to its control.

RESPONSE

This message is an attempt at Russian historical revisionism, portraying the Stalinist USSR as the peacemaker and liberator of Poland.

The decision to pass Silesia, part of East Prussia and other former German territories to the Polish state was made by the USA, the UK and the USSR at the Yalta Conference in February 1945 and the Potsdam Conference in July-August 1945.

Read similar messages such as: Stalin decided to establish the independent Polish state; It is thanks to Russia that Poland exists today as a country and Warsaw would not have been rebuilt without the decision of Stalin.

The same article contains another disinformation message that the Polish Government deliberately worsens its relations with Russia.
