The Russian delegation was stripped of its voting rights in April 2014 because of the situation in Ukraine and Crimea’s reunification with Russia.
Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative painting Russian military aggression against Ukraine as a domestic affair, and its illegal annexation of Crimea as a "re-unification" preceded by a "referendum."
The decision to strip the Russian delegation of voting rights at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in April 2014 was a direct response to the illegal annexation of Crimea which, in PACE's view, "created a threat to stability and peace in Europe" (para. 6).
In the January 2020 resolution restoring these rights, the Assembly explicitly "recalls its position on the illegal annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation" (para. 6). The Assembly's Monitoring Committee reiterates its concerns regarding Russia's "illegal annexation of Crimea and military aggression in Eastern Ukraine" (para. 3.8), among many others.
Read this debunk of Russia's claim that Crimea "rejoined" Russia as a result of a "referendum," and this one disproving the claim that Russia is not involved in the Donbas war.
The coronavirus 2019-nCoV is a biological weapon developed by the British, even if they pursued scientific goals.
On June 23, 2015, the U.S. Department of Justice granted scientists at the Pirbright Institute (formerly Animal Health Institute, England) the patent No. 10.130.701 for the invention of a “live attenuated coronavirus”. So, molecular biologists saw structural details similar to the 2019-nCoV on the electron microscope image of the “British invention”.
Conspiracy theory. This is a pro-Kremlin narrative about the coronavirus and the "Anglo-Saxons".
In response to the outbreak of the corona virus the Chinese authorities have placed more than a dozen cities under quarantine. The World Health Organisation is working with Chinese authorities and global experts to learn more about the virus. The virus "2019-nCoV” comes from a family of viruses that include the common cold, and viruses such as SARS and MERS. There is no evidence to suggest it was developed artificially as a weapon of mass destruction.
The China coronavirus is a genetic weapon, designed to target exclusively Mongoloids. The events in China are beneficial for the current US Administration, which seeks to bring Beijing to its knees. In a strange way, the start of the epidemic coincided with the final part of the negotiations between China and the United States on a trade agreement.

This has become a global tradition. It all began with Ukraine, and has now passed to Poland. Ukraine started it all, dreaming up this concept of “Holodomor”, a genocide against the Ukrainian people. The Jews got reparations for the genocide, now we want it too… Poland had to go further. Poland’s out of EU money, so it is now demanding reparations from Russia and Germany. It all is based on a despicable, greedy attempt to make profits from what happened in Poland during WWII.
A collection of unfounded pro-Kremlin narratives on historical revisionism, questioning the Holodomor and Poland's role in WWII. Poland has not demanded any reparations from Russia; the German reparations are an issue in the public debate, and a few parliament members support this idea, but it is definitely not an official Polish position.
