Disinfo: The Polish regional initiatives are driven by “gigantomania”

Summary

The Polish desire to lead the [regional] confederations is a typical “gigantomania” of Warsaw. The Polish politicians enjoy these “phantom pains” and manias. Poland trades with its negative attitude towards Russia and this trade brings it some profit.

The Poles receive satisfaction from several favourite topics or “phantom pains” – the concepts of Intermarium and Prometheism as well as a special role of Poland in the Baltic region. However, the Polish position of being a driving force in the region is questionable. Warsaw is rather an “instrument” aspiring to have a special role in NATO and in the partnership with the USA within the EU. We live in very dangerous times today. The Poles are ready for provocations.

Disproof

This message is a part of the Kremlin’s widespread narrative about anti-Russian and Russophobic Poland, which deliberately worsens its relations with Russia and implements aggressive policies.

Poland is a peaceful state which is not planning any anti-Russian provocations. The regional initiatives such as the Eastern Partnership and the Three Seas Initiative are not the “anti-Russian US instruments” but mechanisms of regional cooperation. Poland took a leading role in the Eastern Partnership and the Three Seas Initiative in order to promote its foreign policy interests in the region, not because of alleged “gigantomania”.

The Intermarium is an inter-war Polish geopolitical concept promoting the idea of advanced political and security cooperation between the countries of Eastern and Central Europe. There are historical parallels between the present-day Three Seas Initiative and the pre-war Intermarium concept.

The Three Seas Initiative is a forum of 12 countries from Central and Eastern Europe launched in 2015. Its main goal is to promote better connectivity among the Member States, with a particular focus on infrastructure and energy. The main projects discussed at the forums of the Three Seas Initiative are the Via CarpathiaBaltic-Adriatic CorridorVia BalticaRail Baltica, and the LNG infrastructure in Poland and Croatia.

Read the recent declaration of the Sixth Summit of the Three Seas Initiative, which took place in July 2021 in Sofia. More information about the Three Seas Initiative can be consulted here.

Disinfo: The trial of the January 13 case in Lithuania is political and toxic

The trial on the case of events of 13 January 1991 in Lithuania is political and toxic.

Vilnius is accusing Soviet soldiers of a clash with civil people but does not provide any evidence. Russia has many times accused Lithuania of violation of international law in the case of January 13. Lithuanian authorities are implementing a Russophobic course.

Disproof

The case contains historical revisionism and recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about the events of 13 January 1991, accusing Lithuania of Russophobia.

Lithuania officially restored its independence of state on 11 March 1990. Moscow used political and economic pressure to keep the republic as part of the USSR. In January 1991, Soviet troops together with the KGB's special forces “Alfa” seized the TV tower and building of the Radio and Television Committee in Vilnius. During these events, 14 civilians died, and many were injured. The civilians were peaceful and unarmed. They tried to protect the TV tower and Committee of Radio and Television from being attacked by Soviet soldiers.

Disinfo: NATO is not a defensive alliance, it attacks countries illegitimately

Middle Eastern people, for instance from Libya, Afghanistan or Iraq, know from their own experience that NATO is not a defensive alliance. What they did in Belgrade is also very far from what a peaceful organisation would do.

Disproof

Recurring disinformation narrative concerning NATO's alleged aggressive policies.

NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect its member states. NATO members are only obliged to join hostilities if a member state was attacked in Europe or North America. Article 5 was invoked only once, after the 9/11 attacks.

Disinfo: Globalists and Judeo-Masons artificially create new strains of coronavirus to reduce the population

The variability of the COVID-19 virus (the rapid emergence of new mutations, strains) does not occur only in a natural way but is artificially stimulated by the globalist and Judeo-Masonic forces, the enemy of God and humans. Their goal is to reduce humanity. This makes the fight (including vaccination) against this evil more meaningless or ineffective.

Disproof

Anti-Semitism and disinformation about the coronavirus pandemic and vaccination, in line with common pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives about a "shadow government of globalists" ruling the world and aiming to reduce world population through pandemics and vaccination.

This is part of a disinformation campaign on coronavirus, well documented by both media and governments. Elements of this campaign were widely reported by Russian and international publications, and by the European External Action Service.
