The speaker of the Russian State Duma claims that Poland “behaves boorishly” when it demolishes monuments to a Soviet soldier, closes Russian schools and “steals the property of the Russian Federation.”
The head of the Russian State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, accused Poland of “treason” of historical memory and said that it should reimburse Russia $750 billion for “liberation from the Nazis” and recovery after World War II.
“Poland has betrayed historical memory. She forgot that the Soviet people succeeded in liberating her from the fascist invaders at a high price. Poland exists as a state only thanks to our country,” Volodin wrote on Telegram.
Volodin noted that “a third of the current Polish territories – areas with developed infrastructure, industrial enterprises, as well as rich in natural resources – became part of it after the Second World War only thanks to Russia.”
“In the post-war period, the Soviet people, tearing themselves away from themselves, spent more than 750 billion dollars on the restoration and development of Poland, according to today’s estimates (more than 800 industrial, energy, and transport facilities were built),” he says.
Volodin stressed that Poland seems to be “behaving boorishly” when it demolishes monuments to a Soviet soldier, closes Russian schools and “steals the property of the Russian Federation.”
“Abandoning universal history, Poland must return the territories acquired as a result of World War II and reimburse our country for the funds spent on it in the war and post-war years,” the Kremlin politician added.
Volodin noted that it would be “correct” to ban the passage of Polish trucks through the territory of the Russian Federation and even considered that the Poles “could lose about 8.5 billion euros” on this.
Recall that Poland withdrew funds from the accounts of the Russian Embassy.
