MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. The so-called "de-Russification of the economy" announced by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki will be a costly and senseless gamble, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev forewarned on Monday.
"Morawiecki has unveiled the development of a program to ‘de-Russify the Polish and European economy’ and boldly declared that it may cost a great deal; yet he’s absolutely right, it will be expensive and senseless," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.
"Poland may no longer care about costs," he pointed out. "Everything it could lose because of its own pathological Russophobia has already been lost. So now, it has nothing to lose after having burnt down the barn, so why not torch the house as well, as their beloved neighbors say," he remarked.
"While Europe is bitterly realizing the scope of damage that anti-Russian sanctions have wreaked, our most favorite European country has tried to outrun a speeding train, literally," Medvedev wrote, citing as an example Morawiecki’s trip where he was joined by Deputy Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski and Czech and Slovenian prime ministers to Kiev ‘onboard a specially guarded train, in a similar vein to [Vladimir] Ilyich [Lenin]’s armored train car bankrolled by German money," Medvedev noted. "They spoke with Zelensky, promised him friendship and assistance. [They] were lying, of course," he added.
"When it comes to Russia, Poland literally squirms in ‘phantom agony.’ Its elites can’t come to grips with the fact that the Times of Troubles nearly 400 years ago ended, when the Polish occupiers got booted from the Kremlin. That the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth failed as an empire later, not because of Russia’s intrigues but because of domestic squabbles, corruption, economic failures, and lost battles. [That lasted for] many centuries," he explained.
"Polish propaganda is the nastiest, most vulgar and shrill critic of Russia," he emphasized.
