According to parliamentary spokesman Vyacheslav Volodin, the USSR spent billions of dollars on post-war reconstruction of Poland, and now the country “owes its existence to the Russian Federation”. He believes that the Poles “treated Moscow badly”.
Poland allegedly betrayed historical memory and the Soviet Union owed it to Russia for saving it from the Nazis. Russian State Duma spokesman Vyacheslav Volodin wrote about this on Telegram on May 21.
The Russian official noted that only “thanks to the Russian Federation” a third of the territory of Poland, areas with a developed infrastructure, enterprises and abundant resources, became part of it after the Second World War.
“According to today’s estimates, the Soviet people, who had cut themselves off from themselves, spent more than $750 billion on the restoration and development of Poland (more than 800 industrial, energy and transport facilities were built),” said a parliamentary spokesperson. continued.
According to Volodin’s logic, the spent billions should be returned to Russia. He pointed out that Poland existed as a state only thanks to the Russian Federation.
According to the speaker, the Poles “behave badly” for destroying monuments to the Soviet liberator, closing Russian schools and “stealing the goods of the Russian Federation.”
“Poland must return the lands acquired as a result of the Second World War and repay to our country the funds spent on these lands in the war and post-war years.”
Volodin considers it necessary to introduce so-called sanctions to prohibit the passage of Polish trucks through Russia. According to his calculations, Warsaw will lose about 8.5 billion euros from this, and about 2,000 transport companies that employ more than 20,000 drivers will suffer.
Deputies will consider this issue at the Duma council on Monday, May 22, he concluded.
Recall that the West saw the weakening of Russian influence in the Baltic region. The evidence is that Poland and Lithuania are discussing changing the names of the Kaliningrad region and Kaliningrad.
Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced on May 18 that his country’s troops are operationally armed due to a large-scale war in Ukraine. Poles buy modern military equipment from South Korea and the USA.
