Recently, the activities of Russian propaganda in the Polish direction have been characterized by aggressiveness of the message on an unprecedented scale, said the government’s plenipotentiary for the security of the information space of the Republic of Poland, Stanisław Żaryn.
Stanisław Żaryn told PAP that the Kremlin’s information activities have been full of exposed threats, foul language and contemptuous tone of voice in recent times.
This clear and abrupt change should not be seen as a sign of nervousness or rashness in the actions of the Russian influence apparatus, but as a continuation and escalation of intimidation operations based on the context of current events.
– emphasized the Government’s Plenipotentiary for Information Space Security.
In response to the decisive steps taken by Poland towards Russia, i.e. the seizure by the Public Prosecutor’s Office of funds from the accounts of the Russian Embassy and the seizure by the Treasury, following a court decision, of a school building for children of Russian diplomats , the Kremlin has launched a campaign of accusations against Poland of violating diplomatic relations
he noticed.
The minister noted that the Russian ambassador to Poland, Sergey Andreyev, was heavily involved in this campaign.
This is complemented by aggressive statements by other propagandists, see P. Astakhov’s statements in W. Solovyov’s program calling for the killing of the Polish ambassador to Russia as part of acceptable +retribution+
Zaryn said.
In addition to reinforcing the psychological pressure on Poland, these apparently exaggerated and harsh Russian propaganda actions have another purpose: to reinforce the message of another long-running operation against Poland, in which our country is falsely portrayed as an adventurer and aggressor.
he stressed.
He pointed out that last week the Russians tried to attribute first to Ukraine and then to the United States what they described as “a drone attack on the Kremlin with the intention of making an attempt on Vladimir Putin’s life”.
The strategic level of Russian propaganda was involved in this information operation, in particular the persons of Kremlin spokesman D. Peskov and head of the Russian Foreign Ministry S. Lavrov. The latter, who participated in the summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, announced retaliatory measures against Kiev
– he gave.
It is possible that this activity in the infosphere, completely controlled by Russian propaganda and therefore difficult to verify, is the background information for Russia’s aggressive actions against Ukraine, or will serve as an argument in the Kremlin’s diplomatic games with the West.
– added Stanislaw Zaryn.
