In the new edition of the program “Poisons of the Kremlin” of television wPolsce.pl, investigative journalist Marek Pyza spoke about the work behind the scenes of the Open Dialog Foundation by Ludmiła Kozłowska and Bartosz Kramek. They filed a lawsuit against the weekly magazine “Sieci”, demanding PLN 300,000 each for calling them an “influence agency”, but in November the court ruled in a final judgment that the authors of the famous text were not guilty of defamation – so Kozłowska and Kramek can truthfully be called an agency of influence in Poland.
When asked how people involved in pro-Western movements in Eastern Europe could be financed by oligarchs from the Russian world, Marek Pyza replied:
everything the Open Dialog Foundation and the people associated with it did before 2015 was part of building its image. What they were called to do came out a little later, together with Bartosz Kramek’s ideological manifesto, which he published on the Open Dialog Foundation website on July 22, 2017. (…) What he wrote there is important: let the state stand, let’s close the government, let’s organize strikes, let the judges strike, let’s not pay taxes, etc.
Marek Pyza called this manifesto a call for anarchy. Host Jakub Maciejewski said that the attitude of the Open Dialog Foundation, which was somehow involved in the Ukrainian Maidan before 2015, and in Moldova de facto supported the political climate led by Maia Sandu, is a good illustration of the phenomenon of ‘making the power of influence legendary’. “, that is, creating appearances.
However, the program not only showed examples of Bartosz Kramek’s actions, such as cutting barbed wire on the Polish-Belarusian border during the immigration crisis. At the time, this act of vandalism, which opened the Polish border, was promoted by, for example, “Gazeta Wyborcza” and the TVN channel. Does this mean that some journalists supported the influence organizations in Poland? Pyza also mentioned the Onet.pl portal.
There is a journalist like Marcin Wywał, a leading war correspondent. After all, he was de facto the informal spokesperson for the ‘Open Dialogue’ in Poland. Whenever there were problems with them, unfavorable publications, he set up a screen “behind” the influence organization, he was present, on behalf of his brother, they simply carried out joint actions
– he emphasized.
