According to NATO’s plans, which are to be discussed at the summit in Chicago in May, the countries of the former USSR, which surround Russia, must play the role of an “anaconda ring” pressing Russia...The essence of the North-Atlantic alliance as a military and political bloc has not changed since its establishment in 1949. NATO has not changed its goals regarding historical Russia which were set back in the beginning of the Cold War. These are only means of achieving these goals which are changing.

With discord lingering in various parts of Europe – in Silesia, Catalonia, the Basque Country, Wales, Scotland, Wallonia, and Flanders – autonomy movements permanently loom on the background of the EU politics. Poland's ethnic separatism, which is currently rising in Upper Silesia, appears to fit neatly into the existing trend but is a relatively new and in many regards distinct phenomenon. The Silesian Autonomy Movement Movement was established in 1990 and used to be seen as a fairly ridiculous gathering until it transpired during the 2002 population survey in Poland that 173,000 people chose to describe themselves as Silesians rather than Poles...

Loaded with anti-Russian propaganda, Jerzy Hoffman's new movie about the 1920-1921 Polish-Russian war – The Battle of Warsaw 1920 - will no doubt resonate with the Western audience…

The meeting in late September of the member states of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) project (initiated by Poland and Sweden and targeting six post-Soviet states – Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia) showed that Warsaw is still interested in the Euro-Atlantic integration of these countries, especially of the first three ones... Actually, the EaP project is aimed at breaking long cultural and historical traditions which used to unite Russia and it’s the former Soviet republics. The aim is also to let the West expand its military presence in the region, an initiative also launched by Poland...

For the US, Poland is a dependable partner whom Washington can entrust with serious geopolitical missions. The meeting of the Ukrainian and Polish leaders came under scrutiny in a publication by Stratfor, a private US intelligence company occasionally referred to as the shadow CIA... The view strongly held by STRATFOR analysts is that „Poland is searching for strategic depth” by upgrading the Polish-Ukrainian relationship, „the idea being that Kiev is the one playing the role of buffer to Russia”...

The thinly veiled agenda behind World War II revisionism is to undermine the reputation of today's Russia. The invectives against the Soviet regime which evaporated decades ago combine into an arrangement for a “Nuremberg trial” to be faced by the modern Russia. This is the real reason why the country is showered with allegations that its administration holds on to the “totalitarian past”, with territorial claims, and with outrageous compensation demands…

...In the 1920ies, the triumphant Poland launched a sweeping campaign of uprooting all things Russian. When the Russian Cathedral of Saint Alexander of Neva, a shrine with artwork of exceptional value, was looted and destroyed in Warsaw, a Polish newspaper wrote that by this Poland had demonstrated moral superiority over Russia...

...The burial site left from the distant epoch does not look like a cemetery in the full sense of the word. With garbage freshly removed, it is a small piece of land with some two dozen white poles, plaques on them reading: “Russian, 1920/1921”. A label marking the whole site says laconically: “Captive Bolsheviks from Russia are buried here”. No names or further information are available around. Asked a question about the place, a Tuchola resident responded bluntly: “Must we care about the Russian dead?” Well, at least, credit must be given to us for caring about the Polish dead...

November 20, 2010 is the 65 th anniversary of the Nuremberg Trial, which took 11 months and ended with death sentences to 12 key Nazi war criminals. Thoroughly studied by historians, the Trial nevertheless remains terra incognita in some aspects, and its perception is heavily burdened with stereotypes...
