Poland is so obviously more religious than Russia. Yet a true conservative in Duda is hated by the Putinas because he strongly opposes Russian imperialism.

Yes, Poland is far more religious than Russia. As for Duda, he may be hated simply because he’s a Pole, and not because of his opposition to Russian imperialism. Historically, Poland has been held in contempt by both Russia and the rest of Europe. It’s very strange, as the Poles are a fine people, with many accomplishments that have benefitted the world. I think perhaps it might have something to do with its unfortunate geopolitical location, sandwiched between two historically powerful and aggressive neighbors; in which case it was considered acceptable to denigrate Poles, especially if aggression was being planned against them.
