A Russian lawmaker has issued a fiery warning that Warsaw is next in line for “de-nazification” after Poland’s Prime Minister penned an op-ed calling Russia’s imperialist “Russkiy Mir” ideology a “cancer” consuming Russian society and a “deadly threat” to other countries.
Oleg Morozov, chairman of Russia’s State Duma Committee on Control, wrote in a message on Telegram on Friday that the Polish leader’s comments have essentially made Poland a target.
In his remarks, Morozov resorted to the Kremlin’s rhetoric in its military operation in Ukraine of so-called “de-Nazification,” a label Moscow has used to vilify its geopolitical adversaries and justify the war.
“With its statements about Russia as a ‘cancer’ and about the ‘indemnity’ that we must pay to Ukraine, Poland encourages us to put it in first place in the queue for de-Nazification after Ukraine,” Morozov wrote, according to a translation of his statement.
Morozov’s remarks were prompted by statements made by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and Polish President Andrzej Duda, who have both been highly critical of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Duda has said Russia should be forced to pay compensation to Ukraine for war damages while Morawiecki said Russian President Vladimir Putin is “more dangerous” than both Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin because he has nuclear weapons and a massive propaganda machine at his disposal.
Morawiecki wrote in a column in the British newspaper The Telegraph that “the cursed phantoms of the 20th century have risen again over Ukraine,” alleging that Russia’s invasion of its neighbor bears the hallmarks of fascism, “has already opened the gates to genocide,” and is driven by a “monstrous new ideology” that he called “Russkiy Mir.”
Morawiecki alleged that in the name of this ideology, Putin and his military entourage have ordered Russian forces into war, “convinced them of their superiority, and encouraged them to commit inhuman war crimes—the murder, rape, and torture of innocent civilians.”
“Putin’s ‘Russkiy Mir’ ideology is the equivalent of 20th-century communism and Nazism,” Morawiecki wrote, calling it a “cancer which is consuming not only the majority of Russian society, but also poses a deadly threat to the whole of Europe.”
It’s not enough to help Ukraine fend off Russia’s attack, Morawiecki argued, “we must root out this monstrous new ideology entirely.”
“Just as Germany was once subject to denazification, today the only chance for Russia and the civilised world is ‘deputinisation.’ If we do not engage in this task immediately, we will not only lose Ukraine, we will lose our soul and our freedom and sovereignty,” the Polish leader wrote.
Morawiecki argued that, unless it is opposed, Russia will not stop at Kyiv but will continue on a “long march towards the West.”
The Kremlin has denied it has any intentions of invading other countries. Putin has claimed that what he describes as a “special military operation” in Ukraine comes in response to attempts by Western powers to establish a bulwark in Ukraine that threatens Moscow’s security.
In particular, Putin has long said that NATO is trying to expand its borders to pressure Russia militarily, claims the defensive alliance has rejected as unfounded.
Another of the Kremlin’s key justifications for its operation in Ukraine has been to allege that the Russian-speaking population in the separatist-controlled Donbass and Luhansk region were being subjected to repression and what Putin has described as “genocide.”
A long list of scholars and academics has denounced Russia’s claims of genocide and “de-Nazification” of Ukraine as a false pretext meant to justify “unprovoked aggression” against its southern neighbor.
Russia is the country most in need of De-Nazification.
Does this mean nazi pelousy made the list ?
Poland: “I’ll be your huckleberry.”
Don’t worry. They only want half of Poland.
Germany can have the rest.

“Russian Lawmaker Says Poland Next In Line For ‘De-Nazification’”
About time it gets dealt with.
Considering how real Nazis treated Poland during World War II, this is the last country I should expect to show Nazi tendencies. For a start, I think more death camps (Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, etc.) were set up in Poland than any other country.
No country needs “denazification” more than Russia, starting with that Hitler wannabe at the top.
Germany can have the rest.
Did they sign another 10 year non aggression pact?
> Poland: “I’ll be your huckleberry.” <
Yep. Poland put up one heck of a fight against Nazi Germany in 1939, and only collapsed when it was invaded in the east by the Soviet Union. Today’s Poland would be an even tougher nut to crack.
First Putin came for the Ukraine, a non-NATO member
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Ukrainian.
Then Putin came for Malta & Cyprus, non-NATO members
and I did not speak out
because I was not from Malta & Cyprus.
Then Putin came for Switzerland and Ireland, non NATO members and I did not speak out
because I was not from Switzerland and Ireland.
Then Putin came for Finland and Sweden, non-NATO members.
and I did not speak out
because I was not from Finland and Sweden
Then Putin came for the rest of the world
And there was no non-NATO members left
To speak out for my people and your people.
If Ukraine can hold off Russia, Poland will kick their ass. Poland has a century of payback to give to the Rooskies.
That picture. I thought Russians were too backwards to execute in flight refueling - unless they are passing Vodka to the always drunk pilots.
China has unfinished business with Japan. Russia kept the Sakhalin’s. We gave back Okinawa, Iwo Jima, let criminals off the hook. Something tells me we’re smart to be so forgiving. Taiwan can only hope.
The main thing is that Nazi in Russia means “non-Communist.”
During the Cold War the USA and the rest of the west were Nazis and Fascists.
Bingo! Nazi! Is that your final answer? Our survey says, “Poland!” Bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing! Well, it was very nice to meet you, Vlad. Thank you for the Special Military Operation, and good luck with the Apocalypse. Oh, and by the way, you suck!
Russian bluster. Even the Soviet Union repeatedly flinched and drew back from trying to invade and occupy Poland when it was a Warsaw Pact ally during the Cold War. Poland today is a NATO member and prosperous, well-armed, and cohesive, with a sense of historical duty to be a bulwark against Russia. A Russian attack on Poland would end in disaster for Russia.
Optimistic.
They have to finish Ukraine first.
Russia is going to spread itself thin..? will be weak.
I am of the opinion that Poland will be even more difficult to attack and succeed. They have been modernizing since 2014 and are just as motivated to defend their country.
