Over 100 years ago, Russia became core of USSR and the pioneer of international struggle for workers' liberation, poverty lifting, enlightenment, scientific progress and propagation of socialism and communism.
Now -- in my humble and maybe biased by liberal propaganda view -- Russia is one of the most reactionary, conservative, backward-looking, clerical country. Please excuse me posting some liberal, imperialist shit here, but seems that Kremlin officially admits going far-right: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/kremlin-finally-puts-together-ideology
Speaking locally, there seems to be evidence that Polish far-right party PiS (Law and Justice) is backed by Kremlin as well as the extremely influential priest, Tadeusz Rydzyk, founder and director of the ultra-catholic, conservative Radio Maryja station has/had ties with Polish and Russian security services before the end of People's Republic of Poland and USSR (sic!). I have some generally available videos, but in Polish, sadly.
Could you tell me how far this is true? If so, what purpose had the late communist states and today's Russia in spreading far-right propaganda? WTF went wrong?
i thought the piss party was as anti russia as you can get
Yup, though that level of russophobia is representative for most of Polish political mainstream and quite average considering all public spaces (which is, especially internet, full of literal nazi rhetorics agains Russians).
Any allegiations of PiS being supported by Russia are most likely just Polish versions of russiagate, it's a country where politicians of all parties are accusing eachother with straight faces of being "communists", "socialists", "Kremlin agents" and so on, while all of them really being Washington marionettes.
Outwardly, but that is primarily rhetoric. They are closely economically aligned. They’re not allies by any measure, but the party want to maintain economic and resource connections with Russia, as opposed to other liberal parties.
