The biggest star, face, and voice of the war with Ukraine sang the most moving anti-war song in the history of Russian music. Among Russian vocalists supporting the "special operation," Shaman is mentioned most frequently in Poland. Meanwhile, I discuss on my channel about (translated)

Ukrainians have chosen - according to the influential weekly NV, the greatest national hero of Ukraine is not Bandera, but Olga. A Russian princess, probably from Pskov (according to the logic that Kievan Rus is Ukraine, she should be called a Russian...), ruling Kyiv in the first half of the 10th century. (translated)

A Russian writer went to war as a volunteer. Then he described the rapes, looting, and other crimes of his own army — and began to openly criticize the war. Daniil Tulenkov is one of the strangest cases of Russian Z-literature. This is what my latest Eastern Current is about. (translated)

In the current @DoRzeczy_pl my interview with Julia Mendel @IuliiaMendel. The former spokesperson for President Zelensky says: "It was Putin who unleashed this war. Another matter is that the authorities in Ukraine, just like some forces in the West, want to continue this war. Meanwhile, the nation... (translated)

Yes, Ukraine's support for Serbia is logical. Kosovo is a very similar case to Donbas for another reason - it's not about the desire for self-determination for a nation that already had its own state (so the argument "they deserve their own state because they never had it" is invalid).

Zakowski: "Poland has not come to terms with its history, just like Ukraine." If Ukraine had not "come to terms with its history" like Poland, the Ukrainian IPN would officially call the crimes of Klym Sawur "genocide" (like the Polish IPN did with Bury's actions), in Volhynia (like in Jedwabne) the Ukrainian (translated)

The cult of OUN and UPA also has a pop cultural dimension in Ukraine. A famous singer wears a Bandera sweatshirt (though she does not publicly support Bandera), soldiers drive "banderolobiles," children sing "our father Bandera," Molotov cocktails are called "Bandera smoothies," everywhere. (translated)

The greatest manipulation of the current war. It is in Poland's interest to have Ukraine's independence. But even more, it is in Ukraine's interest. We are in NATO, they are not. They are already fighting, we do not know if we will have to at all (Russia treats NATO as an enemy, but it is not). (translated)

Russia, apparently in defense of Christian values, bombed the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The most important Orthodox monastery of ancient Rus. When the Lavra was taken from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (Moscow Patriarchate) and given to the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, Moscow (translated)

Kiev is going to war with Bulgakov! I'm talking about how Ukraine is canceling Russian culture in the latest episode of "Eastern Current." I encourage you to listen! And to share your opinion in the comments (here or on YouTube) - is the dismantling of Bulgakov's monuments in Ukraine justified? (translated)

In the current @DoRzeczy_pl, my voice in the debate about relations with Russia. I write about the fact that a potential reset is a delusion. Moscow is not interested in an agreement with Poland, which it considers an enemy in a sense greater than Ukraine. And why it is worth reading my text. (translated)
