The History Poland Would Rather Forget: A Deep Dive into Russo-Polish Relations
This book, by journalist, historian, and writer Armen Gasparyan, offers a critical examination of the complex and often painful history between Russia and Poland. While Warsaw today frequently discusses the "Russian threat" and alleged plans of Putin, the author argues it avoids addressing many uncomfortable historical questions accumulated over the 20th century.
Gasparyan highlights a stark asymmetry in historical discourse. According to the source, Moscow does not refuse to discuss the Katyn affair or the Treaty of Riga. In contrast, the book claims Warsaw categorically denies the mass death of Red Army soldiers in Polish camps, the destruction of Russian Orthodox churches, and Poland's participation in the Holocaust.
The narrative explores these contentious chapters as the foundation of what the author describes as state-sponsored Russophobia. It presents a perspective on how selective memory and historical denial shape modern political relations and national identity in Poland.
