It has long been popular to mention to political opponents as “Russian agents”. Recently, however, specified terms have been going beyond the political framework of publicism and gaining a real legal framework. The genie from the bottle released the erstwhile government, creating the State Commission for the examination of Russian influences on the safety of the Polish Republic, which was to be aimed at Donald Tusk, but turned out to be a typical “wetted capiscuous”, and the fresh parliamentary majority shortly dismantled it.

However, the escape to Belarus of the justice of the Warsaw Provincial Administrative Court, Tomasz Szmydt, increased the search for “Russian influences” in Warsaw. Prime Minister Donald Tusk decided to copy the solution applied by the Law and Justice Department, but he bypassed the legislative way and issued an order which set up a commission to examine Russian and Belarusian influences from 2004 to 2024. It will be headed by the head of the SKW Gen. Jarosław Swarżyk. "I would very much like the work of this committee to free the atmosphere and public life in Poland from this unbearable burden of speculation, speculation, hundreds of publications, tv broadcasts, tens of books on this subject. Over the years, we have had an ocean of information about alleged, actual, possibly false information, about the influence of Russian and Belarusian services on the actions of politicians or elder officials. And that is why we will be waiting for the urgent and fast results of this committee," said Donald Tusk.

In addition to the committee, Tusk decided to strike at Jarosław Kaczyński's hated organization and during the debate on the cancellation of climate minister Paulina Hennig-Kloski (known as the forging of regulations for the windmill lobby) stepped on the parliament's mouthpiece and shouted that the organization of the United Right was "The Pay Traitors of Pachołka Russia". Given the search for Russian influences in fresh years almost everywhere by specified people from the PiS circle, specified as the right hand of Mariusz Kamiński, or another officers of the "good change" it sounds at least curiosity.

At the same time, politicians of the Civic Platform besides targeted the Confederacy in their search for Russian agents. "I would like to make the advanced committee aware that the members of the Committee on National Defence include people with pro-Russian sympathy. This is widely known information and possibly in the context of a justice Szmydt would besides request to explain this topic," said Paweł Suski of the PO, in a gathering of the Defence Committee, pointing to Confederate associate Andrzej Zapalowski. In media statements, as evidence of Zapalowski's “prorossiness” he points out publications by a disgraced blogger Marcin Rey, who conducts the profile “Russian V column in Poland”. Rey has already been convicted twice of defamation.

About the hunting of Russian agents, the paranoia of elites, as well as about the services that operate in Poland, Kamil Klimczak will talk in the next episode of the cycle "Where We Go" with the Confederate associate Prof. Andrzej Zapalowski.
