Vandalism or reaction?

The most celebrated portal in Tricity has published an article on the fact that they are looking for “a dangerous criminal”. any young man, who was captured by cameras directed at the mural, along the way of the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway, decided to usage a dangerous weapon in the form of a spray spray and to paint it with any different works of Polish artists painted on the wall, who did so in the reflex of solidarity with Ukraine, on which according to the authoritative version Russia invaded for no reason. A spokesperson for the Pomeranian Metropolitan Railway Tomasz Konopacki stated that there is no explanation for specified an act of vandalism, and all this requires condemnation. Almost 3 years ago, a wanted pensioner, who wrote the word “Fascists and Bandits” indistinctly alongside the image of the brothers Klickko, committed a akin act. Then it turned out that the full way was filled with over 300 cameras so the mouse wouldn't even slip.

Or were there another motivations?

In the article, however, we will find nothing but the fact presented and the fact that he resented it with the aid of a politically correct rhetoric of PKM spokesman. And what motives could a young man have if we looked at Ukraine as a whole? Especially since the perpetrator of this "heavy" crime is inactive wanted. Consider what could have led to specified a “desperate” act of a young Polish citizen? possibly these were insolent statements of the Ukrainian ambassador to Poland? Vasily Bodnar late said in an interview with Tomasz Terlikowski that "If Poland does not send troops to Ukraine, it will not participate in its reconstruction". There are already detached statements of disagreement with territorial concessions. In order not to show this as an isolated case, 1 can callback Natalia Panchenko's earlier statement, who stated in another interview that “Today, erstwhile all 10 inhabitants of Poland are Ukrainian, the increasing hostility between Ukrainians and Poles is already very dangerous, especially for Poland. due to the fact that there will be fights in Poland, due to the fact that in Poland there will be arson of shops, houses and so on.”. However, earlier it turned out that Gdańsk is simply a German city, and UPA fought Poland for independency of Ukraine. Or possibly the act that was most likely done by a Gdańsk citizen was connected with the speech at Campus Polska Dmytro Kuleby ? At the time, the Minister of abroad Affairs of Ukraine in the tide of sincerity said crucial words. On the question of 1 of the participants, erstwhile will the exhumation of the victims of the Volhynia massacre be carried out, he said: "Do you realize the operation of the Vistula and the function of Olsztyn in this operation? Do you realize what Operation Vistula was? You know that all these Ukrainians were forced out of Ukrainian territories to live in Olsztyn.” erstwhile 1 listens to specified statements, from which the typical Ukrainian revisionism is that any lands in Poland belong to Ukraine sui generis, it can most likely origin additional emotions. And as for the exhumation issue, it is not erstwhile that Leszek Miller said that Ukrainians are afraid of specified exhumation due to the fact that then the full planet would know how women, children and men were murdered. In this case, he referred to 1 of the exhumations that archaeologists carried out, shaken by what they saw in mass graves.

Heroes forever in memory

The possible origin of "wandalism" may besides be that the ideology according to which UPA carried out brutal murders on Poles, Ukrainians, Jews, Czech Republic, Russians or Roma is an ideology which Ukraine did not disown, raising Roman Suchewycz or Stepan Bandera to the rank of national heroes. Our politicians have besides been humiliated many times in situations where the UPA flag was present in their presence. The Ukrainian authorities demanded that the destroyed monuments of this criminal organization be rebuilt in Poland. Unfortunately, we will not learn about this kind of fact from the author of the article about the "vandal" destroying the mural of PLN 30 000, or from the spokesperson of PKM, who could possibly have problems. Finally, this kind of workplace is expected to be "depoliticised", but it is known that in any cases 1 has to talk with 1 voice. Especially if it is tactfully essential to silence any uncomfortable facts that illuminate the origin of an event.
