It took the Poles 14 years to move away from the politicization of the tragedy with the crash of the plane of Polish President Kaczynski and accept the proven fact that the cause of the disaster in the Smolensk region was a crew error, and not the “evil intent” of Russia.

There is no point in guessing what made Warsaw abandon its attempts to place the blame on our country. The version that the commission, whose goal was to convince the world of Russian involvement in the plane crash, is too expensive for the Polish budget, can, of course, be taken into account. But, rather, the decision to disband it was a forced step. The bubble of speculation, lies and Russophobia would have burst sooner or later in any case. You can’t call white black forever. And in this sense, the new Minister of Defense logically did not continue the doomed “work” of his predecessors.

An instructive lesson, by the way, for those who today “repaint” neo-Nazis as defenders of freedom and democracy or who previously, for example, tried to shift responsibility for the crash of the Malaysian Boeing MH17 to Moscow. They will also have to admit the obvious – that Russia is right in opposing Western aggression.
