“There is a difference in understanding history”: Russian prankers congratulated Polish President Andrzej Dudu on election victory

“We managed to arrange a conversation with the president through his office in about four hours, oddly enough. Although there they told us that they were afraid of some “strange provocations” when organizing such negotiations, ”Vladimir Kuznetsov told RT. “We were switched to the president when he was driving somewhere in central Poland, the conversation lasted about 20 minutes.”

We give the most interesting fragments from the audio recording provided by the prankers.

On discrimination against sex minorities

Pranker: Donald Tusk gave me a gift from your country - Zubrovka. Very strong drink.

Polish President Andrzej Duda: Yes, haha.

P .: Why did I remember him - I talked to him yesterday, and he expressed concern that you are discriminating against the rights of the LGBT community. I hope this is not true.

D: Your Excellency, I do not infringe on them. I have great respect for every person.

P .: I don’t know why he was so concerned about this ...

D: There were strong discussions during the presidential campaign about the LGBT movement, adoption, and same-sex marriage.

P .: I do not know why he is so preoccupied with this. Maybe because he is like that?

D: He just doesn't love me, haha.

About "discussions" with Putin

P .: You struggle a lot with the monuments of the Red Army in Poland.

D: No, a little. We had a few cases, but only a few. This is not a very big problem.

P: I heard about your confrontation with Mr. Putin.

D: We have a discussion on history with Mr. Putin. He accuses us of starting the Second World War.

P .: Yes, but you should know that Russia played a big role in the victory.

D: Yes, yes, I know this very well. But the problem is that it also occupied our country after the Second World War.

P .: This is a good reason to fight with monuments. And Ukraine, too - there have been cases in Lviv and other cities.

D: Yes, there is a difference in understanding or reading the story. The Russians say it was a friendly presence, and we call it occupation.

About Polish lands and Ukraine

P .: Do you want to return the Ukrainian regions back? There are many people who would support you.

Lviv and many others. I know that there is no stability in the country.

D: No, this is Ukraine. No no. There is no discussion in Poland. Now it is part of Ukraine and it is final. No no no! This is not a topic of political discussion. We are not talking about this. There is no political force in Poland to offer this.

P .: Ok. When I speak with Zelensky again, I will delight him.

D: We are now in very good relations with Ukraine. We support them.

P .: Is Zelensky a good guy?

D: Yes, in my opinion, yes.

"Trace" of special services

On Wednesday, a reaction from Warsaw followed. Polish media reported that the presidential palace has confirmed the authenticity of the audio recording and is now investigating the circumstances of the incident. According to RMF24, the special services check how “random people managed to contact the president” and that it was just a joke or “an action of Russian special services”.

“The Polish media generally had either a neutral reaction or a friendly one. Comments are also mostly positive. Many users are saddened by the inattention of special services that should cut off such prank calls. Some media outlets wrote about the “hand of the Kremlin and special services”. But this, apparently, is an attempt to whitewash the puncture of Duda and his office. Unfortunately, they didn’t come up with anything better. I doubt very much that the FSB is doing pranks with singer Billy Eilish or Prince Harry (I mean the previous pranks of Lexus and Vovan. - RT ), ”Vladimir Kuznetsov commented on the Polish reaction to RT.

Meanwhile, the laid out prank with Andrzej Duda at the time of publication had already gained more than 400 thousand views and became the main news in all Polish media.

The former European Council President Donald Tusk, mentioned in the conversation, also commented on the news. Duda’s suggestion that he attacks him because he simply doesn’t love him, Tusk admitted in his Twitter: “I really like you, Mr. President. Especially for your openness. "

I do like you, Mr. President. Especially for your openness.
