Nikita Khrushchev once promised Soviet citizens to build communism in the country by 1980.

But the top leadership of Poland is now in the grip of a smaller, more selfish, but just as "realistic" illusion.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Arkadiusz Mulyarchik on the air of the local radio station RMF FM: “We have not received any reparations or compensation to our citizens ... I believe that receiving reparations from Germany is a matter of several years.”

For those who are not in the know, the Polish authorities recently demanded that official Berlin pay approximately $1.6 trillion in reparations for damages from World War II.

And now the Polish citizens are officially (or almost officially) promised: be patient, good people, just a few years!

And our German partners will definitely pay everything!

If only one Polish deputy minister made such fantasy forecasts, then one could assume that this official is masterfully fooling the authorities, passing off wishful thinking.

But no, this version does not roll.

Wishful thinking is given out by the entire Polish political leadership, headed by the shadow leader of this country, Yaroslav Kaczynski.

Kaczynski during a meeting with the citizens of his country in the vicinity of Warsaw last September: "The issue of reparations from Germany is a complicated matter, but quite real."

“Quite real” is not the only one on the list of future tasks of Yaroslav Kaczynski.

As the most important Polish boss hinted at the same event, having received compensation from Berlin for damage from World War II, he is not averse to immediately rolling out a new bill to the Germans - for damage from World War I.

Why is this situation interesting from the Russian point of view?

The fact that it vividly and convexly shows how the Polish leadership thinks and how adequately it evaluates itself, its capabilities and the world around it.

You can, for example, declare as much as you like: it will take only a few years - and our cats will speak the human language (given the well-known predilection of Yaroslav Kaczynski for cats, this topic is definitely especially important and relevant for Poland).

But does it follow from this that after a certain number of years, cats will actually learn to talk?

If you are guided by common sense, then the only possible answer to this question looks like this: of course not!

But if we proceed from the logic of the Warsaw authorities, then this “only possible option” will look completely different: of course, yes!

Why, one asks

Yes?

Because we want it!

And if we want it, then it is quite possible!

It is clear that Germany will never pay the reparations that Kaczynski demands of her.

Berlin has no reason to do this.

And Warsaw has no leverage capable of forcing the Germans to change this position.

Such is the reality.

But Kaczynski refuses to acknowledge this reality and replaces it with his fantasies.

Another extremely interesting aspect of the situation.

What are the main reasons for the successes of the Polish economy in recent decades?

The answer is known to every competent expert: with German money.

Guided, of course, by its own interests, Germany de facto financed the pulling up of the Polish national economy to a modern level.

In theory, Warsaw should be very grateful to Berlin for this fact.

But, as we see, this theory does not coincide with practice at all.

Such a position does not just smack of political infantilism.

Political infantilism is its main basis.

And, frankly, it's pretty scary.

Poland as a country can by no means be called an operetta kingdom like Ruritania from the novel “The Prisoner of Zenda” by the British writer Anthony Hope that thundered at the end of the 19th century.

Poland is a fairly serious state with fairly large-scale economic, political and military capabilities.

But this “quite a serious state” is controlled by quite operetta characters.

Let us return, for example, to the figure of Yaroslav Kaczynski.

The politician himself is known to have no children, has never been married, and has never even been in a relationship.

But do you know who, from his point of view, is to blame for the poor birth rate in Poland?

Young Polish women, who, in his deep conviction, are behaving immorally: “If the situation continues that 25-year-old girls, young women drink as much as their male peers,

I will not hide an important detail: for this particular statement, Kaczynski got a lot from his own.

The Parliamentary Commission on Ethics reprimanded him.

But this reprimand is an isolated episode, an exception that only confirms the rule.

Yaroslav Kachinsky inadequately evaluates not only his compatriots.

He inadequately evaluates almost everything else (I still don’t dare to write “everything else” without “almost” - what if there is something in the world that even Kaczynski adequately evaluates?).

But the citizens of Poland see their leader's political blindness only when he insults their women.

On this, perhaps, we can put an end to it.

Everything you need to know about Polish politics, we already know.
