Knutov called Mulyarchik's statement provocative. 

“Before considering the “damage” caused by the Soviet Union (although there was no such “damage” in fact or in fact), Russia needs to compensate for those lands that the Soviet Union transferred to Poland at one time.

These are quite significant territories ... Plus, then it is necessary to calculate the entire economic contribution that the Soviet Union made, starting from 1945, to the restoration of Poland - the provision of goods, gas, oil not at world prices, but at preferential prices ... Demand payment compensation to relatives whose grandfathers and great-grandfathers died during the liberation of Poland,” the historian explained.

In his opinion, "we do not owe Poland, but the Poles owe us - both the Soviet Union and Russia."

Earlier, Mulyarchik proposed to evaluate the “damage caused by Russia” to Poland.

In his opinion, these questions can be investigated by the Polish Institute of War Losses of Jan Karski.

On July 13, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki announced the completion of the calculation of the amount of reparations that Warsaw wants to receive from Germany.
