Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, made the comments in an 8,000-word article on Russian-Polish relations, saying Moscow now had a “dangerous enemy” in Poland.
Poland, which has backed Ukraine, accuses Russia of trying to destabilise the country with disinformation campaigns and espionage. Moscow has condemned what it sees as Warsaw’s hostile stance towards it and Russian interests in Poland.
There was no immediate response to Medvedev’s comments from Poland.
Exactly, he was always just another evil shit.
Sure, he’s still a Russian politician so some level of “evil” is to be expected, but would you seriously claim he was exactly as unhinged when he was president? Because if you would, either you weren’t paying attention then or you’re not paying attention now – something’s definitely changed, and it’s not like I’m the only person who’s noticed.
The Guardian brought it up a year ago, and eg. the Harvard Kennedy School’s Russia Matters project even has a list outlining how cramatically his views have changed
No, no, he never seemed unhinged, but since I live in a places that’s somewhat similar I know you just can’t treat regime men as men. He doesn’t have anything without daddy so he says what daddy says, we could say he’s just another mouthpiece
