Sorry, but it is irrational. Polish people constantly conflate the Russian Federation with the USSR, Putin as a Tsar, or Stalin, or both. e either wants to reconstitute the Soviet Union, or rebuild the Russian Empire - or both.

In either case, IRRATIONAL.

And BTW the Poles are not alone. Russophobia is rampant in the US also, where our politicians keep referring to Russians as "The Communists" and "The Reds" and so on.

It is a disease. A deadly one at that.

And I have written an article about it:

"Russophobia and the West’s “Final Solution”"
