It’s actually impressive to me how the West and its satellites are able to so impressively compartmentalize their propagandistic narratives in the service of war and imperialism, even digging up shit like this when “hindsight” is supposed to be a thing. It’s not like this ended in any case. They will support Chechen freedom fighters against RuZZian orcs one day while also emphasizing Israel as a bulwark against radical Islamic hordes the next.
Their family history was most likely heavily sanitized after 1989. Everyone up to three generations back are supposedly genetic patriots who fought against ebil Soviet menace. Of course nobody like to mention about his uncle who was MBP soldier fighting against fascist forest bandits after WW2, but he’s been sanitized too, just as his two other uncles being officers of Polish People’s Army, or his parents who were allegedly chummy with socialist security service and mysteriously got rich in 1989.
Just typical story of 3RP professional politician.
