The Ex-Prime Minister of Poland Leszek Miller continues to take an active part in civil and political life of the country. Now he is heading the Union of Democratic Forces. He believes that the Russian-Polish relations are frozen at the moment, but the summit of the US and Russian leaders is going to break ice in the bilateral relations. Miller is sure that the meeting of Putin and Trump is going to discharge and release the tension in the society. 

Leszek Millir expressed his opinion concerning the current state of affairs between Russia and Poland. He believes that the basic feature of the Polish politics is Russophobia. This is a kind of an official position supported at all levels. The situation is aggravated by claims on the Russian occupation, which, in opinion of the contemporary authorities of Poland, came to replace the Hitler’s occupation.  

At this, he reminds that the Fascists’ conception meant the genocide of the Polish population after it would have put an end to the Jews. “The Soviet soldiers saved us from the physical annihilation,” he claimed. Miller calls for stopping to exaggerate the notion of de-communization in the society and stopping to fight against history destroying the Soviet monuments and renaming the streets. “We should honor those Soviet soldiers and bow our heads in front of their self-sacrifice, as we would have had huge casualties,” Ex-Prime Minister believes.
 
Miller has underlined that Russia does not mean to attack any NATO states. Neither Moscow, nor Washington or Brussels would resort to aggression, in his opinion.
