Putin, you see, did not shake the British ambassador’s hand in the Kremlin, did not speak to him, and generally refused to come closer than 70 feet, citing health reasons. 😂

      Religion role is also not to be unerestimated. Catholic church in Poland is most consistently reactionary institution here, and while they weren’t even that russophobic originally (they supported the partitions and “God protect the Tsar” was sung in every church), after communism won in Russia, they got rabies. Interestingly enough, they are very moderate in the case of Ukraine war, they see there is nothing to gain here.
