Poland calls expulsion of historian Glebocki from Russia a 'hostile act'
Poland considers the expulsion of historian Henryk Glebocki, scientists studying the issue of “enslavement of the Polish people” by the Soviet Union, from Russia “hostile act”, as stated by the country’s head of the defense department Antoni Macierewicz, reported Polska Agencja Prasowa.
According to Macierewicz, the deported historian was engaged in studying the crimes of the Soviet regime against the Polish people, which was the reason for the expulsion.
“This famous historian, who was specifically engaged in subjects related to the security agencies of the Soviet state, studied this system very deeply, so I think this is a hostile act against those historians ...who show the level of bondage and enslavement of the Poles to the Soviet Union. That’s how I explain it,” he said.
The Polish minister added that persons such as Glebocki, who say “what the Soviet totalitarian system really was, are undesirable.”
The FSB deported Polish historian Glebocki from Russia, threatening him with “forced deportation.” This happened after he gave several open lectures on the repression during the Stalinist period.
