In Poland an NGO has been founded which will work to identify and counteract Russian Propaganda, “The Center for Analysis of Propaganda and Disinformation”, reported Ukrinform with reference to a statement by Adam Lelonek, director of the Center for Analysis of Propaganda and Disinformation.

“The ‘Center for Analysis of Propaganda and Disinformation’ Foundation is the first institute of this kind in Poland, whose activity will be aimed at the analysis and search for a systematic approach to identifying and counteracting Russian disinformation in Polish information space,” Lelonek stated.

According to him, aside from scientific research and analytical work, the foundation will collaborate with other entities in order to create a base of understanding of the threats in Polish society, because information and psychological warfare penetrate various spheres of society and the state’s functioning.

“We would like to become one of the foundations of the new system to protect Polish information space from Russian influence. We understand the nature of the hostile actions from Russia towards Poland and its allies, but in spite of this, a long time has passed, and until now Poland has not had even one institute which would counteract Russian propaganda on various levels,” the director stated.

According to him, the center will collaborate with various organizations which wish to do so, but it will remain nongovernmental and apolitical.
