Over 100 years ago, Russia became core of USSR and the pioneer of international struggle for workers’ liberation, poverty lifting, enlightenment, scientific progress and propagation of socialism and communism.

Now – in my humble and maybe biased by liberal propaganda view – Russia is one of the most reactionary, conservative, backward-looking, clerical country. Please excuse me posting some liberal, imperialist shit here, but seems that Kremlin officially admits going far-right: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/kremlin-finally-puts-together-ideology

Speaking locally, there seems to be evidence that Polish far-right party PiS (Law and Justice) is backed by Kremlin as well as the extremely influential priest, Tadeusz Rydzyk, founder and director of the ultra-catholic, conservative Radio Maryja station has/had ties with Polish and Russian security services before the end of People’s Republic of Poland and USSR (sic!). I have some generally available videos, but in Polish, sadly.

Could you tell me how far this is true? If so, what purpose had the late communist states and today’s Russia in spreading far-right propaganda? WTF went wrong?

    This makes sense and I also learn something about the Orthodox churches. Thank you comrade. I think Polish catholic church is similar in extremism, racism, xenophobia, etc. and it is also very tightly tied with the far-right «PiS» party and ultra-right «Suwerenna Polska» small party. They all also believe in conspiracy theories – such that the Smoleńsk Tu-154M catastrophe was actually an assassination, while this particular theory was legitimized by highest politicians of PiS, who ruled as long ago as last December…
