“I realized that the war in us started practically with the Ukraine war, because it is another type of war-a informational one, which concerns the hearts and thinking of people.”
Ever since I read it I have been thinking about the interview with Professor Radosława (Radka) Janowska-Llass, a Romanian language translator, published by my colleague from Hotnews, Adelina Mărăcine.
There is something in the conversation of the two women, a young professional from Romania and a teacher from Poland, who surprised me and I needed more time to understand what. I think the use of pessimism struck myself, I would say, the positive part of the lack of illusions that emerges from what the teacher tells.
After 10 years of state in Romania and a life spent in Poland, after an existence started in communism and continued in democracy, Radosława Janowska-Dlascar woke up in the morning after the emergence of the 19 Russian drones and said: “Look, this is happening, under our eyes, a world is over.”
Later, she remembered how, in the films, the Ukrainian refugees appeared, pulling some suitcases and nets after them. It was in 2022, now we are in 2025. Maybe our turn came, Radosława said, to make our luggage, as her daughter urged. “Let's go where?”, The 58 -year -old woman replied.
It is not resignation, deception or anger, but only the conviction that the bad part will not end here. The skepticism based on facts is healthy and is by no means synonymous with despair. When you come to the conclusion that the risk is unexplained, you feel less loaded and, at the same time, convinced that you should protect yourself and those around you. The candor that the war does not look at you.
From the perspective of the aggressors, an advanced society does not overcome by making an even better, and Russia knows that. It is overcome by its destruction. And this has started for several years. Before sending the tanks, send the drones. And before sending drones send propaganda.
By misinformation we break us not only the connection between us, as inhabitants of the same country, but also the connection between the brain and our own lives. If we still believe that this aggression only looks at the Poles, there are great chances to come quickly enough and in the morning we will clarify. If you want to read it, the interview is here:
