By the way, here’s a collage of videos that YouTube is showing me today from Ukrainian media I follow. Because many of them I’ve followed for a long time, I cannot but notice a rapid change in their attitude that happened over the last 1-2 weeks, when the same media published a lot of videos on that topic but with more balanced and conciliatory titles. Which makes me suspect that there were some grants from Presidential Administration to escalate the situation even further, because these vicious clickbaits are entirely different in tone from what I saw weeks ago. Here’s a sample for those who can’t read Ukrainian:

• “Ukraine is playing in higher league, Poland is nowhere near”
• “Fear of competition, the roots of Polish shauvinism”
• “Polish Ukrainophobia as 1930’s antisemitism”
• “The final solution to the Ukrainian question”
• “Shock!? Hunt for Ukrainians starts in Poland”
• “Poland raised a new ultimatum to Ukraine!”

I’m sorry to say, but it’s 1:1 mirror of Russian media headlines about Ukraine in 2014…

P.S. ironically, the one in Polish that got in the middle is quite emphatic “Kharkiv - chronicle of survival” documentary from Poland’s OSW, describing genocidal attacks by Russia on Kharkiv
