Opposition to President Andrzej Duda, criticism of the previous government’s economic moves, highlighting high prices, and promoting the vulgar slogan “F*** PiS”—this description fits the activities of Civic Platform (PO). However, it also precisely aligns with the actions of the Russian “Liberation Party,” whose operations in Poland involved saboteurs working for GRU, convicted of espionage.
We expand on this shocking matter first reported by Professor Sławomir Cenckiewicz in Wednesday’s “Gazeta Polska.”
Russian Intelligence Sabotage
By covering Poland with thousands of slogans “F*** PiS,” Russian operatives actively contributed to propagating the slogan aimed at inflaming public sentiments to ultimately remove the United Right (Zjednoczona Prawica) from power. According to ABW (Internal Security Agency – ed.) documents analyzed by Sławomir Cenckiewicz in “Gazeta Polska,” Russia clearly favored such a change, explicitly indicating its preferred election candidate through its involvement against President Duda and the right-wing government.
The article detailed how Russia, through GRU, conducted a hybrid war against Poland, aiming to weaken the United Right government.
A crucial element was a 16-member sabotage group dismantled by ABW in 2023 and convicted for espionage in 2024.
Agents recruited through Telegram and Facebook under job listings (e.g., “Work in Warsaw”) installed cameras along railway lines transporting aid to Ukraine, gathered intelligence on critical infrastructure like Jasionka Airport and ports in Gdańsk and Gdynia, and engaged in propaganda activities.
Operatives like Maksym Leha and Artem Averb painted slogans such as “F*** PiS” and “Stop Duda,” distributed leaflets, and planned terror acts, including sabotaging trains. Funding was provided through cryptocurrency, with operations documented by photos and videos.
“Your job is to write one of these phrases in Polish cities: STOP Duda, Duda go to hell, F*** PiS, JBC PiS,” instructed the group’s leader, offering around 7–8 USD per graffiti. Documents show individuals painted from several dozen up to 30 graffiti nightly, predominantly in major cities—Warsaw, Kraków, Poznań, Katowice, and Rzeszów.
Plans also included projecting propaganda slogans onto building facades, targeting institutions like Belsat’s office on Woronicza Street, the Belarusian House, the Palace of Culture, the Warsaw Uprising Museum, and the TVP headquarters at Plac Powstańców in Warsaw.
Liberation Party – ABW Analysis
These actions correlated with the Russian “Liberation Party of Poland” activities, highlighted by ABW in investigative files analyzed.
“Individuals detained during the investigation engaged in actions (e.g., graffiti, distribution of anti-NATO, anti-Ukrainian leaflets, photographing party logos, and spreading information about the Liberation Party) consistent with campaigns recognized by the Counterintelligence Department as conducted by Russian special services to incite social unrest,” ABW stated.
The Liberation Party aimed, according to investigation records, to “defeat fascism existing in Poland and beyond.”
The party issued an “ultimatum to Duda’s regime,” calling for “the destruction of Duda’s fascist government.” Party manifestos included statements like:
“The Polish nation is forced to deal with consequences of President Duda’s actions, who supports fascists and Nazis like Bandera and Shukhevych,” “Duda’s regime prepares you for fratricidal war beneficial only to a small group of villains in Washington,” “We, the People’s Resistance of the Liberation Party, intend guerrilla actions, equipped with all necessary means to suppress Duda’s Nazi regime,” “Duda’s government does everything to drag Poland into a war with Russia,” “It’s time to say STOP to Duda and his pro-American government,” and “Duda’s pro-American government tries to appease America, ignoring Polish interests.”
ABW identified numerous sabotage targets, including a residential building near the former headquarters of TVP Republika on Dzielna Street.
The Russian party also criticized the previous government’s economic policies, warning against VAT, excise, food, and fuel price increases, claiming these measures “would hit Poles’ pockets hard.” Party manifestos threatened “accountability.”
Who Was Behind This?
The Liberation Party of Poland was founded by Eduard Alexandrovich Razo (born 1974). Since 2020, Russian citizen Maria Jasińska (born 1986) led the party for several years.
Razo is a Moscow-based scriptwriter, director, poet, playwright, and politician, founder of the Russian Poets’ Union. According to ABW analyses, he reportedly has ties with influential Russian politicians and officials. His writings and political manifestos were published on the popular Russian platform VKontakte.
Maria Jasińska, raised in Siberia in “a family of noble descent,” graduated in accounting from Moscow State University and was awarded the Anna Akhmatova Medal by the Russian Writers’ Union. In 2020, she met Eduard Razo, who invited her to lead the Liberation Party.
Party Activities and Impact
ABW analyses noted the party’s relatively active social media presence, posting manifestos against President Andrzej Duda and government policies, with multilingual content (Polish, Russian, English) available until 2022.
According to ABW, Jasińska’s online activities drew attention from prominent Kremlin propagandists, including coverage by the site Novosti 60minut. Her statements were cited by other Russian media platforms, with approximately 1,000 subscribers following the party’s content across Poland, Russia, and EU territories.
