Jessikka ARO Putin's World War
New book on Russian global war and Polish president's death 10th April 2010.
Last week in Helsinki, a book premiere was held for a new work written by Jessikka Aro, one of the most well-known authors who has been monitoring Russian influence in Europe for years. The book titled “Putin’s World War”
describes how the Russian Federation conducts its aggressive actions against the West. Among the many topics it addresses, it highlights the Smolensk issue:
The publication of the book, which has not yet been translated into either English nor Polish caused an immediate attack from the same circles and people who have spent the last 14 years trying not to learn the truth about April 10, 2010. Pro Russian journalists from Polish outlets Gazeta Wyborcza and Newsweek attacked the author through Finnish media:
Among those speaking in the Finnish media was Gazeta Wyborcza's Bartosz Wieliński, who criticized Jessikka Aro
simply for talking about and mentioning the findings of people who question and have questioned the official Russian version of events and Gazeta Wyborcza's conviction that Russians were right in this matter, not those who questioned their findings.

It is worth sharing, even before the book appears on the Polish market, how someone who has been monitoring the Russian Federation's aggressive actions against the cultural community of the West for years views the monument that arouses disputes in Poland and is essentially unnecessary and humiliating. The Smolensk tragedy monument:
"I went alone to Piłsudski Square in the center of Warsaw. I wanted to visit the Smolensk monument. I looked at the monument set at the edge of the square. Massive airplane stairs made of black granite. At airports, passengers board planes via such stairs. These lead nowhere.
I looked from a different perspective. The design mimics the shape of an airplane's vertical stabilizer. But the monument also symbolizes a catafalque.
The platform on which a coffin rests in a church.
I observed a moment of silence. As often with this book, I felt a sting under my eyelids. I approached the monument. On the side of the granite, the names of the 96 victims of the Smolensk air disaster are engraved.”
This is a book I want to see translated to English. An additional comment regarding Michal's exploration of the phenomenon of the Russian's actually supporting both sides of divisive issues and campaigns in western societies and nations. That would explain a lot of what's happening in my country, Canada. Also, this very plausible theory would explain much of the state of U.S. politics since before Barrack Obama's time in office and probably previous to that. We have elements of both sides in the current U.S. presidential election campaign each accusing the other of the undue influence of Vladimir Putin in their respective political platforms and decisions. It seems possible, maybe even likely, that both sides are correct in their criticism. In effect, the Russians may be responsible for creating a situation in U.S. politics that looks a lot like having a rabid dog chase its own tail, circling around madly to the point of exhaustion. Here in Canada we have a socialist cabal running the country and overseeing the destruction of Canada's economy, culture, and social fabric. Meanwhile, the Conservative and opposition leader, Pierre Poilièvre, is afraid to speak to the obvious and biggest threat to the Canadian nation, the massive overflow caused by too much legal and illegal immigration, mostly of people who are not of the majority race or religion of the country and whose customs and cultural sensibilities are vastly different and, at times, diametrically opposed to the views of the majority of Canadian citizens. Putin and the FSB's espionage apparatus playing both sides against one another would go a long way towards explaining the destructive malaise that infects most western democratic(?) nations and societies today.
