I'd agree that Russia's use of various platforms is to be straightforward and honest, but insofar as Russia even being involved in the InfoWars, I have argued that it isn't even in the fight and has lost badly to the USA and the combined West.
Absolutely, and it's a blow-out too. Even worse, Russia undermined itself and predetermined the outcome before the latest infowar even started by mistakenly believing that promoting literal lies about its policies through "Potemkinism" was better than articulating the (sometimes tough or even at times boring) truth about its policies.
Poland is sandwiched in between Germany w ho hates them and Russia who looks upon them as fellow SLAVS. Who saved Poland from German enslavedment then Russia who defeated the Germans. Poland best for you to look upon Russia as an alley and savior.
"....No average Pole, even those that want Poland and Russia to better manage the recent revival of their millennium-long rivalry, is “pro-Russian” in the sense that he’s implying since their motivation is to help Poland and not Russia....."
Whilst the media, local and international continue to emphasise misinformation on such statements there will be no diminution of tensions between the 2 nations.
Much of polish politics consists of trying to smear one's opponents as pro-russian. Not so long ago, it was accusing one's opponents of being crypto Jews.
There are biologically very few Crypto-Jews left in Poland. Thinking there are crypto-Jews hiding in this or that cellar is a bit like thinking that Western-European policies are formulated by some ignomious Freemasons. There was the Holocaust, that eliminated 95% of Polish Jews, with most survivors anyway made to leave Poland. Then, there were pogroms after 1945, like in Kielce 1946, and what remained - most left in 1968, after another almost-pogrom. The main point of attack is that the foreign minister is married to Anne Applebaum. Funnily enough, public relations between Israel and Poland are bad, despite foreign minister's acquired family.

That didn't and doesn't stop many poles from wasting inordinate energy seeking non-existent Jews, Jewish influence, etc..
