A conversation between Vitaliy Dribnytsia and a pro-Russian subscriber: from the antisemitic tropes of interwar nationalist propaganda (“Judeo-Bolshevism”) to the diplomacy of World War II — the 1941 Mayski–Sikorski agreement that de facto annulled the 1939 Soviet-German partition of Poland, and the 1943 rupture of Soviet-Polish relations over the Katyn question.
