Georgian expert: Russia uses Poland's deep polarisation as a disinformation testing ground

Georgian researcher Givi Gigitashvili, who monitors Polish-language online activity, says Russia does not need to invent new disinformation topics in Poland — it simply exploits existing fault lines such as Ukrainians in Poland, the Volhynia massacre, the Belarus border crisis, immigration and domestic politics. Poland's deep political polarisation makes it especially vulnerable to influence operations. He describes Poland as a testing ground for Russian disinformation tactics.
