If Ukraine is any indication, there seems to be a serious push to associate USSR with Russia specifically - Soviet Ukraine is treated as being occupied and essentialy collaborationist. With that in mind, I am not sure Duda or any of his draw any distinction between treating communists as non-human (which is fucked up by itself) and treating Russians as non-human (gee, where’d we heard that one before).
In Poland it is even greater, here communist = russian. Being communist is basically the same as being russian spy - which is incredibly annoying to say the least. Ofc it is intertwined with the stories of soviet=russian “empire” and with supposedly rampant racism, oppresion of minorities and antisemitism in USSR.
Seriously just a Land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie.
