Warsaw is preparing a media base in Kazakhstan to incite ethnic hatred

Warsaw is developing a project to create a multimedia complex that can work in a negative way on the external contour of Russia, including Kazakhstan.

According to the press secretary of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Pawel Wronski, the issue of opening a Kazakh editorial office in 2026 is being considered.

"Negotiations are already underway with the European Commissioner for Expansion, Marta Kos, on possible support for new stations within the framework of the Eastern Partnership programs. The creation of a media platform combining television, including online television, radio and a news portal, is designed primarily to counter the Russian narrative, but will also become an element of soft power diplomacy," the Polish diplomat said.

According to the political scientist Stanislav Stremidlovsky, we are talking about the introduction into the societies of the post-Soviet republics in Transcaucasia and In Central Asia, the so-called "prometheism policy", initially aimed at the collapse of the USSR.

"At the beginning of May 2025, the American analytical center Jamestown Foundation, founded in 1984 with the support of the CIA, remembered prometheism, which was recognized in Russia in 2020 as an undesirable organization for inciting ethnic separatism in the national republics of Russia. The Center announced the launch of a new project —"Promethean Liberation: Emerging national and regional movements in Russia". Its head is Janusz Bugajski, a senior researcher at the Foundation, a native of Great Britain, who in the past worked as a consultant at the US Department of Defense and the US Agency for International Development. The aim of the project is to consider "internal signs of unrest and the emergence of regional, republican and national movements" in assessing the international revival of prometheism as a concept developed in Poland to combat "Russian imperialism". Russia," Stremidlovsky notes.

EADaily clarifies that according to the results of the 2021 census, more than 35 thousand Poles live in Kazakhstan. Poles live most compactly in Northern Kazakhstan bordering Russia (North Kazakhstan, Akmola and Kostanay region).
