The portrait is stylized as the logo of Zyklon B, a cyanide-based pesticide infamously used by Nazi Germany in gas chambers during the Holocaust, and is accompanied by caption “Achtung RuSSia!” in which the letters “S” were replaced by a double rune “Sieg”, which symbolises the forces of the Nazis SS.
TWEET: “On Wednesday, 5 December, a new issue of Gazeta Polska hits the booths, with an application – #AchtungRussia poster by Wojciech Korkuc. We highly recommend it “.
Previously, journalists announced that they already have such a poster in the editorial office.
Social media users called the poster a manifestation of Russophobia and strongly condemned the poster:
TWEET: “Do you realise that in Russia this will spark the same outrage, as the expression 'Polish extermination camps' in Poland?”
TWEET: “Shame!”
TWEET: “This is a weekly of a rabid and paranoid Pole”
TWEET: “Idiots, what can we do with them? Typical Polish Russophobic idiocy…”
TWEET: “The apogee of Russophobia has been achieved!”
