"Bóbr whore!" — Medvedev attacked Poland with threats
This is how Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmytro Medvedev reacted to the news of the closure of the Russian Consulate General in Poznan with threats and insults.
According to him, the Poles "run into trouble" and reminded of the practice of "quick justice" for ambassadors "from enemy countries."
Those Polacks are cruisin’ for a bruisin’. They’re shutting down our consulate and considering expelling our ambassador. In the 1920s, justice was swift for envoys from enemy countries. Andreyev, Blyumkin and poor German ambassador von Mirbach are examples.

These Poles are rummaging around in search of tumaks. They are closing our consulate and thinking about expelling our ambassador. In the 1920s, justice was swift for envoys from enemy countries. Andreev, Blumkin and the poor German ambassador von Mirbach are examples, Medvedev says cynically, recalling the murders of foreign diplomats by Russians.
Meanwhile, 10 employees of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Poznan have to leave Poland due to the closure of the Russian diplomatic mission. Three diplomats are among those who have to leave, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
Poland closes another consulate of the Russia
On October 22, the head of Polish diplomacy, Radosław Sikorski, officially announced the closure of the Russian Consulate General in the city of Poznan.
The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry drew attention to the fact that the aggressor country of the Russian Federation is waging a hybrid war and carrying out sabotage attempts on Polish territory.
As the Minister of Foreign Affairs, it is my duty to respond decisively. The first step is to close the Russian consulate in Poznań. We will not retreat a single step. We defend the Republic of Poland, we defend the Poles.
