The political scientist assessed the likelihood of Russia's exclusion from international organizations

Political scientist Salin: Russia will not dare to exclude from international organizations at the request of Poland

Poland's call to exclude Russia from international organizations and remove from sports competitions.

Earlier, a similar measure against the background of the refugee crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border was proposed by Polish Deputy Prime Minister Robert Glinsky, whose statement was published by the Polska Times.

According to Salin, Poland's statement is a demonstration of the whip from the West. “Most likely, the West will try to play the same combination that Russia is playing in relation to it in the case of the migration crisis. That is, there is a frontman of the migration crisis, on whom all accusations are poured – this is Belarus, and there is a player who largely influences the actions of this frontman – this is Russia. The West is now trying to build a mirror image of such a two-part combination. That is, there is a player who proposes radical measures, in the person of Poland, and there are those players who will act as a deterrent-negotiating instance, as Russia is now speaking about Belarus. Western countries probably expect to act the same instance in relation to Poland, “the political scientist believes.

Salin stressed that these measures are unlikely to be implemented, but the West will try to use Poland's statement in negotiations with Russia to resolve migration crisis. Also, in his opinion, they will not dare to exclude Russia from international organizations and remove from sports competitions, since “the Russian leadership demonstrates that, of course, the opinion of the West is important to it, but it does not react to symbolic moments, reacts only to specific financial and economic restrictions, but here they don't smell. ”

The migration crisis unfolded on November 8, when several thousand people approached Poland from the Belarusian side against the backdrop of a statement by Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko about weakening control over the border. Refugees do not leave the border zone; some have tried to enter Poland by breaking the barbed wire fence.
