My Polacy w tym ciężkim dla naszego kraju dniu dziękujemy wszystkim Rosjanom, którzy w chwili tak wielkiej tragedii dla naszego narodu złączyli się z nami w smutku i żałobie, dziękujemy także tym z pośród was, którzy pomagają rodziną poległych, które przybyły i przybywają do Rosji oraz dziękujemy wszystkim służbą Federacji Rosyjskiej zaangażowanym w akcje ratowniczą. Szczególne podziękowania chciałbym złożyć w imieniu Polaków: Prezydentowi Rosji Dmitrijewowi Miedwiediewowi i premierowi Władimirowi Putinowi za słowa wsparcia. Niech ta lekcja, jaką była katastrofa polskiego Tu-154 M z prezydentem RP Lechem Kaczyńskim i pozostałymi 95 ofiarami śmiertelnymi, jakie znajdowały się na pokładzie samolotu stanie się nowym otwarciem między naszymi narodami. Niech ta tragedia nas połączy. Jesteśmy tacy sami bracia Rosjanie. Tak samo się cieszymy, ale i tak samo cierpimy, nic nas nie różni a dzieliła nas dotąd tylko czasem historia. Dla tego, w obliczu tej wielkiej tragedii czas zapomnieć bracia Rosjanie o krzywdach, jakich doznaliście z polskiej strony w XVII w. Wybaczcie nam (naszym przodkom), proszę o to z całego serca. Czas abyśmy i my Polacy wybaczyli wam (waszym przodkom): czasy rosyjskich zaborów, 17 wrzesień 1939 r. czy Katyń (1940 r.) itp. Musimy sobie wzajemnie przebaczyć to, co złe i niech nas już nic nie dzieli bracia słowianie.... A będzie to wielką nauką, jaką wspólnie wyciągniemy z tej tragedii i jedynym jej pozytywnym skutkiem… Nie przegapmy tej epokowej chwili aby się prawdziwie pojednać !!! Łukasz from Poland

I believe Poles are not antyrussian and one of a few factors that enables some of Russian citizens to think so is Mr Dmitri Babich's statements in RT television. And I must say I was pretty much afraid when I watched one of them yesterday. And I want to put emphisize on it! Don't listen to him, please.
