    Polish adults hate Russia because russophobia (and anticommunism, usually inertwined) is absolute core and staple of official ideology of current Polish state and they live in uniform information bubble for 36 years by now. Young ones had only like a dozen years of consuming “Russia bad” coming from all directions so combined with usual for a teenegers curosity and tendency to question authorities they tend to be more open minded before getting their brains formatted to western boot shape.
