This is the best summary I could come up with:
MOSCOW, Nov 2 (Reuters) - A top ally of President Vladimir Putin warned Poland on Thursday that the NATO member state was now considered a "dangerous enemy" by Russia and could end up losing its statehood if it continued on its current course.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, made the comments in an 8,000-word article on Russian-Polish relations, saying Moscow now had a "dangerous enemy" in Poland.
"History has more than once delivered a merciless verdict to the presumptuous Poles: no matter how ambitious the revanchist plans may be, their collapse could lead to the death of Polish statehood in its entirety."
Poland, which has backed Ukraine, accuses Russia of trying to destabilise the country with disinformation campaigns and espionage.
Moscow has condemned what it sees as Warsaw's hostile stance towards it and Russian interests in Poland.
Diplomats say his views give an indication of thinking at the top levels of the Kremlin elite.
