A researcher at Hope Not Hate, an anti-extremist Left-wing pressure group, has been accused of pushing far-Left extremism after a video emerged of him endorsing the communist Red Army, GB News can reveal.

Matthew Collins, the head of intelligence for the group, stood behind a Soviet flag at an event in London in 2013 and said: "Comrades, brothers and sisters, HopeNotHate.co.uk, you are our Red Army!"

Janusz Kowalski, a member of the Polish parliament and a former government minister, told GB News: “Praising the Red Army is the most Left-wing extremist thing to do, especially after knowing what tortures they did to people in the Siberian gulags, to Poles in Katyń killing 22 thousand of Polish officers, and during the Stalinist anti-Semitic purges.”

The Polish politician continued: “It shocks me that today anyone could praise the German Army or the Red Army, they’re two sides of the same coin.”

A Polish victim of Red Army crimes during the Second World War told GB News the Hope Not Hate researcher’s comments were “completely idiotic” and “arrogant”.
