THE RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND NATIONAL SECURITY IN POLAND AND RUSSIA – COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to attempt to discover the relationship between the right to freedom of speech and national security, using a comparative analysis. For this purpose, reference was made to the comparison of the legal system of the Republic of Poland with the law of the Russian Federation. The legal issues of freedom of speech in Poland were examined, and then the legal system of the Russian Federation was analyzed, in which both national acts, such as the constitution and legal regulations regarding the operation of the media and freedom of expression, do not differ significantly from those found in other democratic countries. In addition, the Russian Federation is a signatory to most supranational agreements, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. However, the problem lies in the actual application and enforcement of these rights and freedoms in practice.The conclusions drawn from this analysis are unequivocal. As long as there are no alternative credible information distribution channels, the existing political system in the Russian Federation will certainly be maintained, because the lack of an alternative perpetuates the monopolization of the media market. However, tightening the information transfer to government propaganda, limiting freedom of speech, will not be conducive to the internal stability of this country in the long run.
