Anne Applebaum is a neocon fascist and propagandist for the liberal rag The Atlantic. She is married to Polish globalist Defense Minister Radek Sikorski.
Applebaum is a senior fellow at Johns Hopkins University where she runs a program on “disinformation,” a former senior fellow at the Washington, D.C. stink tank CEPA, where she led a project on “countering Russian disinformation” in Eastern Europe, and has sat on the board of the National Endowment for Democracy, the US government-funded body that bankrolls NGOs, media, and coups abroad. In Autocracy, Inc. she lumps Russia, China, Iran, Venezuela and others into one global network of “dictators,” a worldview where anyone outside the Western camp is an enemy and every domestic critic is a potential foreign agent. It is the same logic qouls-be Polish dictator Donald Tusk used to blame his attempted coup by taking over the Constitutional Court on “Russian bots.”

During the 2016 Presidential election, on July 21, 2016 Anne Applebaum of the Washington Post wrote a “Trump presidency could destabilize Europe.” The issue, she explained, was Trump’s positive attitude toward Putin. “The extent of the Trump-Russia business connection has already been laid out, by Franklin Foer at Slate,” wrote Applebaum. She named Carter Page and his “long-standing connections to Russian companies.” Applebaum repeated the kenard that the “Trump’s campaign team helped alter the Republican party platform to remove support for Ukraine” from the Republican National Committee’s platform. Maybe, she hints, that was because of Trump aide Manafort’s ties to Ukrainian President Victor Yanukovich. The Manafort-Yanukovich relationship is an important part of the bogus Steele dossier. So is the claim that in exchange for Russia releasing the DNC emails, “the TRUMP team had agreed to sideline Russian intervention in Ukraine as a campaign issue.” For Applebaum, it was hard to understand why Trump would express skepticism about the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, except to appease Putin. She referred to a recent interview in which Trump “cast doubt on the fundamental basis of transatlantic stability, NATO’s Article 5 guarantee: If Russia invades, he said, he’d have to think first before defending U.S. allies.”[1] The talking points come directly from Hillary Clinton opposition research, FusionGPS and the Steele dossier.
Role in Polish coup

In February 2026, would-be Polish dictator Donald Tusk posted a photo of himself reading Applebaum's book, Autocracy, Inc.: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World, with the caption: “In the time of strategic uncertainty, it’s worth knowing who we’re dealing with.” Tusk was promoting a book by his own Foreign Minister’s wife, about the dangers of leaders who seize institutions by force.
Nine months later, Tusk sent riot police to take over the Polish Constitutional Court.[2]
