These conspiracy theories are an aberration and an insult to the memory of the crash victims, including the late President himself. As a Pole who is at least somewhat aware of the politics and economics of Poland, and a journalist who follows world politics and news developments daily, I am severely disappointed at the number of people that are flocking to these conspiracy theories, and academics and professionals who propagate such ideas should themselves feel ashamed. Firstly, there is absolutely no proof that there was any sabotage or subterfuge by either the Russians or the Prime Minister's political allies. Such accusations, then, without presenting any credible evidence, are slanderous.
