Michal Kleiber (right) computer scientist and advisor to Lech Kaczynski, says that the president’s public image was very different from how he was as a private person.

Kleiber, in a glowing tribute to the late president that he has given to the External Service of Polish Radio, said that Lech Kaczynski’s knowledge of the history of parliament and the history of Europe, for instance, was “unmatched”.

“Listening to his public lecturers I got the impression that he was not in the right place. He should have been a university history lecturer.”

“His attitude to many things was not really appreciated by the public and Polish media.”

Michal Kleiber is a member of Polish Academy of Sciences and expert in application of modern computer technologies in scientific research, technology and medicine. He is also involved with development-oriented state policy, in particular the strategy of development of education, science and innovation. (pg)
