What is really interesting for me is that someone in the states take care about it
Boroda, as most if not every country that have a border were fighting by the ages. I'm not a history master but as i remember we could date "our" fights as a more then 1000y old (or longer).
Once we are inviders then you were. That's the way it been by ages.
It's not bad and it's not good. I'd say it's normal in a relations between the nations in europe. That's true we've saved the Vienna as it's true We've invaded Kiev.
Thing are more complicated when we think about the Lwow. We claim it as a Polish city and it's currently not ( i believe it stays that way with some good share of poles living there... about 40%? I'd never start a fight for it and i believe it's good like it is now). This is because the land was yours/ours/outs/ours and so on...
As for the "red hordes" actually your army was a red one (not a expert in a Russian history again, but Red army destroyed the White russian army... killed the "white elite"?). At that time we were more white then red for sure. Looking for that perspective "red horde" is offending, but "red army" is true.
Your attack on our lands at 17.09.1939 is a fact. Also a fact is that after the was you (and by you i mean you as a country not as a people) was not welcome here, but you ruled us. Russians 've killed many of our officers duriong and after the war.
Then i have to mentin the Polas murdered a lot of Russions when had the chance. I never forgot about it... in both cases it's just how things looked here. Right or wrong it just been that way.
I'm not that old but i do remember being insuling and calling a lier because of saying that Russia attacked Poland in '39 when i was in a primary school (Happened that my grandpa was a soldier and were fighting on our eastern borded, then prisonec 40km from Russia). Was it shameless rewriting a history? Of course. That is what Russia did and called the attack a "brotherhood help".
We (Poland and Russia) are same fair here.
Also i do like Russians as a people (know 20+ guys about my age). They are not guilty about the history as i am not about what we did
We just living on the same part of the world and have our history.
