At first, let me say it again - nothing against the Russians as a people/nation nowdays
Now the facts, my grandba was an officer of Polish Army in 1939. Once Germans (Nazi, but still Germans) attacked, he stationed on our eastern border and wes kept there, because "we" suspected that Soviets could attack... and it happened. He fought with the Soviets (if you want to i could post the battles he fought in and so on, but that's not the point i think) by days and finally he was captured. He someways managed to prove that he's not an officer, because the officers on the Polish Army, Policemen or highly edycated people were executed at once at the place where he were captured.
Then we was took to the kind of a concentration camp 40km from moscow and spent the whole winter there, with his "summer uniform"... a lot of his companion died there from hunger and cold... but he managed to survive somehow.
Then because of the agreement with Germans he was send to the Germany and worked there on a farm with British and French prisoners. On a sied note i have to tell you that he said that he was treated really good over there. After some years he escaped and returned to Poland
Point is that soviets INVIDED Poland and we never wanted them on our land. Same with the 1944/45. Funny thing is that while Putin been in Poland a while back, he said that Soviet Army made my country free - now that's a bull*****... i think i don't have to explain it
With all respect to the Sovier Army soldiers who died here fighting with the Germans, they died not to made us free but to concuer our land, so...
Other things are Gulags, not so different from the Nazi concentration Camps... i hope i won't hear that it's a part of making my country free?
That's the history and it will be painfull as long as it will not be put in all "history" books here and there.
As boroda said once - sure, but you also invided us many times durung the centuries.
Sure Boroda - it also have to be in our hisroty books (and i believe it is.. at least they teached my this in my school.
No need to say that our Allies sold us during and after the WW2 right?
also something to put in the books.
Anyway, if we leave the history and politicians on a side - Russia is not evil at all... or as evil as any other countries
