      Poles, like Germans, like sauerkraut not because of its taste but rather because of the need to get used to it, as it has always been a cheap source of vitamin C during the cold winter months.
      Yes, Wałęsa is a former agent recruited by the communist services. There is not the slightest doubt about this at present. This is documented in the archives of the Institute of National Remembrance.
      In the initial period, the EU was a real engine and catalyst for the progress and modernization of post-Soviet Poland. It was to be a confederation of sovereign nation states, the main principle of which was the free movement of goods and people without Brussels' interference in the internal politics of member states. For some time, however, the Brussels authorities (appointed, not elected) have adopted a sharp course in creating a federal state in which the member states are systematically deprived of their sovereignty. We Poles already went through this when we were under Soviet occupation. This is where the problem begins. We don't want to go through this again. It's better to be a hungry wolf in the wild than a fat dog strapped to a kennel.
      Rob, even though we have different worldviews on some issues, I really like your videos. Your intelligence and mental acuity, as well as your objectivity and drive to expand your knowledge, are impressive. Congratulations, I wish you good luck, perseverance and satisfaction with the fruits of your work. Regards, Pole from Sydney.

    About Storks: In Polish traditions Storks brings Happines when they nest near your house. Before Storks were natural deterennt for mouse rats insects snakes lizards etc. They are nesting in poland because nobody hunts them and they have plenty food on fields. Storks are second after White eagle most Polish bird because are in Polish colour all white with red nose :P

  • @xantrospl
    @xantrospl 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +38

    I guess that storks find Poland a nice country to live during summer due to the fact there are numerous tall trees and various poles, where they prepare their nests, especially in rural areas. And people do not destroy their nests so that storks often come back to the same place, because their old nests are still there.

    • @spavatch
      @spavatch 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      Yeah, it is traditionally considered a sign of good luck if the storks choose your roof or chimney to build their nest on. I have never heard of anyone harming or expelling storks in Poland, in fact people put old cartwheels or special platforms on telephone poles or disused chimneys to make it easier for them to settle. That is probably why for hundreds of years they felt safe here and they keep coming back.

    Yes, Wigilia is an extremely special time on many levels. Naturally for the religious reasons, but.. It's pretty much an absolute must in all households, even within atheist setting. The other element of Wigilia is family. All close family sits at the table that night. YOU JUST CAN"T BE ABSENT. Somehow, sometimes each person has their usual place. Reflective emotions can take charge especially when from one year to another that chair is empty due to someone's passing. This topic can be a huge one just on its own. Deep, very deep tradition.

      What's more polish emigrants usually come back home from abroad for this special day to visit their parents and spend this evening together. It is a must to be at your parents house (or sometimes at your grandparents - depending on where the family reunion happens) , very often it turns out that you have to have 2 wigilias in one evening - 1 at your parents a 2 at your husbands parents! There is a tradition of sharing a wafer (symbolic bread you get in church during communion) with your folks while wishing them health and happiness.

    There are 2 types of bigos: pure sour one, and much more mellow one. More sour one is typically made for Christmas fasting and contains no meat (at least in my family). The "proper" mellow one being made with a mix of sour cabbage and raw cabbage, with a lot of spices, different cuts of meat, fat (from cooking other traditional meats for Christmas), and cooked throughout a few days. We use to say that bigos gets better with each reheating, but in reality it still has its limits before it goes bad (despite it having a very long "shelf life").

      this custom was withdrawn by the Catholic Church and there is no restriction for Catholics on having party or eating meat during this time. This is Greek and Orthodox Churches tradition. "Andrzejki" are not of Christian origin (as vast majority of the Catholic holidays actually), however it is a popular opinion that it comes from St Andrew the Apostle. Custom accepted by the church is said to be around 500 years old, the customs however, contrary to Catholic dogma where 'magic' and 'fortune telling' is forbidden, are being traced back to the Ancient Greece. Hope it helps.

Most common - you can buy them in each shop - are pierogi with white cheese - we eat them with cream and sugar. In supermarkets, you can buy also with white cheese and raisins or blueberries

    Jokes aside - Polish parliament is quite simple actually Sejm is lower chamber, Senat is higher chamber. Most bills start in Sejm, then comes to Senat, and finally are signed by President. Senat and President can veto bill and return it to Sejm or send to Constitutional Tribunal to check if it's correct with constitution.

    St. Andrew's Day is not only a holiday for young ladies, but St. Andrew's Day is also Andrzej's name day. in Poland we celebrate name days. "Andrzej from the Greek means man, (człowiek, mężczyzna”)" [another source also translates it as: "brave, (dzielny, mężny)"]. So it's also a holiday for all men.

    Divination was done on the eve of St Andrew's Day, the evening before the feast. At this time, the maidens would usually tell each other who would be the first to get married. To do this, one shoe of each maiden was placed in the furthest corner of the house and the last shoe was moved forward and so on until one of the shoes crossed the threshold. This was supposed to symbolise the leaving of the house of the parents of the already married girl. Another fortune-teller on the evening of St Andrew's Eve was the pouring of wax. The wax was melted in a pot and then poured into a bowl of water through the ear of a key. Once the wax had set, the shape of the shadow on the wall could be used to tell, by candlelight, what was in store for that person in the coming days. Christmas Eve itself (in the former Eastern Borderlands of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth it is also called Wilia), and in general any evening before a holiday, is called "wigilia".
    When it comes to bigos. In Old Polish, the word "bigosować" meant "to chop". So bigos is not just sauerkraut with meat, sausage and smoked plums (yes, in Poland fruits are smoked ;) ) but all dishes that are chopped and stewed.
    As for games. It's not just "The Witcher" or "Cyberpunk". It's also "Dying light" or "Frostpunk".
    Finally, a question. Have you watched "Geography now: Poland"?
    I also recommend the song "Eat pierogi" by Me and the Band.

    I think you should really make a video about great Polish dubbings, especially those made for Disney movies. Poland is known to have many talented voice actors and singers, who make a fantastic job voicing animated characters. Plus, Poland has its own unique way of translating documents and movies - voice-over translations (in Polish called 'lektor filmowy'). Almost every feature film, documentary and tv serie that comes from other countries has sort of a narrator, who reads the Polish translation out loud instead of just showing subtitles. It's a great way of watching movies because you don't have to pay attention to the screen all the time. You can make yourself some coffee or tea or walk to the other room next door while still hearing what's going on on the screen.

    Andrzejki, St. Andrews Day. Ok, this is a tricky one. As far as I know: The Andrzejki night comes from a Pegan tradition, before Christianity arrived in the year of 966. Poland's demographic structure is by far mostly Catholic, so by no means, any fortunetelling activity would be accepted. However, somehow, some of the old rituals survived. This one did probably because of the fun, social element, and it's treated with a huge grain of salt. As far as the name Andrzejki (from Andrzej, read ANDjEi, Andrew) comes from a pure coincidence of the timing alignment of the particular "ritual" and the day of celebrating St. Andrew's name.

    "Na zdrowie" means literally "to your health". It's quite hard to explain why we say that, but I guess it's like just wishing you that this drink will go for the best to you, like wishing somebody all the best, best of luck, good health, be good! I think that most of slavic countries say that. For example Czech say "na zdravi" which means exactly the same, Russians: ваше здоровье (wasze zdorowyje), Slovaks: na zdravie... etc. maybe it relates to drinking liquors back in the days to rise the blood pressure or help to warm you up during the winter (obviously we used to have very strong winters) so it had these health supporting abillities.

    Warning! This comment may be considered boring by some :) Broadly speaking, we can divide countries into monarchies and republics. In a monarchy the head of state is the monarch (king (i.e. Great Britain), emperor (i.e. Japan), prince (i.e. Luxembourg), pope (Vatican City is a theocratic absolute monarchy). Monarchies have parliaments (elected by popular vote) - like the House of Commons in the UK or unelected - such as the House of Lords). Monarchies also have governments and prime ministers (even the Vatican City or the Holy See). Monarchs are not elected, they take the throne in the line of succession (in the years 1573-1795 Poland had 11 elected kings). The second group of states are republics. The Republic of Poland belongs to this group. The head of state is elected and can be re-elected only once, for a 5-year term (the same person can be the president for a maximum of 10 years.) Republics have parliaments (one or two houses of parliament) In Poland, members of both houses of parliament (Sejm - lower house and the Senate - the upper house of parliament) are elected by popular vote for a 4-year term (the next parliamentary elections will be held on October 15). Both houses of the Polish parliament create state legislation and have tools to control the government. The head of government is the prime minister. The most visible difference between the UK and Poland is therefore the origin of the head of state.

    In Poland the constitution confirmed the mixed presidential-parliamentary form of government. Under its provisions the president is directly elected to not more than two five-year terms. The president serves as commander in chief of the armed forces, has the power (albeit restricted) to declare martial law or a state of emergency, and can veto an act of the Sejm (which in turn can override that veto with a three-fifths majority vote).
    The president nominates the prime minister and, on the prime minister’s recommendation, the cabinet, subject to the Sejm’s approval, but the president cannot dismiss the government. Deputies in the Sejm and senators are popularly elected to four-year terms. Laws must be adopted by both houses. The Senate has the right to amend or reject a law passed by the Sejm. The Sejm may override the Senate’s decision with a majority vote.
    The main executive power is vested in the prime minister and the Council of Ministers, who are responsible to the Sejm. The government can be terminated by the Sejm only by a constructive vote of no confidence. The prime minister has a role comparable to that of a chancellor in the German political system.
    Fun fact: Parliamentary elections will be held in Poland on 15 October 2023 to elect members of the Sejm and Senate 😉😉😉😉

    Andrzejki or St. Andrews day is big because it is the last day you can party before Advent (well it is one of the reasons) the other reasons go back to some pagan customs that coincided with the timing of St. Andrews which is on the last day of November (the 30th not 29th as he said.) Furthermore, he mispronounced many Polish words including "na zdrowie" and "Wigilia".

    And overall around 60 million Poles overall live on Earth. Białowieża is last remaining part of primodial forest covering most of Europe, none other is left.
