    People do not realize what a nightmare Poland was created from. This army gathered people and weapons from virtually every country in Europe. The eastern front line of World War I passed through the center of Poland. The railway tracks were of different widths and depending on the occupier. There was practically no industry. The law had to be created practically from scratch and from three systems. Lack of a uniform teaching system. In the East, most people could not write and read. The currencies were different, the traffic rules were different, the system of weights and measures was different, and there were separate legal systems. If the train was traveling from Vilnius to Zebrzydowice and then to Vienna via Warsaw, post-accident procedures were considered according to five separate systems, depending on where the train disaster could have occurred. The currency and monetary system had to be unified. And a million other things.

      It is not true that there was no industry, but this industry was very damaged. In the years 1914-1916 Russia plundered Polish territories, and took to the east thousands of production lines (together with professionals who escaped back to Poland in 1917, right after the outbreak of the October Revolution), and then as a result of monstrous war damage, the next factories and large farms were ruined (German troops liked them, for example, burn or blow up).
      In other words - in 1918 the industry had to be rebuilt from the ruins.
      But up to 1914, the part of Poland occupied by Russia was quite well industrialized and the most developed and rich in the entire Russian Empire (the machinery, textile, metallurgical industry, giant sugar factories, etc.).
      As to the territories under German partition: Silesia (mines and smelters) and Greater Poland/Wielkopolska (machine and food industry, developed by Poles in economic resistance against Berlin policy of Germanization of these terrain after 1860) were also very industrialized.
      The least economically developed were areas under the Austrian partition, but there were the thriving industry centers, primarily in Lviv and Bielsko-Biała (textiles, steelworks, breweries, glassworks).

    1:09 Ignacy Jan Paderewski, one of the most important fathers of Polish independence, was a very outstanding, unique person. He was a worlwide famous pianist and composer. He was a real celebrity of that times. He had many tournees in many European countries and numerous tournees across the whole USA, giving concerts in the most famous concert halls and gathering crowds of viewers. And later he was also the Polish prime minister and foreign affairs minister. Before 1919, he met several times with the US President Woodrow Wilson, discussing with him the issue of regaining the independence by Poland. He was one of the representatives who signed in name of Poland the Treaty of Versailles, that ended the I World War.

    2:25 Interesting fact: this plane is flown by (probably) Merian C. Cooper, one of a group of American volunteers who wanted to help Poland regain its independence. He had a personal motive in this - his great-grandfather was helped to liberate the United States by a Polish general - Pulaski. During one of his missions he was shot down, then ended up in Russian captivity as far as Moscow, from where he escaped and returned to his unit. After winning the war, he returned to the US where he made the first film about King Kong (in which he also flew a plane). A brilliant guy.

      And it was really Polish - developed by Poles for centuries from the 12th century. Unlike Wrocław/Breslau, which is a city developed by few countries and nations. For the first 500 years, until the 14th century, it belonged to the Kingdom of Poland, for the next 200 years to Polish Silesian princes, for another about 100 years to the Kingdom of Czechia, from the 17th century to Austria and only from the half of 18th century to Prussia and then to Germany. The most beautiful parts of Wrocław (these parts were primarily rebuilt by Poles from war damage) are the medieval old town from the times of the Kingdom of Poland with a magnificent cathedral and of course the monastery complex on the island on the Oder (Ostrów Tumski) founded by Polish kings in the 11th century.

    Haller is a German name. There are many Polish people with German names. During WW2 four of our generals were ethnic Germans. Germans tend to think that Germanic people living in Poland for centuries were German, but in fact most of them polonized and considered themselves Poles. Only in the 19th century the German govt brought new German people from Germany proper to colonise the occupied lands and most of those people remained German. And yes, many Polish people were fluent German speakers in the early 20th century because they literally grew up in German speaking countries either in the Western Poland which was occupied by Germany, or Galicia in the South occupied by Austria-Hungary. That's why Poles could break Enigma a decade earlier than the Brits, because Poles knew German culture from within and understood how Germans think.

      The German name of a Polish citizen, Polish soldier, artist DOES NOT MEAN that someone is/was an ethnic German. Simply in a last thousand years, especially until the 19th century, many Germans went to Poland, looking for better life or escaping religious intervals, and they mixed with Poles. Only names testify to German, already distant and weak roots. These ppl are ethnic with Polish, and distant German roots. In addition, the ethnic Poles were forced to take the German names in the 2nd half of the 19th century, during the brutal Germanization of Polish terrain under the German partition. This was the case in Silesia and Pomerania (not only Kashubia and Gdansk, but also Warmia), with less intensity - Greater Poland, etc..

    In 1918, after 123 years of partitions by Russia, Prussia and Austria-Hungary, Poland regained independence. It was not easy to regain the territory from before the partitions. Poles fought with the Germans in the west (Greater Poland Uprising), in the east with the Ukrainians for Lviv, also fought for Vilnius and with the Czechs for Cieszyn Silesia. In 1920, Bolshevik Russia attacked Poland and brought the "Red Revolution" to Europe. Poland never regained its full territory from before the partitions, which was over one million km/sq.

    Another German name of a Pole - Maximilian (Maksymilian) Kolbe, who is one of the most famous, known worldwide, saints of the Catholic Church, a martyr. He was a priest, a Fransiscian friar, he established very well known, still existing, Catholic media. He was also a missionary in Japan, he build there a monastery in Nagasaki (that being located at the slope of the mountain survived the atom bomb attack and is still existing). Later, when he came back from missions to Poland and the war came, he was imprisoned in Auschwitz. He is very well known worlwide for his heroic act of giving voluntarily his own life in Auschwitz for another prisoner (who had wife and children).

The Archduke denied to sign German Volksliste and was imprisoned and beaten by Gestapo. His wife (who was Swedish) joined the Polish resistance movement and helped the Polish Home Army. Their sons fought in Polish Army, one of them in division of general Stanisław Maczek. Their daughter, Maria Christina Habsburg could speak perfectly in Polish up till her death. And after the fall of communism and long years of emigration, she came back to Poland, to spend there her last years of life and to die here.

    Speaking of the plebiscite in the Upper Silesia in 1921 (voting of the inhabitants of these areas, to whom they want to belong - to Poland or to Germany, after three years of struggle of Upper Silesia people against Germany). The overwhelming most inhabitants of these areas were Poles and Silesians (a nation with Polish roots, which was formed in the 18th/19th century, after the Upper Silesia hit in the hands of Austria, then Prussia). It was certain that Poland would win in the plebiscite, because the Germans constituted a significant minority of the inhabitants of these areas, in addition, many of them had mixed Polish-German origin. That is why the Germans began to bring, mainly from Bavaria, hundreds of thousands of people who were to pretend to be residents of Upper Silesia and take part in the vote. Because the plebiscite was poorly managed by France, this trick was partly succeeded. As a result, part of Upper Silesia returned to Poland, and the second part was handed over to Germany.

    Poland has been pushed away from access to the sea several times in its history. Gen. Haler, regaining access to the sea, symbolically married the sea with Poland by throwing a signet ring into the water. This wedding is an oath that we will never give up the Polish Baltic Sea again.

    1. Commonwealth - known as Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth. It was state created by union of Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania in 1569 and lasted till Third Partition in 1795. At one point it was the most powerful country in Europe. It had modern lands of central and eastern Poland, entire Lithuania and Latvia, parts of Estonia, entire Belarus and western and central Ukraine. For short amount of time it was in personal union with Sweeden (which was way bigger back then) and occupied Moscow for 2 years (one of our kings almost became tsar of Russia). What was quite unique for it was it government. Instead of absolute monarchy we had noble democracy. Nobility, which constituted 10% of society, were electing monarchs (who were more like modern day presidents) and were deciding about important matters.
    2. Lwów - known as Lviv in English. Today it is a city in western Ukraine. Before that it was one of Polish cities. In 19th century it was important center of Polish culture. During the Interwar period it was both symbol of polish fighting for freedom (due to heavy battles for this city in years 1918-1921) and one of the centers of polish science. For example, from there came mathematicians who broke Enigma code. Also there studied Stanisław Ulam, true father of Hydrogen Bomb.
    Due to WW 2, Lwów was stolen by Stalin and it never came back to Poland, despite it importance for Polish culture. Today some Poles treat it like our Atlantis. Wonderful town which we lost.
    3. Wedding with a Baltic Sea - this is more complicated. In Polish history, access to the Baltic sea was always… a bit of struggle. First Teutonic Knights, at the beginning of 14th century, took city of Gdańsk (ger. Danzig) from us, cutting us from the sea. Later, in 17th century (if I recall correctly) Sweeden almost cut us of from Baltic too. Later Prussia, during First Partition, took our access to the Baltic.
    Haller, in 1920, took part in official wedding ceremony on Polish shores of Baltic Sea. By throwing ring to the sea he made an vow, that Poland will never loos access to the sea ever again.
    4. Józef Piłsudski - here I would need to write 10 pages in Word to explain properly, but I will try to keep it short. Józef Piłsudski was an WW I hero, military leader and one of Fathers of Polish Independence. In 1918 he took control over Polish State and began proper work of rebuilding and defending our country. While other Fathers of Polish Independence like Ignacy Paderewski or Piłsudski mortal rival, Roman Dmowski, fought for Polish borders on the west by taking part in Conference in Versailles, Piłsudski took care about maintaining security in the country and shaping Poland’s eastern borders by fighting with Ukrainians (at first) and Bolsheviks. Later, in 1926, he staged an coup which overthrow an unstable government (it was total mess before that) and make sure that country was only getting stronger both in military, economy and politics. For example, in 1933, when H*tler came to power in Germany, he was one of few people who realize how messed up situation can become, so he wanted to start an preventive war against Germany to overthrow H*tler. Sadly France didn’t agree to support the attack.

    From Wiki:
    "The Commonwealth was established as a single entity by the Union of Lublin on 1 July 1569. The two nations had previously been in a personal union since the Krewo Agreement of 1385 and the subsequent marriage of Queen Jadwiga of Poland to Grand Duke Jogaila of Lithuania, who was crowned jure uxoris King of Poland.[20][21] Their descendant, Sigismund II Augustus, enforced the merger to strengthen frontiers of his dominion and maintain unity as he remained childless. His death in 1572 marked the end of the Jagiellonian dynasty and introduced an elective monarchy, whereupon members of domestic noble families or external dynasties were elected to the throne for life."
    We had 11 electorial kings.
    We had on the throne, among others: Saxon kings - Augustus II the Strong and Augustus III Saxon. There was also Stefan Bathory - the Prince of Transylvania.
    There were also 3 kings from the Swedish Vasa dynasty, one Frenchman Henry III Valois - Duke of Angoulême (from 1551), Duke of Orléans (from 1573) and Duke of Anjou (from 1566).
    As the fourth son of Henry II of Valois and Catherine de Medici, Henry III of Valois had little chance for the French throne, which is why he was considered a good candidate for the throne of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth after the childless death of Sigismund II Augustus, the last king of the Jagiellon dynasty.
    The situation changed in May 1574, when Henry became, in accordance with the law of the Kingdom, which does not require any additional confirmation of this fact, King of France (all previous candidates had died). A few days after receiving news of his brother's death, Henry secretly fled Krakow and went to France, where in February 1575 he was crowned King of France.
    While escaping, he stole from Poland, among others: the best birds of prey, several falconers decided to accompany the king to France.
    Henry never appeared in Poland again, although he never - even after dethronement - renounced the Polish crown, he had the nerve to consider himself the rightful ruler of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth until his death!!!
    What arrogance...
    Ultimately, the nobility of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth considered the king's escape as an abdication and chose Anna Jagiellon (sister of Sigismund II Augustus, the last of the Jagiellon dynasty) as his successor. She later married Stefan Batory. Neither Batory nor Henryk Valois spoke Polish...

And at the sultan's court during the official hearings of diplomats from various countries there was a question repeated during these years: and where's a representative of Poland.

    5:13 Despite these were still not easy times, after regaining independence by Poland (times of rebuilding the state, ruined by partitions, times of war with Bolsheviks etc.) - the 1920s and 1930s were also for instance a period of really rich cultural and artistic life in Poland and of great development of entertainment industry. There were plenty of cabarets, artists, actors, songs etc. Including the Polish cinematography, film making industry that was developing really fast. Plenty of movies were made in Poland then, with actors that were real stars of that times. For instance, the first Polish actress that made international career and was known worlwide then was Pola Negri - she was a star in Hollywood, where she moved, in the times of silent movies and still in the 1920s and 1930s. She died in San Antonio in 1987. Another Polish star of that times, very well known worlwide, was Jan Kiepura - a very famous opera and operetta singer (tenor), and also an actor. He performed at the most prestigious stages of the world, like La Scala in Milan or Metropolitan Opera in New York. He played also in some Hollywood movies (he signed a contract with Paramount Pictures). He died in 1966 in the USA.

      My surname is German, but my ancestors were mostly Polish and some Hungarian. My great-great-grandfather was a native German, from Hesse, but he fought on the side of the Poles during the January Uprising against Russia in 1863. He married a Polish woman and my great-great grandfather was born in Warsaw, he was half Polish, but mentally he was a 100% Polish patriot. He fought for reborn Poland and, among others, he took part in Piłsudski's Kiev expedition, and in the war of 1920. He also married a Polish woman. My great-grandfather was a member of the anti-Nazi underground in Poland (as an officer of Home Army). After the war, he was repressed by the communists and only from the end of the 1950s was able to function normally in society. He married a Polish woman from a family with very strong traditions dating back to the 12th century of participating as nobility in Polish wars, but also local politics. My father, like most of his generation, fought (but not very intensely, rather supportively) to free Poland from communism (first of all, he took part in many demonstrations, hid one anticommunist opposition activist at home, etc.). So, like millions of Poles, I have a German surname, but these German roots are very distant. At the same time, I am proud of my brave great-great-grandfather from Hesse. By the way, Hesse and Baden-Württemberg always supported the Polish uprisings in the 19th century, and were enemies of Prussia...

Jego dziadek przybył do Polski z Großherzogtum Hessen Kassel. Po wojnie również represje ze strony komunistów ale swojej decyzji nigdy nie żałował.

    You are so wrong... 1. Of the majority of its official history (formally lasting 1078 years, but in fact longer), Poland (Polish state) did not have to revive and revive. It was reborn once - in 1918 after 120 years of partitions (Poland was occupied, mainly in the 19th century, by Prussia/Germany, Russia and Austria). It is true that the Kingdom of Poland was also "renovated" in the 13th century after 100 years of the so -called district breakdown. It was the temporary situation, when there was no the one strong, central ruler, but several Polish principalities (including Silesia) managed by princes from the Piast dynasty (dynasty governing the country since its creation in the 10th century), with the most important prince in Krakow - who was a bit like an emperor in medieval Germany. After about 100 years, Poland, however, became, again, the kingdom with the strong central power.
    2. Another thing: before World War 2, Poland was much greater than today, not smaller. Vilnius, Lviv were inhabited mainly by Poles (and were developed by Poles, counting from the 15th century to the mid -20th century) - that's why they joined Poland after 1918. After the Second World War, as a result of Soviet repression, most of Poles leaving in the former eastern Poland left it to the Poland in its new borders. Millions of Poles (about 20% of prewar Polish population) were resettled, deprived of their houses, belongings etc.
    3. Third thing: for hundreds of years of its history Poland bordered the sea (the words "Pomerania", "Pommern" come from the Polish word "Pomorze"/"Pomore", which means "by the sea", "at the sea", "coastal areas"). The coast of the Baltic Sea in modern western Poland belonged in the Middle Ages to the Kingdom of Poland, and then to the West-Slavic Duchy of Pomerania, with the capital in Szczecin/Stettin (the name of this city comes from the Polish and West-Slavic word "szczecina", which means wild boar coat). In the 17th century, after the death of the last prince from the Pomeranian Princes dynasty of Premyslid, this territory came to the hands of Brandenburg.
    4. And the more eastern part of the modern Polish Baltic coast, with Gdańsk (the main port of the Kingdom of Poland, which flourished especially in the 16th century), was just part of the Kingdom of Poland (and Commonwealth) until the partitions of Poland at the end of the 18th century.
    Until the end of the 18th century, Prussia region was divided into two parts. The first was Royal Prussia with Gdańsk, one of the districts of the Kingdom of Poland and then the Polish -Lithuanian Commonwealth (at the end of the 16th century, Poland became the Republic of the Nobility, rulled by the kings elected by the nobility).
    There was also the Prussian Principality (transformed into the kingdom in the 18th century, after the fields of the Principality and Brandenburg). Prussian Principality (former areas of the Teutonic Order) was, since 15th century, the feud of the Kingdom of Poland until half of the 18-th century. Polish law was used in it. The nobility was Polish and German, the townspeople Polish, Balto-Slavic and German, the peasants - Polish and Balto-Slavic).
    Most of Prussian Aristocracy (in Western and Eastern Pomerania) had Polish roots. For example, famous Prussian strategist, Carl von Clausewitz - who's surname was Polish, and who was proud of his Polish origin (he admired the Polish nobility as the bravest and best fighting in the history of Europe).
    5. Also, do not get excited about the unprecedented Polish history. Apart from the 19th century, Germany and France, not to mention Italy, survived much more wars that destroy them than Poland at the same time. The difference is that Poland fought with much more powerful enemies than, for example, France. In the Middle Ages, such an extremely powerful enemy (on a scale of the world) were Tatars and Mongols, who invaded Europe. For example, knights from the Kingdom of Poland, primarily from Lower and Upper Silesia, and probably from Greater Poland fought a key battle with Mongols in the Battle of Legnica in 1241. It was one of the largest battles of the Middle Ages, which saved, among others, also Czechia and Germany. Poles detained Mongols and displaced them from the center of Europe to the east. In the east, there was (in the Mongolian power, forv 300 years) the Moscow Principality (renamed Russia in the 18th century) and the eastern part of Ukraine (Western part of it belonged to Poland). In the 15th century, Poles and Lithuanians denied Mongols from the other part of Ukraine.
    In turn, from the late Middle Ages to the end of the 17th century - the deadly threat on the world rock were the Turks, whose procession by Europe was stopped by Polish troops in the battle of Vienna in 1786.

We were the only one nation, that could defeat Russia and control Moskow for 2 years. Polish heavy cavalery named "Husaria" could defeat almost every army, even when it was 10 times outnumbered. That cavalery also saved all europe, defiting Ottomans during Vienna battle (1683). Unfortunatelly, acording to internal disputes, we can not have mantain to rule our country (Commonwelth was noble-ruled republic), so we started to losing wars, and finally we had become Russian puppet (1712) until we got completly errased from map

    Another example of German name of a Pole - Wilhelm Brasse, who had a German grandfather, but he and his whole family were Polish patriots. He lived in Żywiec and was a photographer. He spoke German perfectly. During the war he was arrested by Germans and sent to Auschwitz concentration camp. He was a prisoner, but when the Nazists found out he was a photographer and knew German, they forced him to make photos of other prisoners, including the victims of Josef Mengele's horrible pseudomedical experiments. When the Germans were escaping from Auschwitz at the end of the war, he managed to save many of these photos (Germans tried to burn them), which later served as evidence in the trials against German Nazists. After the war he could never take a camera again in his hands (he had horrible memories from Auschwitz right away before his eyes and couldn't forget them, had such trauma). And because of trauma he was not able to speak German anymore, only few years before his death (so after the year 2000), he managed to use German again while responding to some German tourist. There were documentaries and books about him, titled "The photographer from Auschwitz".

      For instance the whole activity of "German Eastern Marches Society", called by Poles "Hakata" (H-K-T), which main activiry was about brutal germanization of Polish lands and destruction of Polish identity. It was a German radical, extremely nationalist and xenophobic organization founded in 1894. This organization had close ties with the government and local authorities. Or very harsh germanization during Bismarck's Kulturkampf. Bismarck himself privately believed that the inly solution to Polish Question was the extermination of Poles (one can read about it even in Wikipedia, in English version). And the most famous cases from that times, such as the Drzymała's van or the Września children strike.

After the war, Polish borders underwent drastic changes - we acquired many former German cities in the west, and the USSR took over many cities with Polish heritage in the east. Currently, Lviv is the largest city in western Ukraine.

    Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was one of the biggest countries back in the medieval times, thanks to their territory size mainly as well army size. From this country come the famous "Winged Hussars". One of the most feared army back in these times because of how trained they were. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was basically 2 countries merging into one via agreement or smth like it. These countries were Kingdom of Poland & Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The merging happened roughly after Battle of Grunwald where Grand Duchy helped Kingdom of Poland against Teutonic Knights. Of course it hasn't happened instantly and instead some time after the said battle. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth fought against Swedish Empire costing lives of many great soldiers in process with both sides (this is why they agreed to sign a pact to stop the war). Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the first ever country that was in Moscow for more than one day, they managed to even crown polish man into Russian crown in secret but this got discovered and they got basically kicked out of Moscow. Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth helped Austrian Empire against Ottoman Empire in Battle of Vienna. But as time passed and some rulers changed in Austrian Empire they agreed to go with Kingdom of Prussia & Russian Empire to split Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between each other . But they only did it twice, not like the two others three times. (Meaning they didn't took anything one time)
    Only Ottoman Empire was never acknowledging partitions of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which showed that even if Commonwealth won against Ottomans they started to respect them as equal.
    Of course this is not the end of the story cuz during occupation Poland was having Uprisings like November Uprising and January Uprising. (It was like a russian puppet or smth back then named Congress Poland which got dissolved after Germans took control of the land)
    Of course there also were Free Cities like Cracov, Posen, Gdansk. As well as during Napoleon rule of France he managed to free some part of Poland and make it "Duchy of Warsaw".
    But all polish greatness started with Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth basically and how we fought against our enemies fiercely.

      Between Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania first (since the Krewo Agreement in 1385) it was so-called personal union - so two states, with one king. And later, since 1569 (since the Union of Lublin) it was so-called real union, so one Polish-Lithuanian common state, of two nations. It lasted since partitions of Poland, the third partition in 1795.

      About Poland taking over the Kremlin: in 1609-1618 there was a Polish-Russian war. When the Russian Tsar Władysław Szujski entered into alliance with Sweden, being a threat to Poland, Polish king Sigismund III Vasa in response declared war to Russia. Polish armed forces had many victorious actions, in particular the Battle of Klushino in 1610 (under the command of famous Polish military leader, a hetman, Stanisław Żółkiewski). After this victory they entered Moscow and the Kremlin. The Russian boyars elected Prince Władysław IV Vasa, a son of Polish king Sigismund III Vasa, a Tsar. However, king Sigismund refused to acknowledge this, because there was a condition that a Tsar shouldn't be a Catholic, but Orthodox. King wanted the opposite. And the Orthodox Church and its leaders were afraid to lose their position. Also boyars were afraid to lose their position in favour of Polish. So finally even pro-Polish boyars, under these influences and politics of Sigismund, withdraw their support for Władysław being a Polish Tsar. Some of the boyars launched a popular revolt against the Polish crew stationed at the Kremlin. Thre were further fights, including the capture of Smoleńsk. But finally, in 1612 Poland decided to retreat. And in 1613 Michaił Romanov, a son of the Patriarch Filaret of Moscow (so of a leader of Orthodox Church) became a Tsar. In 1618 a treaty, ending the war, was signed (Truce of Deulino).

    Whether we were never an aggressor that's up to a dispute. After WW1 Poland annexed Polish speaking towns like Vilnius or Lviv, but Vilnius is an ancient capital of Lithuania so even though almost all the Lithuanians living there have long polonised and wanted to live in Poland, other Lithuanians considered it as an occupation of their capital. Also, Russians still resent Poland for occupying Moscow in 1612. Their independence day is about independence from Poland. During the medieval times Poland was like any other country in Europe engaged in territory disputes. However, it's true that from the late 14th century when the power in Poland shifted from kings to the nobles Poland was less and less willing to engage in wars other than defensive. That's because the nobles didn't want to pay for the wars. The Henrician Articles which were Poland's early constitution clearly stated that if a king wanted to take the Polish Army outside of Poland without the agreement of the Parliament he had to pay for it with his own money.

    Drodzy Młodzi Polacy poczęci (metodą tradycyjną) w latach 80-ych i później, zanim wyrazicie dozgonną wdzięczność swoim Dziadkom, Tatusiom, a zwłaszcza mitycznym już postaciom: Wojtyłom, Kozakiewiczom i innym Wałęsom za wywalczenie dla Was wolności może najpierw podziękujcie pewnemu naiwnemu, zagubionemu i w Polsce (ale nie w Niemczech!) już prawie całkowicie zapomnianemu komuniście-idealiście Michaiłowi Gorbaczowowi i jego - zmarłemu na skutek zaawansowanej choroby alkoholowej - następcy Borysowi Jelcynowi... Jeszcze w 1987 roku, a więc na długo przed tzw. Okrągłym Stołem" Gorbaczow wysłał ówczesnego szefa KGB Władymira Kriuczkowa do "bratnich" stolic z misją poinformowania lokalnych kacyków, że kuratela Kremla się kończy... i aby zaczęli sobie "radzić sami"... Najszybciej na "zielone światło" z Moskwy odreagowano nie ... nie .. w Warszawie ale w Budapeczcie, gdzie już w 1988 roku, tuz po odejściu I sekretarza KPW Janosa Kadara - najwcześniej w Bloku Wschodnim - rozpoczęto budowanie podwalin wielopartyjnego systemu władzy a dokładniej "zabawa w demokrację".
    Tymczasem dowiaduję się, że wg autorów, patronów (Ministerstwo Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego) i sponsorów (PZU) “Objazdowego muzeum historii Polski” robotnicy w 1970 i 1980 wyszli na ulice nie po to aby żądać podwyżki płac, poprawy zaopatrzenia sklepów w podstawowe artykuły spożywcze, obniżki cen, lepszych warunków pracy i bytu a walczyli o obalenie sowieckiego imperializmu i hegemonizmu, o prawa człowieka, o wartości europejskie a nawet stanęli w obronie gejów i innych mniejszości seksualnych... zapewne łącznie z transwestytami...
    A ja do dziś naiwnie myślałem, że chodziło o tańszą kiełbasę? Skoro już o kiełbasie mowa... czekam kiedy Panowie Wałęsa, Krzaklewski i P.Duda na obchody następnej hucznej rocznicy Solidarności - zamiast Chrisa De Burgh'a - kolektywnie zaproszą Conchite Wurst... a nad historyczną bramą Gdańskiej stoczni im. Lenina zainstalują symboliczną tęczę...
    Szkoda, ze nikt Wam w ramach historycznych rekolekcji nie przypomniał/uzmysłowił, że bez "wiatru od Wschodu" - w przerwach między strajkami i stanami wojennymi - nadal stalibyśmy w kolejkach po papier toaletowy i kiełbasę zwyczajną... na oczach zagranicznych fotoreporterów...
    A dyplomaci reprezentujący tzw. Demokracje Zachodnie - po wygłoszeniu kilku symbolicznych protestów (vide współczesna Ukraina) - nadal wznosiliby toasty za rozbrojenie, odprężenie, światowy pokój i współpracę kieliszkami wypełnionymi "Jasiem Wędrowniczkiem" czy "Stoliczną" z radzieckimi kolegami po fachu w imię post-jałtańskiej "realpolitik"... zreszta dokładnie tak samo jak to robili po (bardziej krwawych od naszych zrywów) Węgierskim powstaniu w 1956 czy Praskiej Wiośnie 1968 roku.
    Słuchając autotyrad Pana Wałęsy (i innych samozwańczych i z upływem lat mnożących się w postępie geometrycznym bohaterów walki z sowiecką tyranią) można odnieść wrażenie, że to właśnie on - grożąc palcem - osobiście wydał Gorbaczowowi rozkaz zburzenia Berlińskiego muru.
    W żaden sposób nie dopuszczają oni do siebie myśli, że gdyby Sowieci się uparli albo w przypadku zwycięstwa konserwatywnej frakcji Janajewa Pan Wałęsa zapewne nadal siedziałby okrakiem na stoczniowym płocie w oparach gazu łzawiącego i tytoniowego dymu z papierosów na kartki "czekając na Godota", modląc się przy tym do "Najświętszej Panienki" o zbawienie nas od złych duchów Jałty i Poczdamu, o poprawę warunków pracy, lepsze zaopatrzenie sklepów, o obniżkę cen na podstawowe artykuły spożywcze i - ma się rozumieć - o szczęśliwe wyniki w "totolotku sportowym".

    Jeżeli Wam a zwłaszcza Waszym Tatusiom zabrakło wyobraźni politycznej to spróbujcie sie obiektywnie zastanowić nad tym, gdzie byłaby dziś Polska i Polacy (i cała Europa Wschodnia) gdyby po odejściu “pampersokratyczno-geriatrokratycznej trójcy” Breżniew/Andropow/Czernienko do władzy na Wschodzie dorwał się taki Pan Putin... albo ktoś Putinopodobny...

    No właśnie, skoro jesteśmy przy temacie... Jak to było naprawdę z tą okupacją sowiecką?
    Wyśmiewanie PRL-owskiego cyrku "w okupowanym przez Rosjan" kraju (nawet na ekranach oficjalnej tv) było tak powszechne, ze nawet ówczesne władze machnęły na nie ręką. Stosunkowo dużej jak na tamte czasy swobody słowa i bogactwa życia kulturalnego mogły nam pozazdrościć nie tylko pozostałe "baraki" obozu socjalistycznego ale rownież wiele krajów zachodnich. Walka PRL-owskiej cenzury z tzw. literaturą drugiego obiegu przypominała walkę z wiatrakami. Większość parlamentarzystów dzisiejszej RP posiada dyplomy i tytuły naukowe zdobyte na "komunistycznych" uczelniach, na które dostała sie na fali tzw. "awansu społecznego" z pomocą "punktów za robotniczo-chłopskie pochodzenie" do czego jednak żadna ze "świń" (określenie autorstwa Andrzeja Dudy) już się nie przyzna.
    Wielu z tzw. "represjonowanych" robiło w PRL-u karierę naukową (ze wspomne tu sp. Prezydenta Kaczynskiego). Tworzenie mitów i przeginanie historii to w jedną to w drugą stronę na zamówienie kolejnych elit politycznych oportunistycznie wPiSujących się do zmieniających się kontekstów geoPOlitycznych stało się w III RP akceptowaną i powszechnie stosowaną praktyką. Nawet - z założenia niezawisła - instytucja jak IPN ulegała naciskom politycznym. Nasze młodsze pokolenie jest gotowe uwierzyć, że przed 1989 roku czekaliśmy na zagładę w gettach albo obozach koncentracyjnych, w atmosferze masowych ulicznych łapanek-zdejmując czapki przed patrolami żołdaków sowieckich. Nie zdziwię się gdy za kilkadziesiąt lat podręczniki opiszą braci Kaczyńskich jako członków walczącego podziemia, którzy rzucali butelki z mieszanką zapalającą na tanki z czerwoną gwiazdą.

    Nie chcę umniejszać naszych cierpień i upokorzeń w PRL-u: słuchanie tej głupawej PZPR-owskiej nowomowy, karmienie nas przyprawiającą o mdłości propagandą z jednoczesnym zagłuszaniem Radia Wolna Europa i Głosu Ameryki, nieustanne kolejki, strajki o zniesienie podwyżek cen, smród gazu łzawiącego. Nie sposób zapomnieć o tych okrutnych, ciągnących się bez końca nocach godziny milicyjnej, które mniej więcej od sierpnia 1982 roku zaowocowały niespotykanym w historii Narodu Polskiego przyrostem naturalnym... ku wielkiej uciesze Kościoła.
    Te 45 lat okupacji radzieckiej przetrwaliśmy kosztem wielu wyrzeczeń: brakowało kiełbasy zwyczajnej, papierosów, papieru toaletowego... ale w tym PRL-owskim aborcyjnym raju jakoś nigdy (to do Pana, Panie Terlikowski) nie brakowało dzieci.
    Czy kogokolwiek w ówczesnej Polsce martwiła niedostępność na półkach księgarskich np. "Folwarku zwierzęcego" czy "1984" Orwella? Podejrzewam, że żaden z - wyprostowanych na baczność przed flagami EU, USA i...Watykanu - polskich prezydentów nigdy nie trzymał tych książek w ręku.

    Zapytajcie Ojców i Dziadków co podczas słynnych, również zmitologizowanych Grudniów i Sierpniów było sprawą bardziej aktualną i ważniejszą: wolność słowa czy tańsza kiełbasa? Zróbcie to, prosze, zanim świadectwo pokolenia "50-latkow +" na wieki wieków zostanie wymazane z naszej naszprycowanej do granic absurdu heroiczno-martyrologicznym testesteronem Narodowej pamięci... albo jeszcze gorzej ... będzie karane sądownie jako propaganda podważająca rację stanu III/IV RP.

    Życzę Wszystkim Rodakom Młodym i tym Starszym mniej lub bardziej przyjemnych refleksji.

    The WW2 has been my hobby for long time and I think such film you had watched is a BS, because it is very pathetic in form and it contains a lot of manipulating information. All countries have their great and shameful moments, and we all are people. You are absolutely right about the future and not being a hostage of the history but you are mistaken about Putla. Please note there were not so many people in the first half of 30's thinking that Hitler will lead to outbreak of war. All depends on our reaction to that, and pls, don't forget orcs are checking our ability to respond all the time. So being a naive optimist will just encourage Putla to further action.

      Yes, You're indeed right about Putin. And currently these situation is even compared sometimes, in some ways, to the situation before the II World War, when the international community didn't stop Hitler on time, but allowed him to go further, to annex Czechoslovakia, to escalate. Hopefully, for us all, this time it will end differently.

    Witaj , Masz rację że nie ma sensu opowiadać wciąż o trudnych tematach z historii Polski , ale nie można też o nich zapominać o d czasu do czasu trzeba o tym rozmawiać . Tematów do robienia filmów o Polsce jest mnóstwo . Kultura Polska , architektura , Kuchnia Polska , chociaż nie wiem czy akurat kuchnia Polska pasuje do tematu twojego kanału , ale może przecież po opowiadać jakie są twoje wrażenia z jedzenia bigosu .
