A little correction to your description, it says that it is from the Polish-Bolshevik war but it's a song from after the Second World War as it mentions the Katyń massacre which occurred in 1940.
Well... not always it`s not truth. Diving deep in our history might be a bit emotional, but by this song u can feel how people were motivating themselves in the trenches. So, u can feel why we don`t want any connections to russia.
Unfortunately, this song tells the true history of Polish-Sowjet relations. It also explains why Poles do not like Russia and its imperialist behavior. The numbers in Wikipedia do not lie: "500,000 Polish nationals imprisoned before June 1941, 22,000 Polish military personnel and officials killed in the Katyn massacre alone, 320,000 Poles deported to Siberia in 1939-1941, 100,000 women raped during the Soviet counter-offensive (est.), 150,000 killed by the Soviets". The whole families, including small children, were transported in cattle cars to the cold Siberian forests - many did not survive these inhuman conditions.
I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Everything in this song is based on real events. You might want to read about the crimes and massacres committed against Polish people (and everyone else) by the Soviets/communists. It just shows that people who live in countries far from Russia/USSR have no clue. There's a reason why everyone in the region hates them. They were often more brutal and claimed more victims than Hitler's Germany. Over 100k Poles murdered during the anti-Polish operation in 1938. Over 20k shot in the head in Katyń in 1940 Hundreds of thousands/millions Poles who died in camps in Sybir/gulags Hundreds of thousands killed/tortured by the communist regime
To wszystko prawda. Tego nie można komentować z uśmiechem bo to znaczy, że nie rozumiesz znaczenia. To tak jakby Polak komentował zbrodnie włoskich faszystów pod wodzą Mussoliniego na narodzie włoskim i się przy tym uśmiechał.
Conscription of Polish children into the Army of the Russian Empire 1831-1832. The punitive recruitment of Polish children into the Army of the Russian Empire carried out during and after the fall of the November Uprising. According to the order of Emperor Nicholas I of March 23, 1831, the children of people taking part in the November Uprising were to be treated as so-called cantonists and conscripted into special battalions of the Russian army. By order of March 24, 1832, the Russian government ordered that boys aged 7 to 16, children of political emigrants, orphans, children of the poor and street urchins be sent to special children's battalions. Boys conscripted into service were forbidden to contact their families, and those from conquered nations or the Jewish community were subjected to intense Russification, punishing them for using their native language. They had to spend 25 years in the army. Sent to Russia, they died en masse along the way. Of the several thousand children sent from Warsaw to Bobrujsk, 2/3 of the children died.
Unknown? Maybe for someone who is not interested in history, but ok - you don't have to. I like history and geopolitical history. So what can I say, Polish patriotic songs are based on facts.
it really happened
Those stories are not made up.

All polish patriotic songs are written on the history facts. They are not made up. Our history was very sad and brutal. 😢
