      Oh Polish nationalists defend tsar every single time when the bolsheviks comes into equation, though often in roundabout way. Their hatred for the tsars rarily comes past the January uprising.

          Well i was always one leg in the tank i guess, since even as an apolitical idiot, or even worse later, a succdem, i always knew that Soviets saved us all from nazis (and in case of my grandparents absolutely literally) and that even late PRL, depsite less colourful trash around, was better. Seriously fuck succdems, they always sabotage socialism.

          And yeah, Poland was recreated solely because all three partitioning powers lost big time - Germany was in turmoil and crashed hard (and even then the Silesian and Greater Poland uprisings met with resistence), A-H stopped existing and was broken to pieces, same for Russian empire. If there wasn’t a October Revolution and Russia remained in entente and had any semblances of organised army, Poland would probably never gained independence back then.
