    Those graves are in Warsaw from 1920, so those were soldiers of UPR and not banderists, but still he just couldn’t miss on anticommunism.

    He said that soviets were bringing “bolshevism, wilderness, cruelty, rape, death, unimaginable bestiality” such a nice almost civilized almost european man. Pity he’s did not even deserved a seat in Washington and had to grovel and sign fealties standing but no matter.

      Wewlad. But somehow that isn’t racism as far as “international community” is concerned.

        No, he only hates the goverment (which don’t exist so it safe), not the people. Well, he actually hate the people too, but they do not treat communist as people, not in the 1920 and not today.

          but they do not treat communist as people

          If Ukraine is any indication, there seems to be a serious push to associate USSR with Russia specifically - Soviet Ukraine is treated as being occupied and essentialy collaborationist. With that in mind, I am not sure Duda or any of his draw any distinction between treating communists as non-human (which is fucked up by itself) and treating Russians as non-human (gee, where’d we heard that one before).

            In Poland it is even greater, here communist = russian. Being communist is basically the same as being russian spy - which is incredibly annoying to say the least. Ofc it is intertwined with the stories of soviet=russian “empire” and with supposedly rampant racism, oppresion of minorities and antisemitism in USSR.

            Seriously just a Land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie.

        Fun fact: 1284 is when the og Pied Piper of Hameln events supposedly happened, and this is pretty funny in the context.

      Aren’t Poland’s ultranationalists still pissed off about this? I doubt that his anticommunist intentions would calm them down since he still pressed F for a Ukrainian nationalist, and Polish and Ukrainian ultranationalists have a long standing rivalry.

        Yes they are, there are far right groups absolutely pissed about this entire Ukraine relations, but they all have some reason to not protest too much. For example the “kresowiacy” first time since 1945 have real but hidden hope of getting some land, maybe even entire west Ukraine. Or the bulk of the nationalists, they hate Ukraine, but they hate Russia way more.

      They’ve been fucking around since 1989. They feel confident feeling USA’s hand up their arse military behind their back. Plus their own military, which I am told is quite sizeable for current Europe.

      I don’t think anyone is prepared to how bad things are gonig to be if - when - they indeed do Find Out.

    You know that section of Polish-American twitter with winged hussars and pictures of Michal Wolodyjowski is going absolutely crazy over this

      Fun fact: they also completely ignore the only real winged hussar among the protagonists of Sienkiewicz trilogy, beacuse he’s such boring and passable character.

        Jan Skshetuski, right? (Not sure I spelled that right; the English translations seem to mess around with the original names pretty freely)
