here’s to 10 more 🍻
Aw, those poor Russian victims.
Nice
Justified Russophobia (there are many more examples across ten centuries from all over the Baltic states, central, southern, and Eastern Europe, and Eurasia to boot).
Poles hating russians makes sense historically, but historically Germans, both Prussian and Austrian , have been just as bad, if not worse with the nazis, so why don’t they hate them too?
I think the “russophobia” today has more to do with current events than history. If Germany did anschluss 2 and invaded Austria, I think Poland would be just as scared of them.
The Poles who still remember the war say that there is nothing worse than Russian occupation. Germans had their specific targets, Russians just treated everyone equally bad.
Maybe, but those specific targets were more often than not killed. So yeah, people who survived may say the russians were worse because you can’t ask a dead jew who they thought were worse. The Germans killed 36x as many people during the occupation. Yeah the soviets taking your shit and trying to suppress your culture and autonomy sucks but that’s better than the Germans doing the same while sending a good chunk of the population to death camps
Again, I think that perspective is more shaded by the more recent soviet occupation after the war. If the nazis won and implemented their full lebensraum plans for Poland, nobody would be saying the russians were worse.
Some true, yet Austria did hit Poland only few times, while Germany, did that many times for over a millennium.
Germans are often hated, true, but for many, they are also allies in NATO, EU, Schengen and work market, so for many, they aren’t bad anymore. I mean, for many, there still are, rarely because of history, but many polish nationalists, even nazis, view whole EU as bad, as EU is trying to unify Europe beyond what nationalism wants coexist with others. Polish vs German hate falls under nationalism vs globalism war currently.
But rus, they are good source for smuggling only, and always should be hated.
I mean, they are right on the surface, Poles have every reason to fear Russia and our history is full of examples of shit Russian behavior.
More like “10 xenturies of Russian aggression”.
A lot of Europeans didn’t like the Huns, the Mongols or the Ottomans all that much either.
While doing everything to keep it for 10 more.
Tsar Vlad turning on the irredentism switch again.
When you have a hungry bear on your doorstep, your concern is not misplaced.
Wow, blatant russian nazi propaganda on lemmy.
It’s a Polish article denouncing Russian propaganda abd exposing it’s lies. Try clicking the link before commenting.
Maybe the words are too long.
Mate, Notes from Poland is not Russian propaganda.
This is something called the news, in this case it’s highlighting how Russia is amplifying the rhetoric around Poland and ensuring people are alert.
Maybe read the article next time, bud.
Break it down point by point for us then.
