What are your thoughts on this 'seriał' that was aired in communist Poland, and continues to be shown? Is it wrong to show such Polish-Russian comaradery in light of Katyn, and Russian invasion in 1939?
In my opinion, it should continued to be shown. Many ordinary Russian soldiers fought well to free Poland later in the war, although it was to be bittersweet for Poland. Fact remains that many of our Russian brothers blood stains Polish soil... Stalin's agenda was Stalin's agenda. But ordinary Russians conscripted into the army did not have much of a say. Another fact is that Russians did not rape, or murder while passing through Poland. Only on rare instances which you will find in any army filled with men who have not had female companionship for such a long time...
I don't think anyone should take the show for anything more than entertainment purposes. Much of it is flawed, although the equipement, tanks, weapons are all real. Most of that was used from post-War Soviet military stockpiles.
