hen, how to rule Poland taking in consideration religious differences. Foreign factor always managed to use those differences in order to divide Slavs even more. Considering those religious antagonisms, Russian failures on Slavic West were turned into real tragedies for Slavic world.... Russia was in unpleasent situation and needed reson to retreat from Poland
Crow, I admire your persistence but I think that most Poles are incapable of thinking about Russians as friends or allies for various reasons. Which is in my opinion a mistake. I am a Pole too but I understand your argument. I also think that religion is not a major factor for what you called an antagonism between Poland and Russia today. Today, this antagonism is politically motivated, fueled by media, sustained and nurtured by the elites for political reasons as well....In Russia, well...Russia is a different story...Personally, I think that Russia should have abandoned and condemned its soviet past. It could have given a ground for better relations between today's Poland and Russia.
