News / Abkhazia and South Ossetia are independent states now! Poland reaction? [236]

It`s fact not Pan-Slavism

when we are on "real politik", fact is also that Russia using those other Slavs as condoms from time to time

We had used it only once, when at the begining of WWII had tried to contact with Hitler through Bulgarian embassador in Moscow. Do you remember whose sattekite was Bulgaria in those times?

History / What was poland's best epoch in history? [26]

ConstantineK:
I have right to judge!

Off topic.
I'm asking for sources only.

I told you, Polish history is not my favourit topic, therefore may I rstrict the list by Russian prominent authors, such as Solov'ev, Kluchevskiy and so on. Yes I frecast your objection that they hardly might be named biased too, though I can plus Davise too.

I am not as strong in Polish history as in Roman, Russian, French or Byzantine and may consider it as a reflection on the historical facts from the history of above mentioned states. Nevertheless I know alot fron the Polish history, anyway more then Poles know about Russian. I have right to judge!

ConstantineK:
David do not know even his own history. The first signs of decline in Poland had been detected obviously with first elected king, at the end of sixteenth century.

Maybe you should read a little more Polish history from other authors then russian ones who got their degrees from a russian communist school?

Why should I? I preffer to read historical documents with dried facts without any comments from both sides. Thus I don't have a need to read Polish interpratation of historical sequence, especially in Russo-Polish affairs. Your facts will be a priori against Russia, though one could hardly name it impartial. I read enough Polish present-day authors to form my own point of view on Polish historiographic process.

He would have looked totally roman...he grew up in Rome as a noble hostage to secure the support of his chieftain back home in Germania

Yes I have read Tacitus and in according with his writings, Arminius was a warrior, but here he looks like he is a loving divinity Mirtha with sword instead of lamb in his arms. But I am sured, that in reality he was like Etruscan demon Tuchulcha.

Besides, there is another disappointing discrepancy; he is dressed in Greek tunic.

BTW, few additional words about Arminius's statue.
I had read about it, but never have seen it. I hardly can imagine that rude Hermanic barbarian might look like Greek youth. His appearance so smooth and handsom that he might be served as slave for sex in ancient Rome, and of course not as he really was - barbarian soldier in Roman army, 'federate'.

"friend" huh? :)

Of course!

BTW, Whose successor Poland is? Germany is successor of Charlemagne Empire, Russia is a Rus descendant, but Poland who is she? She like a violet in the ice-hole, where are her roots?

Addition: You are reading my thoughts?

The "first" German anyway was Arminius who planned and accomplished the destruction of the roman legions send out to enslave Germania! :)

Ah! It's just a romantic conception of German nationalism based on Napoleonic wars in XIX cent.

Well...he was from a german tribe, spoke very probably old-frankish, made Aachen his town...hmmm...what else?

So, you claim (as german) that you can read on Old-frankish or on old German at least?

First, there was no France.
France got their name from the Franks.

Yes, but there were Austrasia, Neustria and Aquitania. There was no such country as "Germany" too. So you could firmly say that his grandson Lothar was first German with a great reserve only.

And, well...he was a German! :)

No, no...He was Frankish king as well as his Grandpa Charles Martell.

Why you think that Charlemagne is german, but who was Martell then?

But first of all he acted on the territory of France and was a successor of Merovingian kings, who it their turn may be considered rater Franch predecessors then Germans. The core of his empire was France not German. Germany was no more than mark in thse times. I hardly could say that Thuringia is absolutely German. And above all, present time Germany to a greater or lesser extent has Prussian character, but Prussia itself has very little in common with Empire of Charlemagne

It was in descend already after Karl der Grosse (or Charlemagne) conquered and unified much of Europe.
As he died this huge Reich got split and from then on wobbled along for a millennia or so under another name...

Well it opens another question. May Germans be considered as successors of Charleman's Empire or not (by analogy with Russians as successors of Kievan Rus)?

News / Funny German way of thinking ... "Stupid Poles" destroying EU? [57]

Interesting, would you say this has always been the case is media built?

It is not a question of media, it is a question of self-identification. We, Russians, may exist only as large empire, otherwise we will be lost. And it is not so bad (to be big)

Bratwurst Boy:
How about no Poland for 200 years???

or Germany

It was totaly another reason. Nominally Germans had united state as Holy Roman Empire, though quite peculiar.

"not quite Roman, not quite Holly, not quite Empire"

Borrka:
Russian chauvinism is just some Russian issue.
How can you call Russians chauvinistic? You don't know each and every one of them. Maybe you should rephrase that and direct it towards the "Russian Government"

Actually he is right, Russian society is quite chauvinistic, but I think that chauvinism in right dose is very useful.
