History / Taras Bulba - the movie [115]

Apr 3, 09, 21:47 - Thread attached on merging:
Russians filmed anti-Polish, anti-Ukrainian movie

Director of this movie was born and risen in Ukraine, then moved 29 yo to Moscow and filmed one gifted movie in his 30-th. Now he is not in a good shape, but still perfect for politically motivated provocations of ruling in Russia's regime against pro-European Ukraine.

His movie "Taras Bulba" is ridiculously expensive, but who counting money... Premiere happened this week and a pile of Russian mighty nationalists were present as Mr. Zhirinovsky, etc. In this movie a lot of blood, a lot of Ukrainian cossacks of 15th century dying for Russia (even Russia as a country did not exist that time), a lot of hate words against "liechy"... Blood, hate,.. Shameful idiotic footage, manipulation of history and a ridiculous attempt to put down new friendly relations between Poles and Ukrainians.

Quality of the footage is not for Oscar nomination, btw. Made in "new Russian action" style, with closed shots wounds and a lot of dark ketchup. Brrr... Horrible.

History / Drang nach Osten. [79]

I am just disappointed how Germans treat Easter Europe - like Russia dominated territory. Recently Ukrainian Ministry Of Foreign Affaires issued Note Of Protest against appearance of German Foreign Minister Mr. Erler on Russian TV with sentences against Ukraine's NATO membership. I would accept it as a confusion if I never watched German DW - very pro-Russian in everything towards E. Europe.

News / Poland boycotts German goods? [266]

I guess Ukrainians shall boycott German goods because Germans block Ukraine's entry to EU. I do.


I guess we saw that angle in 1939... They are not able to change or what?

News / Venezuela is voted happiest place to live ,Poland? [33]

Having such president lie Czavez :-) Of course they are smiling nation!

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

Fact is only one country has recognised those separating republics. Ironically it is a country occupying those republics. So, it is rather annexation of Georgian territories. Nothing good to any part in such ridiculous situation. Independence can not be gained such brutal way in modern world.

>it is strange how could we have such difficult relations in the past.

Common people, why difficult? Ukraine and Poland were in common country RP (under rule of Polish king, but also elected Senate and with strong local elites) for about 200 years and all we talk about it is last few years of break up. There was a common country for 200 years! Do you think it was only about hassle each other? I don't think so. I am sure it was not.

And you are not right, Kyiv was not a frontier of RPospolita, it was far East, Uman at least.

And Serduchla aka Andriy Danilko yeah... shaked ass of the Europe :-)

Travel / Have you ever been in Poland? [111]

Do we ever have a neighbor with never having problems with? :-) It is technically impossible. But I am about current situation, I see that Ukrainian elite like and respect Polish. If you watch Ukrainian TV no one drops any critics to Polish policy. Of course it is possible that some issue come up, but it is not kind of tension we have everyday with Russians or Romanians. We just do not understand each other unlike Polish.
