History / Who were European natives? What happened to them? Where they are? [79]

I think Raven - Crow is just trying to draw your attention to the fact that so called early "European history" is a pile of BS created for political reasons by (mostly) German historians.

If historical sources and archeological findings do not suit to nationalistic myths it's only bad for the sources and findings lol.

And Germans are masters of the universe in this profession - I have red
a "scientific" study claiming Slavs were only combination of some Celtic
and Germanic elements.
According to the author they never really existed lol.

The father of all historians "made in Germany" was Heinrich von Treitschke.

Even linguistics has been involved - German "hundert tausend Professoren" are looking for proofs of Germanic origin of European toponyms.
Viel Spaß meine Herren !

News / If reality does not suit you, live a fantasy life. [5]

At least our Russian friends seem to like this approach.
Current financial crisis, bad news from the Moscow stock markets (mostly closed) and in general pains of life can be mildened with words of prophecy.

One of the popular predictions about Russia is that when the permafrost thaws and the floods come, nothing will survive on Earth but Russia.
The climate will change and Russia will occupy the best inhabitable zone.
Plus, Russia is predicted to herald in world peace and flourish in the face of good fortune.

The Bulgarian star prophetess Vanga's predictions are balsam for Russian souls:
"Everything melts away like ice yet the glory of Vladimir, the glory of Russia are the only things that will remain. Russia will not only survive, it will dominate the world."

Vanga already predicted some other events of the world history like the Chernobyl disaster, tragedy of Kursk, Russia in the G-8 and more.

So listen to me folks:
It's time to learn Russian and play balalayka - the Russians are coming and take it for granted, it's not the Brighton Beach sort of them.

History / Poland war propaganda poster - can anyone explain this picture? [292]

BB

Anti-Polish sentiments among Germans were high in the pre-ww2 times.

I've seen some posters but generally there was simple no needto stimulate the hatred towards Poles in such a primitive way !

But watch this movie.
Sorry I have this German version only.

Just my five cents.
Losing time on discussion with a person lying on purpose does not make too much sense.
I couldn't care less about Harry's opinions but he makes a kind of interesting creature - should be stuffed and presented on the next world's anti-Polonism exhibition.

Don't answer Harry.

History / Poles nation on the wheels...? [16]

In the 80-ties Poles and Soviets as well, were not even allowed to visit the neighboring country in organized tourist groups not to mention individual travels.

All because of politics and Solidarity movement.
So stop this BS.

History / Pan-Slavic dreams of Polish/Russian cooperation. [12]

Tragic hero of the Russian history, dethroned and murdered by conservative boyars because of his pro-Polish sympathies.
Son of Ivan the Terrible, spent his youth in Polish exile under the false name Grigori Otrepov.
Then, he showed up in Russia as a legitimate heir to the throne. Supported by the peasant uprising he defeated the bitterly hated by nobles and peasants alike, czar Boris Godunov.

Dimitr's bold attempts to reform Russia provoked new conflicts with a group of nobles and his death put an end to all pan-Slavic dreams of Polish/Russian cooperation.

Later historians of Romanoffs' court created his negative legend starting centuries of anti-Polish hysteria in Russia.

History / Pan-Slavic dreams of Polish/Russian cooperation. [12]

The forgotten battle on the East-Front, not very important from the strategic point of view, which anniversary for many years was celebrated in the communist Poland as "A Day of the Polish People's Army".

Purely political reasons stand behind the Stalin's decision to use bad trained Polish units for this operation.
Stalin or rather his wanna be lover Wanda Wasilewska, dramatically wanted to have "their' own Polish Army because of propaganda reasons and as a tool for creating vassal Poland after the final victory.

Unprofessional command of the "Soviet made" Polish or quasi-Polish officers lacking any combat experience (the experienced officers were killed in the Katyn forest ... quite close to Lenino), bad cooperation with the neighboring Red Army units resulted in terrible and useless casualties - almost 25% of the original file.

But it was nothing as compared with success in the political and propaganda plane - as the manifestation of the Polish participation in the German-Soviet war, and the basis for further "alliance" between the Red Army and the Polish People's Army.

We are brothers in arms too !

News / All this mess about Danzig... [122]

"Yes, Danzig was once to 98 percent german...Poles should return it to Germany"

Bratwurst Boy

Interesting statement Würstel so I decided to extract it from Crow's Slavic delirium and started a new thread.
This idea is well known to me but I'm not going to discuss it as a historical issue .

Unless you're joking/provoking or represent IQ of 70,
I'm sure you will be able to present some coherent logistic conception.
What are you going to do with Polish population living there ?

It refers not to Danzig only.
We are speaking about circa 15 millions Poles living on these, once German, territories.
Some Germans claimed even Warsaw to be proto-Germanic colony lol.

1. Are you going to exterminate the population of todays Western Poland ?
Even using German technical skills and given your well known experience it may be pretty hard.

2.Are you planing some mass expulsion to the regions Eastward the Vistula river ?
Possible but again rather hard and will create a total mess, some kind of Gaza Stripe inside the EU. Believe me Würstel, it's gonna be a risky business.

3.All your previous attempts to germanize Polish en mass, failed

So enlnighten me - what are your plans !?
Are you going to send us to the moon ?
But then you'll need even a closer cooperation with Russia.

News / All this mess about Danzig... [122]

Now, I would like to draw your attention to some rather unknown facts.

Two wonderful Baltic cities: Danzig and Königsberg were destroyed on purpose by the Red Army.
On purpose I said, after fights had been finished.

Then, in the post war times Danzig was carefully (as for commie habits) reconstructed.
Still some parts of it look like ruins of the Bronx (Nowy Port for example).

On the contrary, Königsberg was transformed into some model Soviet city and renamed Kaliningrad in 1946 after the death of Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR Mikhail Kalinin, one of the Bolsheviks directly responsible for the Katyn crime.

Probably a very specific sense of Stalin's humor - Kaliningrad is close to the Polish border.

Brezhnev consequently ordered that the remains of the Königsberg castle be disposed of so they would no longer be seen as a vestige of Prussian militarism.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not blind because of some "patriotic" pride.
I have been many times both to Gdansk and Kaliningrad.
The difference is striking - we can speak of the two different civilizations lol.

Devastated Soviet "gorod" surrounded by depopulated villages and towns you can find on the pre-ww2 map only, makes a picture of todays Kaliningrad.

Booming center with highest per capita income in Poland is Polish Gdansk.

That's probably the reason I've never heard our German friends making any claims to Kaliningradskaya Oblast' lol.
Just joking - it's a typical German hypocrysy if you know what I mean.

Stolen by Russia, in order to avoid any misinterpretation

Russians would like to keep Siberia under their control but they are not ready to live and work there.

So seriously, they have two options only:

- to give it back to China or better sell it like Alaska

- to revitalize the Gulags' system of forced labor and then move millions of the Slavic population from the European Russia to the Far East.

Point.

These facts we name "assimilation"

The Chinese consider Russians as a kind of much lower civilization,
No chance for any form of assimilation.

For sure it's not my opinion but rather common in China.

News / Poles, get ready for mass migration from Russia ! [50]

All of the sudden our Slavic brothers from Mongolian steppes are facing the biggest economical crisis since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I'm not kidding you.
Oil falling to its historic low and Dutch disease made them within some weeks to the "sick man" of EuroAsia.
So get ready for deja vu from the 90-ties - Russian street vendors on every corner, cheap liquor and cigarettes smuggled from Kaliningrad and last but not least ... oh I'll rather try to be nice in these hard times.

News / Poles, get ready for mass migration from Russia ! [50]

According to wikipedia:50 000 Belorussians31 000 Ukrainians6 000 Russians

These figures are totally underestimated and refer to permanent (registered) residents only.
However the majority of immigrants from the former Soviet Union are still Ukrainians and Belorussians.

I expect an influx of political asylum seekers from Russia just now, before and after the final collapse of Putin's regime.

For Ukranians Russia is the West. :)))

Hardly the truth.
Sure, Moscow was a kinda Russian Klondike during the Putin's oil rush.
Piter to some extend ...
But same goes for Kiev.

As for the rest of Russia ... it's fully "compatible" with the deepest Ukrainian glubinka, not even to start with cities like Donetsk or Dnepropetrovsk.
