News / Polish minority abroad and minorities in Poland [71]

Why? Because, as I told you , close cooperation with Russia means turning back to the West and that`s what most Poles don`t want.

I disagree. Look on German argumentation when we talk for example about Nord Stream.

What do you mean by so called "West" ?

Even if it is going to cost us. Poles have proven many times they don`t look at the cost in such matters. Such national trait. :):):) That is why your words below have no influence on me :):):)

I am realy sory but PO is very popular, post-comunists are geting stronger. I am not so sure about Polish national traits you mentioned because PiS is losting its position...

Sorry, Salomon, if that disappointed you. As long as Russians view the West with hostility and suspicion, Poles will remain suspicious about Russia, because we are a bigger part of the Western culture than Eastern, if you want it or not.

Just look on Nord Stream ... If you want to be westerner ... start to use real politics...
Poland is bulwark of the west which will be sold in first bigger crisise. What is more Germany isn't western country like France, USA or UK. What has been proven many times before...

I'd say that Poland should be member of all EU NATO ect. but should always be closer in foreign policy to Russians than the Germans...

Before WWII Poland was much more "western" country than Soviet Union or Nazi Germany ... what doesn't change the fact that it was much better for Poland to open aliance with Soviets in 1939 instead of aliance with closer ideologicaly UK and France...

First of all people who try to get back their properties are current Lithuania citizens. In regions without Polish miniority Lithuanian state gave back 99% of properties which have been confiscated by the communists.

Lithuanian citizens with Polich origin are discriminated and current Lithuanian government wants to make from them pariases. It is not story of Poles who were expeled to Poland after WWII... It is story of people who live in Lithuenia and don't have Polish citizenship ...

The very fact that Poles in Lithuania organize protests in streets proves their plight is not so harsh as in Belarus.

Yes but in Belarus they have such strange system, to be honest Poles in Belarus are not in worst situation than Berusians in this country. If we talk about different treatment of citizens ... unfortunately Lithuenia treates differently Polish speaking population. In Belarus all people have the same problems with regime.

Just give people freedom. In region where Poles are in majority there should be kind of authonomy if Lithuanians are not able to respect Polish miniority.

To do it Poland should start close very close cooperation with Russia...

Whose the expert?

" Europe, defend our rights ", " Conservatives , your behavior is not Christian" , "Stop discrimination against minorities " - with posters of such content picketed on Friday Lithuanian Poles in Vilnius in front of the Embassy of the Czech Republic , who presides in the first half of the EU.

"Once again, we want to draw attention to the fact that the European Union human rights of national minorities in Lithuania" - told PAP President of the Vilnius branch of the Union of Poles in Lithuania , the organizer of the picket , Alice Piotrowicz .

She pointed out that " paradoxically , Lithuania , after the accession to the EU started to restrict the rights of national minorities" .

In Belarus they are denied even this right, Polish minority organization`s meetings are either dispersed or supervised by the police. That is why I said you are wrong that Poles have bigger problems in the Baltics.

As I've previously said. Both problems can be solved very quickly.

Aaah, here I`ve got you! I know what you mean. Give up Polish aspirations and join Russia on the crusade against the West?

There are profits and loses from being part of every aliance. There is nothing worst than being bulwark of the west. Look on our european "parnters" in case of Nord Stream. Look on this US shield project. Poland will be sold in first critical situation.

It is not nice situation but Poland should see the reality and look for the safest solution for itself.

What is more some changes in Polish policy can bring some noticable profits like mentioned before situations of Polish miniority in Lithuania and Belarus.

Life / What should Poland and Poles do, after first day of nuclear war? [133]

In my opinion miniotity in Lithuania has more problems that this on Belarus (it is also experts opinion). I am sure that changes in Polish foreign policy would solve all problems of Polish miniority in Belarus. So many positive signals towards Lithuania haven't changed annything and it is time to tell "enought".

Like what?

Poland should solve problems with oppressed Polish miniority in neo-nazi baltic states. Russians have the same problems with neo-nazi baltic states and their miniority. Cooperation in this case would bring more trust between Poland and Russia and both parties would gain.

History / Roman Dmowski- Polish Adolf Hitler? [219]

Bismarck and Poles in land occupied by Prussia...

h-net.org/~german/gtext/kaiserreich/speech.html

The immediate background for this long speech was the brutal expulsions from Prussian territory of Poles and Polish Jews carried out in 1885. Many of these people had been resident in Prussia for years but had not become citizens, no easy matter in Germany. Polish deputies in the Reichstag formally questioned the government on these policies. Bismarck responded by denying the competence of the Reichstag in Prussian state matters. Shortly thereafter a majority of the lower house of the Prussian parliament moved a declaration for the protection of German interests in the eastern provinces.

Succesfuly Poland got back what Germans had stolen before ...

History / Roman Dmowski- Polish Adolf Hitler? [219]

Kulturkampf and Germanisation policies in the Prussian Province of Posen

Thank you it must be it:

"In 1886, the authorities of Prussia prepared a new policy of Germanisation of the provinces with a Polish population. According to Heinrich Tiedemann, the author of the plan, the reason why all earlier attempts at bringing more German settlers to the province failed was that they allegedly felt uncertain and alien there. The proposed solution was to assure them of correctness of elimination of Poles from public life and land property, as well as to promote land acquisition by administrative means.

Prussia's Germanisation policies in the Province of Posen mostly failed. Although most of the administrative measures aimed against the Poles remained in force until 1918, between 1912 and 1914 only four Polish-owned estates were expropriated, while at the same time Polish social organizations successfully competed with German trade organizations and even started to buy land from the Germans. The long-lasting effect of the Polish-German conflict in the area was development of a sense of Greater Polish identity, distinct from the identity common in other parts of Poland and primarily associated with nationalist ideas rather than socialism, prevailing in other parts of the country in the 20th century."

Somebody knows why Dmowski was so popular in western Poland and Pilsudski in eastern and southern Poland ?

Silesia and Greater Poland loved Domowski.

News / Poland-Turkey Relations, a youtube comment [84]

They had problems with Prussian expansionism as Turks had with Russian. Both countries had similar reasons to oppose partitions of Poland.
