I would be most grateful for any assistance with the name of Emil Kopij I think came from Buska? in Lwow the spelling could be incorrect.

Thks.

The Lwów area was a likely Kopij strognhold, as the largest Kopij concentations in today's Poland are in the recovered lands (Ziemie odzyskane), ceded to Poland at the Third Reich's expense by the Big Three Allies. That's were Poles from the Lwów area and elsewhere in what became the so-called Ukrainian, Belarussian and Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republics were resettled after Stalin annexed and never returned one-half of prewar Poland.

I knew Kopij who lived and, probably, still lives in L'viv.

what became the so-called Ukrainian, Belarussian and Lithuanian Soviet Socialist Republics were resettled after Stalin annexed and never returned one-half of prewar Poland.

I also heard about Kopijs in the annexed Germany's and Czech's territories and never returned back by the SO-CALLED Polish republic.

Say what? Have you been drinking again, Nat? Poland was never a Soviet republic (well, not formally anyway.)

Where did I say Soviet for Poland, Torq? ;) I just said republic. Was it a republic or no?
*takes a bottle of finished cheap wine from Torq so he doesn't get even more drunk*:)
