Law / Why does Poland not have a repatriation office? [38]

It does nothing to assist actual Polish citizens establish their rights as citizens

Plenty of people descended from those deported to the East have been assisted with this.

I didn't know that Warsaw was a region

It's the administrative centre of a large one.

News / 2ND MIRACLE OF THE VISTULA: youth mysteriously appear out of nowhere! [231]

Pure coincidence?

Absolutely not. It's a response to the current events in Poland, that are inspiring people who've never protested against anything, never gone on a demo, never stuck their heads above the parapet, to come out and say "enough".

Or is there the whiff of big money

No.

News / 60% of Poles say Szydło's government should resign [238]

his murderer outburts was aimed at Duda...

Absolutely. He's worried that the puppets may be less pliant than he thought, that nobody wants his 'fourth republic' and that Poles just aren't going to sit down and let this happen.

The rest of PiS and their allies see him and Macierewicz for the liabilities that they are...

Law / Why does Poland not have a repatriation office? [38]

The system by which most people who immigrate to Poland or elsewhere in Europe become citizens.

Usually based on period of residence, visa or residence status, proof of tax paid and passing a state language exam.

Study / Attending University other than one used for Poland's Student Visa application [8]

Me too. If the country is Turkey and the university is a particular one which takes plenty of Turkish and other overseas students there's someone I can ask about the delay. Except he's on holiday for 3 weeks which could be part of the reason for the delay.

Sometimes this happens, and is sorted out just in time.

That's nothing, Sparks. I saw Karl Marx, the Chief Rabbi of Brooklyn, Bernie Sanders, Hilary Clinton, Caitlyn Jenner, Jeremy Corbyn and Tinky Winky from the teletubbies standing there with clipboards asking the golden Polish youth how many ISIS members they can accommodate in their spare bedrooms.

The Polish government uses it euphemistically

Nothing 'euphemistic' about it. Those people are usually descended from people deported during the war to Kazakhstan etc and unable to return.

prove that your Polish ancestor didn't do something that would have resulted in a loss of citizenship under the 1920 Polish citizenship law.

It means that if someone revoked their Polish citizenship, had it cancelled by the Polish government or had it revoked on their behalf by a parent or guardian, that is permanent. Anyone in that situation must apply through the normal channels. Many do.

ALL Polish citizens who were living abroad before

Why would their descendents need any special help to gain citizenship? If they wish to reside in Poland or any other EU member state, the normal immigration laws should suffice.

Basically, the Polish Spring.

provide "incentives" to demonstrators promoting

Cobblers

I'm around young people all the time and they really can't stand JK

True. Though worth mentioning that many of the Poles taking part in the Polish pro-democracy movement are in the 28-42 demographic, generally well educated and not normally given to take part in demonstrations.

notably before current parliamentary crisis though

And this is the key.

the support for PiS at 38 per cent

Many politicians would be worried at such a low level of support - and the antipathy to the regime only grows.

their return to their homeland.

No evidence that the OP wishes to immigrate to Poland, or that it's in any sense a return. If he's no paperwork and can't get any from the normal archives it looks like he's ineligible, perhaps for reasons he doesn't mention.

News / Poland - Ukraine. Młodzież Wszechpolska against Ukrainians. [180]

Only due to stupid leftist who introduce a moronic electoral system

And who would that be?

It is not about a state but about a nation.

Indeed, the Ukrainian nation. It exists.

in the 990', and that land was going to and fro until in 1340' Polish King inherited

Irrelevant.

News / Poland - Ukraine. Młodzież Wszechpolska against Ukrainians. [180]

Endecja never had been in power

Fortunately, though not without trying, including an attempted coup d'etat. Their heirs were certainly doing their damndest to slip in the back way before history intervened.

What Ukraine eh? Before 1991 there was no Ukraine, only a soviet administrative region had been called Soviet Republic

It's existed for centuries in one form or another, however (rather like a country you used to live in years ago) it hasn't always had its own state due to rapacious neighbours.

your beloved Soviet Union

Not mine. That's even a very strange thing to say.

Worth mentioning that the famine, though concentrated in the Ukraine, also affected parts of Russia, and is something that must never be repeated.
