News / Restoring the Port of Elbląg? [113]
Experts suggest the idea will mean huge costs and little profit.
But at least Russians will have their ears pinned back. That`s what counts for PiS most.

History / Kaczynski's Legacy [88]
Let`s divide all Poland into federal states. Even Warsawians would welcome it with joy as they constantly complain of having to pay too much of their taxes for the poor regions of Poland. Krakow pays too. it is called Robin Hood taxation.
Only creating the United States of Poland will allow everybody to live off what they produce.
I would fully support Silesia becoming a federal Polish state though. Don't see the advantage of Warsaw dictating how Silesian tax money is spent.

News / Tuskites and Poland's ex-commies? PO-SLD coalition? [19]
Yes, they did.
Miller became a member of communist party in 1969.
If you become a member of the communist party and then go on and are promoted to higher and higher ranks, it is natural that you have to take part in Katyń conspiracy of silence, as Polo said.
I never voted those red swines. They built and supported the communist dictatorship which had blood on its hands.
Leszek Miller started his political career as an activist of the Socialist Youth Union, where he held the position of Chairman of the Plant Board, soon becoming a member of the Town Committee. After the military service, in 1969, he joined the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR).
In 1973-1974, Leszek Miller was the Secretary of the PZPR Plant Committee. With granted Party's recommendation, he started political sciences studies at the Party's Higher School of Political Sciences (Wyższa Szkoła Nauk Społecznych), graduating in 1977. After graduation, Leszek Miller worked at the PZPR Central Committee, supervising the Group, and later on the Department of Youth, Physical Education and Tourism.
In July 1986, Leszek Miller was elected the 1st Secretary of the PZPR Provincial Committee in Skierniewice. In December 1988, he returned to Warsaw, due to his promotion to the position of the Secretary of the PZPR Central Committee. As a representative of the government side, he took part in the session of the historic "Round Table", where, together with Andrzej Celiński, he co-chaired the sub-team for youth issues (the only one that closed the session without signing the agreement). In 1989, he became member of the PZPR Political Bureau.
In this case their case would be lost completely. Polo told the truth and nobody can prosecute him for that. I can even repeat - all today`s leftist politicians who made careers in communist system are red swines who took part in Katyn conspiracy of silence. Katyn was utter taboo for communists for decades after WW2. Anybody who would have tried to break the silence and expose Soviet lies, would be finished.
Did Miller and his ilk (Kwaśniewski & Co.) not engage in the Katyń conspiracy of silence as well as the great Katyń lie, not for a year or two or three, but for entire decades?
Yes, they did.
Miller became a member of communist party in 1969.
Did they Polonius? Can you prove it? No, you can't; if you could, you'd write it up with your real name attached to it.

I would be very very careful if I were you Polonius. Polish politicians are no strangers to hauling people up in court over such statements.

You should have mentioned that they are seriously considering earlier elections to keep power (Tusk) or gain it (Miller).

Hmm, after a little research - Wilno, Kaziuki district, Lithuania.

When I wrote :After a few decades of communism which promoted or even required spying on each other,, I didn`t mean that spying was widespread in Poland. I only stated that communist system tried to impose certain types of behaviour on people. Whether they obeyed or not, is another matter.
That`s what I meant. That is why, a public address to residents by the authorities requesting to report on wrongdoers is still sth unthinkable in Poland.
my experience was just an opposite - friends and neighbours supported each other's black market schemes, political jokes and other small rebellions.
When I wrote :After a few decades of communism which promoted or even required spying on each other,, I didn`t mean that spying was widespread in Poland. I only stated that communist system tried to impose certain types of behaviour on people. Whether they obeyed or not, is another matter.
Of course, there were snitches, as everywhere, and opportunists that didn't mind hurting others to get ahead, but Poles were not as brainwashed about reporting neighbours like Cubans are, for example, where every block has a "patriotic" watchman.
